I've not listened to the Bugle for the last year or so, what's it like these days? Do they have the Correct Opinions or are we sending Zaltzman to the cricket gulag.

Nish is on it a lot and he is both extremely funny and pretty good politically. Andy is good I think, not like super enthusiastic about Corbyn but relentlessly attacks the Tories. Maybe a bit melty. I think Rob Forde is the only outright bad guest and he's only been in once, and I think he was offset my Mark Steele on that occasion.

I believe ShaneMacGowansTeeth might know, what campaigning is going on in Portsmouth South this weekend? It's suggested to me by the Momentum app but no events but polling day listed, the CLP site lists some training sessions.

Alternatively I could go to East Worthing and Shoreham which need about a 5k swing from Tory to Labour, I don't know how to evaluate which has greater need, although events are listed for it.

Had Julian Huppert come canvassing for the new Lib Dem candidate.
It was kind of embarrassing to basically go "no I can't vote for the Lib Dems and it's your fault." But on the other hand, it was kind of a relief to be able to do so.

I remember him, used to live in Cambridge and he seemed alright to me before becoming properly politically engaged. Am now quite pleased to see that he's gone from losing by 600 to 12000 to Labour, but did he do anything lovely as an individual?

Thurrock - 300-vote lead for the Tories in 2017 in what's probably the most-Leave constituency in the south-east, and one where the Labour leaver>UKIP>Tory pipeline has been in full effect. a big swing in either direction here will give a pretty good sign of what way the election's going.

Wait, I spend all week in Thurrock and the Momentum app was telling me to go to Dagenham, why wouldn't it tell me to go to somewhere like Thurrock which is closer?

But the real question is, if the Tories do lose, where else will they farm the tears and lamentations of the poor to fuel their genisis device and bring back Margaret Thatcher?

The technology will be nationalised for Corbyn's Golden Throne.

Did my democracy in Chichester, safe Tory seat but I guess you have to just go at it until folks see it can be swung.

I really don't see how the Tories can do better than last time, not convinced their Brexit position can land them as many votes as it loses.

Going back to an earlier point, this is the sort of thing I know Bastani for and it seems fine to me, I'm not sure what I'm missing on him. Wasn't sure about hostility to Mason either but I think I've seen it recently.

What would have been the right Brexit approach? Maybe set out the conditions for the deal, and get it. Then if we can't meet the criteria what is settled on goes to confirmatiory vote? Wouldn't appease the Fubpees though, and could be framed as a stitch-up by the right the moment there's a suggestion we can't make the deal.

Has anyone got an easy list of reasons why Jess Phillips is terrible?

Off the top of my head:

Relentless self-promoter, often makes things about her
Stooge to Murdoch and co for favourable coverage
Pretends to be working class when her mum was a senior administrator in the NHS and owned a house in France
Frequently makes comments that could be read as anti Black (lists women in Labour but only white ones) and anti trans. Is also anti sex work
Hostile to traveller communities
Proudly claims to have told Diane Abbot to gently caress off, apparently a lie, which is weird as it seems racist if true
Frequently enters a meter radius of JRM, who remains unstabbed.

Is this true? 37% sounds like a lot to me. It looks like it was more like 20% in 2017.

The constituency I count is mainly rural and still only had around 12,000 postal votes of almost 54,000 cast. So either "Bevan Boy" is hearing rumours (likely) or the Tories have been voting the cemetery on an unprecedented scale.

It's like I keep saying: the Labour Right has had 4 years to think and come up with a better direction and set of policies, so let's hear it!

They honestly seem to think that all they need to do is shout and scream until they're ushered back into leadership unopposed, in order to do...?

Back to the 2010 - 2015 strategy of bland, timid triangulation which proved such a success then, I guess!

I think it's worth mentioning to them that, whilst we're self examining, we should as why the vote share shot up in 2017, what Corbyn did better than Brown and Milliband, and why following Smith Blair only ever lost support.
