This ad is further evidence who Boris might want a general election this year ideally after delivering Brexit, when Corbyn is still Labour leader.
However if Labour keeps Corbyn as leader and then follows him with a Corbynite like Laura Pidcock or Rebecca Long-Bailey or John McDonnell or even Chris Williamson then serious questions must now be asked as to whether the LDs, whether with Swinson, Davey or Umunna now have more credible candidates for centre left voters to be PM to take on Boris and Farage than Labour do.
If so and Boris does deliver Brexit to remove the threat from the Brexit Party could it actually be Labour not the Tories under existential threat with a reversion to the 19th century battles between the Tories and Liberals as the 2 main parties rather than the Tories and Labour who dominated the 20th century and the first two decades of the 21st?

As long as Boris does not extend again (even if that requires a Queen's Speech in November to prorogue Parliament past October 31st as he plans as a last resort, then the Brexit Party will not replace the Tories as the main party of the right).

You mean, the false stories about him donating to Deir Yassin Remembered, or laying a wreath on a mass murderer's grave and lying about it, or saying the Jews don't get irony, or calling Hamas and Hezbollah his friends, or protesting about a mural being taken down just because it was a piece of Nazi propaganda?
Oh, hold in, those are true, aren't they?
The real issue with Corbyn and Labour more generally is not what their enemies are saying about them, it's what they're actually saying and doing.
The contest has been dragging on too long and should have been concluded by now, no doubt with Boris winning comfortably.
However, the way both Boris and Hunt have boxed themselves in over Brexit it is hard to forecast the outcome with any confidence. There are several conservative mps including Grieve and Bebb who are looking at the nuclear option, but it is no means certain that even if several conservatives vonc in their own government 100% of labour mps would follow their whip
Of course labour supporters rightly expect any of their mps who defy the whip to be deselected but is not at all clear how many mps of both parties would actually want a GE now before Brexit has become clearer
I understand Barnier had to be told five times to his face the WDA is dead and reacted with fury no doubt over the realisation that his negotiations could see a catastrophic fail in a no deal exit leading to economic disaster for both sides and ruptured relationships that will take years to heal
Let us all hope that over the summer months both Boris and the EU can show some compromise to achieve a brexit that, while not ideal, does not end in an economic armageddon for all
Of course such a rule is rendered otiose by a president who regards anything other than slavish devotion as personally offensive.
One might also remark that a slaveowner who raped his female property is perhaps not the ideal authority to reference in this matter.
THe problem with trying to use this for the Republicans is that calling Trump a racist is a simple statement of fact. The minor detail that if applied logically to all immigrants the whole Trump family would have to be deported shows he is targeting only non-whites.
Although I do agree with him he doesn't have a racist bone in his body. Allowing for the large lump of bone in his arse that masquerades as his brain, he has 207 of them.
I wonder if he truly believes he is not racist. Its hard to see how he could, but he clearly knows enough that being a racist is bad and he cannot possibly be bad, ergo he must not be racist.
He probably does. David Irving, for example, couldn't understand why saying his books were rejected by mainstream publishing houses because the Jews objected to them was racist.
And there are several people in another organisation which shall be nameless who believe they are not racist when they clearly are (THAT mural was all the evidence needed).
But even if Trump were shrewd and sensible (he isn't) he doesn't get to say what is and isn't racism.
And I say again, since his tweets obviously only applied to selected first and second generation immigrants, those with non-white skins, he was clearly being racist.
I don't think he gives it much thought either way. All people are merely tools to him, irrespective of race or creed.
The contest has been dragging on too long and should have been concluded by now, no doubt with Boris winning comfortably.
The problem with a long contest to test the candidates is that if the favourite is found wanting but still wins, it just negates any honeymoon they might otherwise have got.
LD Rob Hopkins 1920 [55.3%; +18.9%] Con 838 [24.1%; -11.9%] Lab 560 [16.1%; -3.3%] PC 152 [4.4% +4.4%]
Lib Dem Hold. Percentage changes from 2017.
I appreciate Cardiff is *really, really different* to Llandrindod Wells, but as a small anecdotal indicator that the Welsh Lib Dems aren't completely moribund, I'd say that's not entirely optimal for the prospects of (convicted expenses-fiddling Tory) Chris Davies.

There is nothing anti semitic about calling Hezbollah friends. I know many very sane Lebanese Christians who would say exactly the same. They have done more for the poor in Lebanon than any other organisation over the last twenty five years. Their crime is that they defended their country from an Israel invasion relatively successfully. As for laying wreaths,,,for God's sake Thathcher had Pinochet home for tea. People dead or alive are multi faceted. If you haven't been you should visit Lebanon. An intelligent population which might give you a mre rounded view of Middle Eastern politics

So I reckon there’s at least six Tories that will VONC the government to stop No Deal and I think that number will rise.
Boris needs to tell the Commons he will not prorogue Parliament to deliver a No Deal Brexit.
Boris will of course not say that and see mass defections of Tory Leave voters to the Brexit Party, if any Tory MPs refuse to back Brexit Deal or No Deal on October 31st as Boris will get a mandate for from Tory members next week then they can join the LDs before they are deselected

Quite the move. I wonder if the far left will react in kind, or simply embark upon a purge of soon-to-be non-persons.
It is hard to see HOL surviving a Corbyn administration. Reaction will, I assume, be a load of Tory Blairites
It's sufficiently broad-based not to be seen as that. But I think it and even more the letter from the 200 miscellaneous members a few days ago make the mistake of turning the issue into a leadership challenge. The mainstream position of members IMO is (1) There's a problem and the party has been too slow to tackle it, in particular the ridiculously slow disciplinary procedures (2) Attacking people with serious health issues is wrong (whether the staff member who considered suicide or Jennie Formby with cancer) (3) Actually encountering any anti-semitism is extremely rare at local meetings (I never have, in nearly 50 years), and not every complaint is reasonable, so due process is needed (4) The issue is being exaggerated by the media and people whose real agenda is getting a leadership change.
There is a majority who want a clear break with practice to restore confidence in the disciplinary procedures, and also a majority who don't want a leadership change. Peers or others who want the former are making a mistake in trying to turn it into the latter.
"Attacking people with serious health issues is wrong (whether the staff member who considered suicide or Jennie Formby with cancer)"
You have to be rather careful with this line. If someone does wrong then they need to be brought to task: people do not get a free ride if they're ill. If they've done wrong *because* they're ill, then they probably shouldn't be in that position and it might be a management failure. If they're ill and they've done wrong independently of that, then it's probably their responsibility and should get blame.
Using your argument, Formby probably shouldn't be in her position - and I think that's a poor precedent if she can still perform her role despite the illness.
Yes, we should treat anyone who is ill with compassion: then again Corbyn (and sadly, your) side of the argument aren't exactly compassionate about their opposition, whether it be internal or external. Leon Brittan comes to mind ...

As to my views I was simply reporting the fact that she is the betting favourite.
Hard to see Labour reviving without a Kinnock style purge of the new Militant Tendency, and I don't see RLB as capable of that. Rayner or Thornbury possibly, but maybe a real bruiser like Watson is needed. Not my party though.
Have not seen much bruising from Watson of late, more like a cuddly toy

However for that to occur Boris has to achieve something and it's not clear how he will do it.
As long as Boris does not extend again (even if that requires a Queen's Speech in November to prorogue Parliament past October 31st as he plans as a last resort, then the Brexit Party will not replace the Tories as the main party of the right).
However Brexit or No Brexit the LDs could soon replace Corbyn Labour as the main party of the centre left just leaving Labour with hard-core socialists and some inner city ethnic minorities
Once again how does Boris do that.
And if you think the Tories will survive a No Deal brexit I think you are in for a surprise or 15 (as unexpected events trigger other unexpected events)...
The Tories will survive a No Deal Brexit, the Tories will not survive No Brexit at all
The United Kingdom won't.
With 64% of Scottish Leave voters still backing the Union according to John Curtice even if 51% of Remain voters now back independence No still remains narrowly ahead in Scotland despite Brexit.
In Northern Ireland a technical solution can still be found for the Irish border ultimately
This ad is further evidence who Boris might want a general election this year ideally after delivering Brexit, when Corbyn is still Labour leader.
However if Labour keeps Corbyn as leader and then follows him with a Corbynite like Laura Pidcock or Rebecca Long-Bailey or John McDonnell then serious questions must now be asked as to whether the LDs, whether with Swinson, Davey or Umunna now have more credible candidates for centre left voters to be PM to take on Boris and Farage than Labour do.

You’ll get more satisfaction talking to a brick wall
Full blown constitutional crisis this year, maybe even next week.
Wha'ppen?
So I reckon there’s at least six Tories that will VONC the government to stop No Deal and I think that number will rise.
Boris needs to tell the Commons he will not prorogue Parliament to deliver a No Deal Brexit.
Boris will of course not say that and see mass defections of Tory Leave voters to the Brexit Party, if any Tory MPs refuse to back Brexit Deal or No Deal on October 31st as Boris will get a mandate for from Tory members next week then they can join the LDs before they are deselected
And you, as a Remainer, should go and join them. Good luck to you all.

It really depends on many factors but if it morphs into a Farage stye Brexit Party it will fracture and in time a new alignment of politics will take place
Apparently Rebecca Long-Bailey has acquired the nickname of Rebecca Wrong Daily which rhymes.
As to my views I was simply reporting the fact that she is the betting favourite.
Hard to see Labour reviving without a Kinnock style purge of the new Militant Tendency, and I don't see RLB as capable of that. Rayner or Thornbury possibly, but maybe a real bruiser like Watson is needed. Not my party though.
Have not seen much bruising from Watson of late, more like a cuddly toy
Watson might be having a squeaky bum time over a certain current court case.

You mean, the false stories about him donating to Deir Yassin Remembered, or laying a wreath on a mass murderer's grave and lying about it, or saying the Jews don't get irony, or calling Hamas and Hezbollah his friends, or protesting about a mural being taken down just because it was a piece of Nazi propaganda?
Oh, hold in, those are true, aren't they?
The real issue with Corbyn and Labour more generally is not what their enemies are saying about them, it's what they're actually saying and doing.
Are those the strongest claims of anti semitism against corbyn? There is a reasonable case to be made that the only anti semitism in that list is 'Jews don't get irony'. A stereotype and a completely innacurate onre to boot. The rest are all Israel related.
There is nothing anti semitic about calling Hezbollah friends. I know many very sane Lebanese Christians who would say exactly the same. They have done more for the poor in Lebanon than any other organisation over the last twenty five years. Their crime is that they defended their country from an Israel invasion relatively successfully. As for laying wreaths,,,for God's sake Thathcher had Pinochet home for tea. People dead or alive are multi faceted. If you haven't been you should visit Lebanon. An intelligent population which might give you a mre rounded view of Middle Eastern politics
So you do concede he is antisemitic? Well, it's a start.
And calling any organisation that denies the Holocaust a friend, or worse, giving money to it, is also clearly antisemitic.
As was that mural, which was based on Nazi propaganda, and your feeble attempt to ignore it has not gone unnoticed.
Corbyn may not think he is a racist but his excuses for behaviour which in all any non-Labour politician he would rightly roundly condemn border on the asinine.
And as for the whataboutery with regard to Pinochet - are you really saying he's OK because he's done some things that are comparable to Thatcher? That strikes me as a dangerous argument...

You're asking them if they value being shackled to an economic basket case more than membership of the EU.
Even if No is still narrowly ahead (it’s MoE in the polls), please remember that Yes went from 28% to 45% during the referendum campaign. This is why nobody will grant a new Section 30: they know the Unionists need to start with a clear lead to have any chance of winning.
The remarkable fact in all this is that the Lib Dems, SNP and Greens have been true to their principles and are rapidly gaining popularity. They are also strong revoke parties and the pendulum is swinging strongly their way
It is evidenced in the huge gains the Lib Dems are making in local elections and predictions coming out of Scotland of a complete wipe out for the conservatives and labour
Unless Boris can achieve a deal it is highly likely the momentum to revoke will overwhelm brexit, and that is especially true in a no deal situation where revoke will become the force de jure

Boris will of course not say that and see mass defections of Tory Leave voters to the Brexit Party, if any Tory MPs refuse to back Brexit Deal or No Deal on October 31st as Boris will get a mandate for from Tory members next week then they can join the LDs before they are deselected
How many new MPs can we expect?
Up to 30, a new pro Boris Tory candidate for every MP who votes against an October 31st Brexit Deal or No Deal
You think 30 current Tory MPs should join the lib Dems?
Getting rid of the chaff. The Conservative Party will be down to a pure core of both MPs and members before you know it. Sadly, that number won't include @HYUFD who, as a Remainer, will be excluded from that band of brothers.
He's like the PB version of Owen Jones, desperately trying to make up for not being part of the cult at the beginning.
Classic Stockholm Syndrome. But he is by his own description in the wrong party.
For a Tory, HY spends an awful lot of time and energy bigging up the Brexit Party.
Someone needs to gently point out that the Brexit Party are opponents of the Conservative Party, not best buddies.
Full blown constitutional crisis this year, maybe even next week.
Wha'ppen?

Of course such a rule is rendered otiose by a president who regards anything other than slavish devotion as personally offensive.
One might also remark that a slaveowner who raped his female property is perhaps not the ideal authority to reference in this matter.
THe problem with trying to use this for the Republicans is that calling Trump a racist is a simple statement of fact. The minor detail that if applied logically to all immigrants the whole Trump family would have to be deported shows he is targeting only non-whites.
Although I do agree with him he doesn't have a racist bone in his body. Allowing for the large lump of bone in his arse that masquerades as his brain, he has 207 of them.
I wonder if he truly believes he is not racist. Its hard to see how he could, but he clearly knows enough that being a racist is bad and he cannot possibly be bad, ergo he must not be racist.
He probably does. David Irving, for example, couldn't understand why saying his books were rejected by mainstream publishing houses because the Jews objected to them was racist.
And there are several people in another organisation which shall be nameless who believe they are not racist when they clearly are (THAT mural was all the evidence needed).
But even if Trump were shrewd and sensible (he isn't) he doesn't get to say what is and isn't racism.
And I say again, since his tweets obviously only applied to selected first and second generation immigrants, those with non-white skins, he was clearly being racist.
I don't think he gives it much thought either way. All people are merely tools to him, irrespective of race or creed.
But yes, of course he is racist
Indeed, he is prejudiced against those who are not orange.
You mean, the false stories about him donating to Deir Yassin Remembered, or laying a wreath on a mass murderer's grave and lying about it, or saying the Jews don't get irony, or calling Hamas and Hezbollah his friends, or protesting about a mural being taken down just because it was a piece of Nazi propaganda?
Oh, hold in, those are true, aren't they?
The real issue with Corbyn and Labour more generally is not what their enemies are saying about them, it's what they're actually saying and doing.
Are those the strongest claims of anti semitism against corbyn? There is a reasonable case to be made that the only anti semitism in that list is 'Jews don't get irony'. A stereotype and a completely innacurate onre to boot. The rest are all Israel related.
There is nothing anti semitic about calling Hezbollah friends. I know many very sane Lebanese Christians who would say exactly the same. They have done more for the poor in Lebanon than any other organisation over the last twenty five years. Their crime is that they defended their country from an Israel invasion relatively successfully. As for laying wreaths,,,for God's sake Thathcher had Pinochet home for tea. People dead or alive are multi faceted. If you haven't been you should visit Lebanon. An intelligent population which might give you a mre rounded view of Middle Eastern politics
So you do concede he is antisemitic? Well, it's a start.
And calling any organisation that denies the Holocaust a friend, or worse, giving money to it, is also clearly antisemitic.
As was that mural, which was based on Nazi propaganda, and your feeble attempt to ignore it has not gone unnoticed.
Corbyn may not think he is a racist but his excuses for behaviour which in all any non-Labour politician he would rightly roundly condemn border on the asinine.
And as for the whataboutery with regard to Pinochet - are you really saying he's OK because he's done some things that are comparable to Thatcher? That strikes me as a dangerous argument...
Recognising the mural, which purported to show real bankers, at least two of them not Jewish, as based on Nazi propaganda, surely depends on a knowledge of Nazi propaganda. It seems entirely plausible that Corbyn did not see the connection.
It's interesting that the South East and East have continued to grow.
There's probably lots of local variations there as well with Oxford, Cambridge and stockbroker towns having no growth but prices increasing in the likes of Basildon and Crawley.
The North-East looks the real outlier, it seems to be diverging generally from the rest of the North.
But overall its the house price pattern the country needs.

I fear that the Conservatives see their former supporters over with the BXP as the wife and children having taken a temporary break, more like a holiday really. In ten years time they will wake up and notice that they are living in a bedsit over a flower shop eating beans out of a can.
(Similar can probably be applied to those who have left LibDemwards.)

See Lib Dems won the Cardiff by election by 30%, in 2017 neck and neck with Conservative. Is this a sign of what will happen up the road at Brecon in a fortnight. Whatever it is it appears to be another one in the eye for "Team Boris"

Fine
You are a very sad convert to the cult.
Once you talked some sense but recently you appear to have been brain washed, probably by spending too much time with the likes of IDS
Being brainwashed by someone who is renowned for not being that strong in the grey cells department is a sad indictment
If we leave aside the 2015 revelation that Corbyn was a friend and supporter of Paul Eisen, this has now been a constant running sore for over a year.
At what point would a sensible person have got a grip?
If we lived somewhere where Boris's favourite love Island contestant wasn't front page news it would be possible for Corbyn and co to start asking sensible questions whether it is desirable for Israel to describe itslf as a Jewish State' and to question Mark Regev- ex Israeli propaganda chief current Israeli Ambassador to London-'s part in the continuous stories-real and false-about Corbyn's so called 'anti semitism'.
Would you call England a Christian State?
It's not a state of any kind (except in the sense of being in 'a bit of a')

You are correct that @HYUFD represents a substantial strand of BREXIT thinking within the Conservative party.
However the site is certainly strong enough to withstand robust debate on his views. Certainly he is not backward in coming forward to espouse them and counter argue the many who disagree with him.
PB is not snowflake central as you have certainly realized from the concerted efforts to rubbish your ideas and your hardly pusillanimous responses.

Strangely they get triggered by an accurate bar chart.
And if you think the Tories will survive a No Deal brexit I think you are in for a surprise or 15 (as unexpected events trigger other unexpected events)...

However, the way both Boris and Hunt have boxed themselves in over Brexit it is hard to forecast the outcome with any confidence. There are several conservative mps including Grieve and Bebb who are looking at the nuclear option, but it is no means certain that even if several conservatives vonc in their own government 100% of labour mps would follow their whip
Of course labour supporters rightly expect any of their mps who defy the whip to be deselected but is not at all clear how many mps of both parties would actually want a GE now before Brexit has become clearer
I understand Barnier had to be told five times to his face the WDA is dead and reacted with fury no doubt over the realisation that his negotiations could see a catastrophic fail in a no deal exit leading to economic disaster for both sides and ruptured relationships that will take years to heal
Let us all hope that over the summer months both Boris and the EU can show some compromise to achieve a brexit that, while not ideal, does not end in an economic armageddon for all
Time will tell
All people are merely tools to him, irrespective of race or creed.

There is nothing anti semitic about calling Hezbollah friends. I know many very sane Lebanese Christians who would say exactly the same.

You have to be rather careful with this line. If someone does wrong then they need to be brought to task: people do not get a free ride if they're ill. If they've done wrong *because* they're ill, then they probably shouldn't be in that position and it might be a management failure. If they're ill and they've done wrong independently of that, then it's probably their responsibility and should get blame.
Using your argument, Formby probably shouldn't be in her position - and I think that's a poor precedent if she can still perform her role despite the illness.
Yes, we should treat anyone who is ill with compassion: then again Corbyn (and sadly, your) side of the argument aren't exactly compassionate about their opposition, whether it be internal or external. Leon Brittan comes to mind ...
Boy, if you think Hezbollah's only crime is that then you're seriously deluded.
In Northern Ireland a technical solution can still be found for the Irish border ultimately

It is evidenced in the huge gains the Lib Dems are making in local elections and predictions coming out of Scotland of a complete wipe out for the conservatives and labour
Unless Boris can achieve a deal it is highly likely the momentum to revoke will overwhelm brexit, and that is especially true in a no deal situation where revoke will become the force de jure

If Corbyn didn't recognise the tropes within the mural and think "danger, danger!", then frankly he's utterly clueless.
Worse, he's so clueless that he's in no position to comment on anti-Semitism by anyone - including himself.
Johnson is going to leave Downing Street with a putrefying whale carcass on the doorstep.
