Have they ever done that before? Like, after every QT?

If not it's just absurdly blatant.

What's up with parties announcing policies after they've published the manifesto? Is it normal? The Tories keep doing it too.

Obviously it's a good policy but it gives the air of making things up as they go along.

I imagine that young people are more likely to be away from their registered constituency near Christmas than olds, since they'll be travelling to visit parents/grandparents. So I hope she's alive.

Dad's hot takes keep on rolling.

"Labour's just full of unemployed people who want a free handout from the hard working Tory voters who'll pay for it all."

Thanks dad.

So if Labour gets a majority, most of the electorate is unemployed?

Sounds like the decade of Tory government has been a roaring success.

Not even sure its an attempt to get students is it? From what little I have read about it, it feels more targetted at people who are already in work - subsidising the training and career development of middle class urban professionals in late 20s-30s, who are anxious about Corbyn but not ready to go full Tory yet

It would cover an entire third of the tuition fees that Jo and her mates decided students should be paying. If that doesn't bring them on board I don't know what will.

Seems I'm taking over our CLP's social media engine. Been reading documents all day about the systems we use and all that, and now have a huge headache (also, well nervous; I get to budget it and all that). Plus, hustings tomorrow night. I like being busy, even if in a losing cause, as Chelmsford hasn't changed hands in 69 years.

Good luck, really. Swaying even one constituency of South Essex would be pretty incredible. I know it's possible though.

The article says it resembles a disinformation campaign from earlier in on the year that originated from Russia, which is how researchers came to the conclusion it could be foreign interference in the current election, and at no point in the article does it claim the leaked documents themselves are false, and therefore disinformation.

Does it matter what the article actually claims? The headline basically reads 'Scumbag Corbyn spreading Russian fake news'.

They tried exactly the same thing last election and basically every day since he got elected, yes it works on some people, but I would suggest if you read and believe the sun you're probably not voting labour anyway given that they spend about half their time complaining about it.

Yeah I doubt that many people who have been swayed to Labour this time around will suddenly be turned off by the thousandth vitriolic headline in a row. They're preaching to their own choir now.

futurama retconned and ruined all of its best moments when it got brought back, a massive mistake

fight me if you disagree

Considering they were only a few years apart OG Futurama and Nu Futurama are so drastically different in tone it's crazy. It suddenly became just another animated show that felt the need to cram a parody of a hot button current issue into every episode (usually a year after it's relevant).

And the true sad episodes are the bee one and the clover one. The dog one was ruined by memes.

They make loads of 'adult' oriented ones now. I had a beer one the other year and got cheese this year.

They're a fun novelty, but usually a con if you look at what you actually get for the money. The main issue is that no one on the planet actually wants to keep up with consuming 24 of the same thing in a row, so they get stockpiled until some mad splurge between boxing day and new years.

Anecdotal obviously, but quite a few people have said encouraging things about the amount of people they've seen at the polling stations. A friend of mine always votes early in the morning and says he's always the only one there. He had to queue this morning.

Yeah, it's causing a dangerous amount of hope. I had a 30 minute queue and there were practically no olds in sight.

It's Labour safe but I've still never seen anything like it.
