ā€œwe do have independent corroborationā€

ā€œThat wasn’t independent that was conservativeā€

Yeah it’s gone full fantasy land.

That’s Jon Snow under that workman’s mask.

We watched that last night and couldn’t believe it.

That was clearly parody, taking the piss, a Private Eye/Daily Mash/ Viz sort of thing. Not a clear attempt to deceive voters by pretending to be an independent ā€˜fact checker’. Absolutely not comparable. As you well know.

So Johnson not going to do ā€œdebateā€ on Channel 4. Also apparently not doing the local hastings in his constituency so it’s been cancelled.

They should have had the bottle to empty chair him. Or just prop a cardboard cutout of him in the chair. Again, just imagine the uproar if corbyn had bottled out of a live debate at the last minute.

Completely agree.

In keeping with current trends, Ch4 should have a Johnson imposter on.

So Labs and Libs have both committed to building huge numbers of houses 150k and 300k pa respectively presumably costed at today’s prices

A couple of snags

There won’t be enough trades to build them, and if there is the only place they will come from is the private sector house builders who will not give them up without a fight. That means a wage war and the costings down the shitter, new build house price increase and no real improvement in the housing stock

Nationalise the house builders, comrade.

Can I remind you how many the Tories promised to build every year and how many they actually built. Perhaps the FAT property developers decided it wasn’t good for the country.

And they don’t want to upset the second property landlords that might naturally lean towards the Tories?

A massive building spree can only reduce rents and promote home ownership?

So instead of learning from Tory fuck ups, they double down. Good stuff

What is the option? Invest in cardboard boxes?

The only thing The Tories are interested in building are WALLS between the have and have nots…
This is very apposite …

A bit like promising to build 40 new hospitals when there are 40,000 nursing vacancies in the ones we already have?

Fear not, 40 new hospitals was just another tory lie, so no need to worry about the lack of nurses(unless you get I’ll of course).
