I have a deep sense of foreboding about this election. After a decade of Tory rule, and a Tory manifesto that will pledge to force through an agenda (Brexit) that it knows to be economically catastrophic - there's an open goal, right there.
But the opposition are in such disarray, that the open goal will be missed. Corbyn's weakness on Brexit will be Labour's undoing. And I'm fairly sure the Tories will mop up as a result. FPTP will see them through.

Tory MPs mocking Corbyn for the colour of his (bright green) tie - which he was wearing to show solidarity for the Grenfell victims.

Its unknown for me to say anything positive about Theresa May, but to her rare credit she was fuming with her colleagues about it! |

In a rare case of social media platforms understanding their place in modern society, and particularly how they can be abused, Twitter are banning all paid political adverts from 22nd November. Comes at a time when zuckerberg is being grilled in Washington On that very issue at the moment (and not looking very convincing in answering from what I’ve seen)
I know its only a small segment of the big political outreach pie, and I’m sure the people paid big bucks to figure out ways around this will soon do so, but the timing is a bit interesting given it comes into effect slap bang in the middle of our election campaigning season

And to add to that, just read that 2017 campaigning spent £3.7m on Facebook ads - £50k on twitter. So probably won’t have much of an effect, but a good step nonetheless

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_GatlandOops - "a post she resigned from after being exposed as a former member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA).[1] I suppose those calling Corbyn a traitor will be wanting to know why there is an ACTUAL former IRA member working as a councillor for the Tory party?

The political journey from being a member of the IRA to a Conservative councillor is... intriguing.

Not to mention Claire Fox, one time leading light of the Revolutionary Communist Party who applauded the IRA bombing of Warrington, now represents the area as a Brexit Party MEP for the Northwest |

Corbyn gets called a terrorist sympathiser and IRA supporter by brainless idiots. He was openly talking to Sinn Fein members as he had nothing to hide and was trying to get solutions for peace. At the same time Maggie Thatcher was telling the e public she doesn't talk to terrorist's while secretly meeting with the IRA.

I know a literal astrophysicist that does this, somebody that I know to be a strong debater on certain other topics. He's even endorsed Daily Mail articles despite disregarding the DM as untrustworthy when cited in other, non-political discussions. |
