If you didn't really follow this stuff from panorama programme you would be forgiven For thinking the Russians hacked into the voting machines.
Drink, sex, or posting on PB?
On a separate but similar note, I notice that the BBC have started saying "the NHS in England." I wonder if they've had complaints about this because it is important to distinguish between the NHS in England which is run by Westminster and the NHS in Wales, Scotland and NI which is run by the devolved administrations.

When I first read it I assumed it was by some worthy dullard desperate to be published, but upon re-reading the hoax elements do seem to shine through subtly. Clever if it really is a wind up.
I mean, we are talking about the place where they published an article blaming the Mumbai terrorist attack on excessive business success in India.
Doesn't seem to have made much difference to the voting intention numbers though. I seem to recall that someone claimed to be the actual hoaxer, but damned if I can't remember anything else about the case.

But presumably if the Guardian was doubtful about its veracity they'd have taken it down by now, so who knows?

Its a chance for Bookies to make more money out of gullible punters. UKIP are a busted flush.
@faisalislam: My understanding: tho out of ECJ jurisdiction, & so Single Market formal membership, Customs Union language in May speech less concrete 1/2
@faisalislam: ...Irish border and auto biz concerns about customs union exit, and repeated indications that PM/ Davis do not see it as a "binary issue"
(NB those taking the train to commute to London are mostly not living in Stoke-on-Trent Central!)
The pound shop Gordon Brown, less so.

So over to you Mrs Sturgeon.
If it is something that will give me nightmares, don't tell me, as I'm headed for bed now.
The common ground can also see that negotiation requires a hard nose.

May will have to hold this line through a lot of political and economic turbulence over the next 2 years. Can she do it? I don't think so.
May was making a speech recently about mental health. If one area of the NHS needs extra resources it is this. No-one who hasn't lived with someone suffering from mental illness can have any idea of how awful it is, not just for the sufferer but for those around them.
And yet getting help, getting the right help is a lucky dip with the odds stacked against you. Providing help to those in this desperately vulnerable position, to their carers, to families who fear the premature death of those in the grip of despair and illness is not toxic.
It is unfashionable but not toxic. When you need help you realise how callous it can sound to say that welfare is something ghastly to be got rid of just so that we can, well, what, exactly?
