We have not been called to the Round House in #Camden this evening & firefighters are not in attendance
God I miss Dave.
Pause.
Remind me why he left office again?
Because that bit's important...
He has done the right thing and doubt it will be noticed by the public

1) Thinking what won the 2015 general election would win him the referendum
2) Not going Blue on Blue during the campaign
Or maybe it's those people who pounded the pavement to get him his majority - then got belittled for pointing out his supposedly transformational renegotiation was a bag of shite? And THEN got called "Little Englanders" for our pains when we couldn't go along with his charade? Those snakes in the grass?
I'm going to suggest she does the same for Trump and Farage with this picture.
Sainsburys were successful
Likening him to Peter Capaldi's character Malcolm Tucker, Ms O'Keefe claims Forsyth brought a 'brutal bullying culture' from Gordon Brown's Downing Street office and Cox was a 'brazen philanderer'.

If we're lucky we might see its publication this year.
[1] This is oddly true, at least for certain values of "like". I find it easier to cope with people who hold diametrically opposite views to mine if they couch their opinions plainly and without resort to sophistry, redefining words, straw men, inconsistency etc. Farage's plainness was preferable to Vote Leave's circumlocutions.
That’s going to be fun...

Very prescient. I wonder if Green could have guessed quite how long and bitter the battle between Rowland and Fayed would get?
If Bradley's smart he'll keep off twatter permanently.
If political parties are smart they'll stop encouraging their MPs to use twatter.
But he's not and they're not.
Trump is a political null. He has a few half baked ideas to pump up his base, which he will either fail to deliver, or when he does deliver them they will have the opposite effect he claimed. And Trump's not doing stuff because he really believes any of it, his Presidency and the campaign was really about his ego. He simply wanted to be the top dog, because it demonstrates what a great guy he is. To Trump it was the next obvious step after having risen to the dizzy heights of shit reality TV stardom.
But it isnt smart, and so he will.
Corbyn's bad impression of a Bond villain in his sinister little video this week (slightly better than his impression of a potential prime minister) actually throws down the gauntlet to the Press which will redouble its efforts to dig the dirt on his past.
Christmas 1982
The most expensive item on offer was a Ferguson VHS video recorder “offering video programmability and stereo capability” for £599 – equal to £1,863 today. With the average weekly wage in 1982 only £136.50, the video player cost a month’s pay.

All he had left was Project Fear and shoveling borrowed money into pensions and house prices.
Later in the Kremlin I received another tap on my shoulder from another KGB officer and was told to follow him. We went down corridor after corrider leaving my wife and other members of the tour by some distance and arrived in front of double doors. He opened one of the doors and in front of me were rows of Pioneers having their induction ceremony, in front of three party officials, and I was told to film the event. Following this I was escorted back to my group.
I still have the VHS and it is absolutely a true story
Plans would mean a considerable National Insurance increase for the over-40s
They have been put forward by ex-Deputy Prime Minister Damian Green
Radical plans to make millions of workers aged 40 and over pay hundreds of pounds extra in tax every year to fund the growing number of people who will live to 100 have been put forward by ex-Deputy Prime Minister Damian Green.
Mr Green says the move, bound to be dubbed 'Dementia Tax 2', is the only way to ensure that the very elderly who need full-time care can live – and die – in dignity.

Bad Al will be pissing himself at how not to do policy PR.
(Only joking, Jeremy's lawyers....)
The Conservative Party is hiring an army of paid tweeters to take on Jeremy Corbyn’s supporters on social media, the Telegraph can disclose.

"NOW he tells us...."
The deficit for 17/18 is about to come in somewhere between £5bn and £10bn below forecast.
How much would Green's tax proposal raise? Far less I'm sure.
What can Green's proposal possibly achieve other than to lose votes? Just like all the proposals in the Con 2017 manifesto.
It's simple - do nothing - leave taxes as they are.
The deficit is perfectly manageable as it is.
The only significant change needed is the rise in the pension age and that is already being introduced without too much controversy.
Please contain your excitement.

She's going to try and make the Brexit Bill going through Parliament a money bill, which limits the ability of the Lords to amend it.

It is well explained and would pass my Brexit test
[edit: replace with "theatrical cut" 1982 version]
If people who have multi-year otherwise normal posting records start upvoting some talking point, because they are paid of incentivized to do so, how do you test the sincerity of their vote? On the other hand it's easy to filter votes from new accounts, or accounts coming from particular routes, or accounts that have similar posting records.
I'm presuming it works, because there sure seems to be a lot of it going on, and it costs real money.
Of course if you can build bots that are indistinguishable from real users, then the super-bots win. I don't know how good the best bots are, and maybe there are already super-bots that look just like real users.
Consider the following: if in an upcoming election somebody started posting here, or on Twitter, or a site specifically created that day, or somewhere else, then a real person reposted it, linked to it, or repeated it in a real post, then that would workaround your point. I think this is something that can be defeated thru sheer brute force and the known human trait to choose fake facts one likes and discard those real facts one doesn't.
