"3. The “octopus” line about Trump is engineered persuasion of the highest order. It makes the story deeply visual and extra-creepy. Godzilla, or someone similarly skilled, is probably behind that word. It’s too engineered for a civilian to concoct during an interview. That’s professional work. And it’s probably a golden stake through Trump’s political heart. (Well played.)"
I remember girls at Uni back in the 1980s who would complain about certain fellow male classmates who had 'wandering hands like an octopus".
Don't know which programme you were watching.Salmond and the guy from the former Indy were the only ones speaking any sense on QT. The audience were very pro Brexit but the arguments were with the Remainers. The audience reminded me of Wallpole's quote "Today they ring the bells. tomorrow their hands!"
Salmond.
Salmond was an irrelevance. The whole rationale behind the stupid 2nd referendum talk is to try and get the SNP a sliver of influence in GB politics. As with Lab and the LDs they've been totally blindsided and cast aside by Brexit.
Amazing how few people see this. May has parked her tanks over EVERYONE's lawns.
and yet , the one party losing votes everywhere in today's by elections are the Conservatives . If May and the Conservatives are so wonderful why don't people want to go out and vote for them ?
I think the May 2015 result was LibDem 2262, Con 2842.
I can't work out the swing.
There was some tremendous Tory council wins in the Mid Dorset constituency - largely because local elections coincided with the general, where MDNP was a hyper marginal Westminster seat and the focus of huge amounts of activists attention. I have a worn down pair of Barkers in the cupboard to prove it - walked 25 miles delivering and canvassing on the day before polling day.
I can't imagine there was any real expectation of us holding it (Broadstone ward is a LD stronghold usually) on cold October day in 2016. As an example, I am on the activist mailing list and didn't even know about it.
Catching up. Wow, Michelle Obama has come out swinging the bat.
As I said, ignore the polls and look at behaviour. Going OTT on Trump looked weird.
And deployment of Michelle whilst Hillary is AWOL.
There's something up. Polling or stuff, who knows - but it's there.
I think this is a great selection deal closer than it looks. Otherwise, why the uber smearing?
It makes no sense.
As discussed on the PB podcast yesterday, the candidates both do better when they are not in the headlines. Keeping Trump top of the news gives Clinton an advantage.

Er, to win. And win big, down ticket big, taking the Senate as well.
Also, it seemed to me that Michelle Obama was genuinely very very angry and nobody was going to stop her speaking. And rightly so. Trump is unfit to be President and nearly everyone knows this.

And more specifically, I have never seen such a negative reaction to everything said by the Labour Party representative.
If it's this bad in London, what's it like for them elsewhere?
Hendon is a Tory part of London and, perhaps more relevant, a very Jewish area. Of all communities the Jewish community is the least impressed with Labour right now.
More seriously, QT audiences are designed to be pretty reflective of a broad range of opinions. They are good reflections of the demos in general - which is why it remains a watchable programme that parties send serious reps to.

It frustrates me how excited people get with LDs winning wards in safe Tory party seats (especially one I know an awful lot about), translating that into support for whatever pet policy said LD ramper wants to translate it. It is the very epitome of 'winning here' baloney.

Because at a local level nobody is as good as the Lib Dems at keeping public toilets open.
The SNP are at 52 per cent in Scottish polls, 50 per cent in Westminster ones, independence at 48 per cent and support for Indy 2 at 55 per cent today against a hard Brexit.

Seen the oil price lately?
Fair point. But my feeling is that wont matter.
Laughter aside, oil is the shorthand - real emotional and physical ties with the Union the underlying reasons why Scots voted No. And would again, if NiSt is silly enough to call for a referendum...

Well they were quite happy to turn out and vote Conservative last October and previous Octobers when Cameron ( you know the one you stabbed in the back ) was leader . Why should it be any different this October
Cyrus the 45th Chapter It was prior to my second meeting with Trump when I ran across an unusual image on my computer. It was a picture of him seated in the Oval Office with these words: “Donald Trump 45th President of the United States.” The image made a peculiar impression on me. I wanted to return to my work, but could not shake the image. It struck me the same way the “wrecking ball” word did.
Immediately after that, I heard the Lord say, “Read Isaiah 45.” Now I don’t pretend to hear God all the time so the few times I do hear, it stands out. I had a King James Version Bible near me and began to read: “Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped, to subdue nations before him and to loose the belts of kings, to open doors before him that gates may not be closed” (Isaiah 45:1). “Cyrus,” I thought? “Who is he again? How does this matter to America right now?” Here’s what I found: In Isaiah 45, God prophesied that He would raise up a ruler named Cyrus, and this was announced 150 years before the man was born. Cyrus is mentioned by name 30 times in the Bible, and it was the Cyrus decree that authorized the return of the Jews to Jerusalem to rebuild the house of God. It was also this decree that empowered Nehemiah to build his wall. Isaiah predicted that Cyrus would virtually walk right into Babylon and take it. In 539 B.C., a man named Cyrus did just that— he took Babylon without a struggle. According to the Greek historian Herodotus, his army diverted the course of the Euphrates river, making the river level drop and giving the invading forces the ability to enter into the city that night through the riverbed. It was just as Isaiah the prophet said, prophesying to Babylon, "I will dry up your rivers" (Isaiah 44:27). The Bible tells us that as the Babylonian King Belshazzar and his friends were drunk with wine, no one had noticed that the waters in the Euphrates were diminishing. Cyrus marched his armies across the riverbed. Just as Isaiah wrote, the gates would “not be closed” (Isaiah 45:1), and the Persians easily entered the city through the open gates. "That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was slain” (Daniel 5:30, NIV). Within a year, Cyrus declared all the Jews held captive in Babylon were to be set free and allowed to return home to Jerusalem, as described in Ezra 1. These two events— the taking of Babylon the Great, without a battle, and the freeing of the Jews soon after— are both remarkable historical events tied to a prophecy in Isaiah 150 years before they occurred. I find it remarkable that God calls people to specific tasks before they were born, don’t you?

An easy choice if ever there was one. Especially as 45% voted to LEAVE last time.

Scotland without oil included has a GDP just below the UK average and higher than any part of the country except London and the South East. Despite the oil job losses of the last two years it has higher employment and lower unemployment than the UK average.

Only in the minds of the London media, zombies in the Q.T audience and of course yourself is if a "basket case". However dont stop saying it because you are helping the cause.

1) Scotland is leaving the EU 2) If Scotland left the UK it would be leaving it's biggest market
England sells more to Scotland that to India and China combined. It even sells more goods and services to Scotland than it does to Ireland with whom the UK Goverment is desperately trying to avoid a hard border and has already pledged to do so.
Scotland had no wish to leave the EU and the single market and is perfectly content wit the benefits of free movement of people. The Scots are also liked by other Europeans who hold the country in much higher esteem than you do.
Finally I notice that while racist incidents in England rose by 40 per cent in the aftermath of Brexit they declined in Scotland by 15 per cent. Perhaps you should chew on that and contemplate which society is likely to embrace the modern world and which is in danger of becoming the basket case.

In sterling terms the oil price is now over double where it was some months ago. However there is much more to this argument than oil.

'In sterling terms the oil price is now over double where it was some months ago. However there is much more to this argument than oil.'

Economics, bad enough already, would get worse.
A basket case would likely become a failed state.
