🤪 2019 General Election Discussion :gov:

Breaking News.
The BBC have apologized for showing a video of Boris Johnson winning the war. In a statement they said that superimposing his face onto library footage of Winston Churchill on VE Day was a ā€˜technical error’ by a junior member of staff.
They added that there will be no inquiry and the matter is closed.

I posted this above…

Question is whether all polling organisations are using similar assumptions about turnout.

Also, the massive uptick in voter registrations, especially younger voters, should (if it isn’t already) be factored into the polling).

Raab had an easy night of it then.

Let’s hope most of them are students enrolled at either Uxbridge Poly or The University or Esher and Walton.

You did. Sorry.

I’ve read that they do but seen no evidence to back the claim. The way they always seem to correlate would suggest they do and are fraudulent vehicles used to influence perception.

Yes it should, but i’d be willing to bet it isn’t. Doesn’t suit the narrative.

Interesting that this report is from the FT, hardly a left leaning publication. Of course the BBC and Sky News will be highlighting it on their news programs!

The stuff about the voter registration and rather oddly weighted nature of some of the polls does provide a little bit of hope, especially if they end up voting Labour and vote in the right places.

The FT article is another good indication that people really aren’t sure what Boris is bringing to the table. With his track record, a vote for the Conservatives isn’t any less clear than a vote for the Brexit Party. You’d certainly be a fool to believe that they’re going to implement their manifesto.

What the.

Michael Gove, er, keeping it real?

As one Twitter user replied to Gove: ā€œCongrats, you’ve found the Twitter equivalent of blackface.ā€

Fuck it. Let them get on with it. They certainly wouldn’t be the first bunch of Tories to start shipping percentage points as soon as they needed to connect with the public.

Corbs just refused to apologise re anti Semitsm four times on Andrew Neil interview

That’s written the headlines tomorrow

He really is a stubborn bugger - he could have so easily killed this off years ago.

On to Brexit

Corbyn will negotiate the deal then let someone else champion it against a remain option

So no incentive for him to negotiate a good deal nor for the EU to provide one

Labour can only equal remain on that basis

That is a really crap position to take

Looks like you forgot to change your log in! Ha! More fake news from the Tories!
