By doubling their vote share?
Con + UKIP/Brexit Party went down. Labour + Lib Dem went up.
Corbyn Labour is not a Remain party unlike the LDs
Sleazy Tories on the slide!
Tories up 17%
They might have peaked! What is amazing is TM could get 40% plus whereas BJ struggles with artificial support from the Brexit supporting media to get 35%! Is that why BJ is a winner and TM a loser?
TM did not have the Brexit Party
And if the Spartans had followed Boris and voted for Mays' deal then there would not have been the need to pay homage to non Tories like farage in order to get brexit.
I was very disappointed with Mind Hunters Season 2. Season 1 was outstanding.
Not as bad as Westworld, but there are so many tv shows over the past 3-4 years that have followed a similar pattern. Ozarks, Westworld, Billions, all big budget shows that are piss poor.

I was shocked to find out just how much nicotine is in the leading brand, Juul, plus how much people actually use of it.
I'm not a smoker, but the unscientific caffeine equivalent seems like somebody going from having a few cups of coffee a day, to constantly pounding cans of Red Bull.
An awful lot of the vaping deaths are of kids who have been mixing cannabis into their vapes.

Me, I've rewatched Breaking Bad over the summer.
Breaking Bad is the best TV show ever, anyone who says otherwise will spend eternity stuck in a lift with Piers Morgan.
Nah Deadwood is far better.
That’s more controversial than any Brexit statement made on this site!!!!
Deadwood is jolly good, Breaking Bad is better (but the ending sucks)
Superior to all of them is Spartacus. An absolute masterpiece. They invented their own dialect.
Show me to wine, Crixus.
Despite a famous novellist PBer also adoring Spartacus I just could not get into it. But Breaking Bad was much more over hyped.
Narco’s?
Never seen it unfortunately. The Wire is a great show, as I recall, but I've never felt the urge to rewatch it so I doubt it is as good as I remember. Better than the borefest of Mad Men, for sure.
We’re all remarkably affable and pleasant when the B word is taken out of conversation for a while. A promising sign for when things will, and they will, clam down and revert to normality.
What have the Lib Dems got to offer if Brexit gets done?
Still going to revoke if they win a majority?
Scrap tuition fees?
When the poison pill of Brexit starts to bite, people won’t be thanking the Tories, or rushing to vote Labour.
I was very disappointed with Mind Hunters Season 2. Season 1 was outstanding.
Both were ok, but my word the lead chap is a charisma vacuum.
Season 1 was great, because of all the recreations of the real interviews with the serial killers. It was absolutely incredible viewing seeing / hearing these crazed people talk about their actions in calm and rational matter of fact manner.

I will never understand why people like The West Wing. It's like a CBBC show about US politics.
I’m in Washington now and surprised to find that it seems a reasonably decent place to live. With features reminiscent of European cities - such as focusing traffic on main roads, tree-lined streets, pavement dining, wide pavements and walkability - where most American towns fail. Yet pretty much every American who i’ve told we’re coming here has told me how dreadful it is and suggested that I shouldn’t bother.
I don’t think the UK has yet reached the level of disdain for London that Americans have for their capital?

The committee cited data about under-34s who spend on average more than twice as much time each day watching YouTube than they do BBC 1, BBC2, ITV 1, Channel 4 and Channel 5 combined, suggesting that there is a danger that income will continue to diminish in the coming years as younger viewers simply choose not to pay the licence fee.

As long as diehard Remainers keep lining up behind the LDs rather than Corbyn Labour yes, those who back the Brexit Party will never support a Brexit Deal.

Your making the mistake in thinking the next GE will be like 2015 imo. The LD are going to be eating into Tory seats as will the SNP. If Labour hold much of what they got in 2017, the Tories will be screwed. It has to be remembered the Tories are seeking a realignment election, the vote distrubution might be worse than 2017 and certainly 2015.
If Boris secures a Brexit deal it'll be a landslide wipe out for the Tories at any subsequent GE. It'll be 1945 all over again - 'Thanks Boris, you've atoned, but we really need to move onto something else now. You do understand don't you?'

Anyway, don't vape weed.
As I said, cannabis on its own is, basically, not toxic. Nicotine, on the other hand, is highly so. Cannabis does, in fact, feature vasodilating properties. I could well imagine that adding a very liberal dose of cannabis to a stupidly monstrous dose of nicotine might amplify the effects of the latter so strongly that a medical emergency is induced. I think it would be safer to say "Anyway, don't vape nicotine". And better to never mix the two.

If a brexit deal has been struck in the Wirral today it will give the scousers another reason to be absolutely unbearable
The Wirral isn't Liverpool, there's a bit of water and a tunnel between the two.
Plastic Scousers is the usual term for Wirralites.
Before anyone gets upset, I married a plastic Scouser.
But the Wirral is Merseyside (though try telling that to those arses in West Kirby). Incidently, I think the term is plazzy Scouser.
Yours,
Plazzy Scouser from Wallasey (now lives in Bootle).
Or as the Tranmere Rovers chant has it
Don't be mistaken, don't be misled, We're not Scousers, we're from Birkenhead. You can #### your cathedrals and your Pier Head For we're not Scousers, we're from Birkenhead

I think at that point whilst people (remainer people) didn't like the no deal is better than a bad deal rhetoric and maybe some of the other stuff people were more prepared to accept the idea of Brexit, maybe it won't be so bad...
I feel like the Conservatives did everything they could to push reluctant Brexiteers away from that kind of thinking.
As usual, something weird going on with Giuliani...
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/10/rudy-giuliani-vienna/599833/ ...This morning, Giuliani told me he’d have to reschedule our lunch. I’ve tried to reach him since then, to discuss Parnas’s and Fruman’s arrests, among other things, to no avail. When I called at 3 p.m. ET to ask about his Vienna trip, a woman claiming to be his communications director answered the phone. I have called him more than 100 times over the past year, and this is the first time that has ever happened. She said she’d have to get back to me. As we spoke, I could hear a voice that resembled Giuliani’s shout “asshole” in the background. “Oh, sorry,” the woman told me. “He was talking to the TV.”
Why were Parnas and Fruman bound for Vienna? Why was Giuliani—if what he told me was true—planning to be in the same city a day later?
Giuliani finally sent me a text message at 4:18 p.m. ET: “I can’t comment on it at this time.”...
Random question. Who’s looking forward to El Camino?
Me, I've rewatched Breaking Bad over the summer.
Breaking Bad is the best TV show ever, anyone who says otherwise will spend eternity stuck in a lift with Piers Morgan.
Nah Deadwood is far better.
That’s more controversial than any Brexit statement made on this site!!!!
Deadwood is jolly good, Breaking Bad is better (but the ending sucks)
Superior to all of them is Spartacus. An absolute masterpiece. They invented their own dialect.
Show me to wine, Crixus.
Despite a famous novellist PBer also adoring Spartacus I just could not get into it. But Breaking Bad was much more over hyped.
Narco’s?
Never seen it unfortunately. The Wire is a great show, as I recall, but I've never felt the urge to rewatch it so I doubt it is as good as I remember. Better than the borefest of Mad Men, for sure.
We’re all remarkably affable and pleasant when the B word is taken out of conversation for a while. A promising sign for when things will, and they will, clam down and revert to normality.
What have the Lib Dems got to offer if Brexit gets done?
Still going to revoke if they win a majority?
Scrap tuition fees?
Ummm: there will be millions of people who still feel very angry about Brexit, and they will be a repository for their votes.
The LibDems: the Bile Party.... Sounds about right.
Election twists on Labour getting these younger voters out in big numbers and the Brexit party putting in a decent performance (with the older age group) they also tend to turn out in much higher numbers (from a low base) in general elections compared to local elections.
Edit: Should probably mention I randomly saw this on twitter, not sure where it is from...
Americans keep dropping dead from Vaping. Surely the next scandal to come?
I was shocked to find out just how much nicotine is in the leading brand, Juul, plus how much people actually use of it.
I'm not a smoker, but the unscientific caffeine equivalent seems like somebody going from having a few cups of coffee a day, to constantly pounding cans of Red Bull.
An awful lot of the vaping deaths are of kids who have been mixing cannabis into their vapes.
That's interesting. Has a 'lethal dose of cannabis' finally been discovered? Many research efforts had been made over several decades, yet never had a lethal cannabis intoxication ever been observed. Neither among humans nor any other species, neither in set trials nor 'accidentally' in real life.
Perhaps weed plus vape is more napalmy on your lungs than vape alone. My understanding (anecdotal rather than clinical) is that it's a lung trauma thing rather than a psychoactive thing causing the problems.
Anyway, don't vape weed.
As I said, cannabis on its own is, basically, not toxic. Nicotine, on the other hand, is highly so. Cannabis does, in fact, feature vasodilating properties. I could well imagine that adding a very liberal dose of cannabis to a stupidly monstrous dose of nicotine might amplify the effects of the latter so strongly that a medical emergency is induced. I think it would be safer to say "Anyway, don't vape nicotine". And better to never mix the two.
TBH from what I understand vaping weed is the healthiest way to do weed.
Also speaking as someone who has done both nicotine comes with far worse effects!
I can't see vaping canabis will be less unhealthy than ingesting it.
Certainly the worst in terms of long term health is smoking tabacco, which puts tar+smoke+nicotine in the lungs Then comes smoking canabis (gras joint, bong or pipe) without tabacco.
But vaping is still putting a high concentration of chemicals in the lungs which will also have a long term health impact.
I agree that nicotine however it is taken is bad. It is a poison.

TBH I forget sometimes that you can take it other ways than burning/heating and inhaling, vaping is the healthiest form of that, you are right that eating it is healthier.
I don't actually know all that much about the difference when it comes to the vaping oils people use with nicotine in them, haven't really looked into it. My understanding is it is can be healthier to vape something rather than smoke it like a cigarette but obviously it can still be bad if it is unhealthy to start with.
Also in terms of smoking weed, a grass/skunk joint is actually a lot better than a rocky/solids* joint in terms of lungs, the former is stronger as well so you smoke less, more flammable as well so you can use less tobacco.
*Dark brown almost stone looking thing that gives off a lot of smoke, less pure than grass/skunk.
Comments
Not as bad as Westworld, but there are so many tv shows over the past 3-4 years that have followed a similar pattern. Ozarks, Westworld, Billions, all big budget shows that are piss poor.

I think ozarks season 2 held up well.
Doesn't look like Labour will be winning Coby back anytime soon and if they can't take Corby they can't take Number Ten.
I don’t think the UK has yet reached the level of disdain for London that Americans have for their capital?
You could probably make the case the end of last season surpassed Breaking Bad.
And there will be winners and losers from Brexit, and the losers will be sore for a long time

Incidently, I think the term is plazzy Scouser.

The BBC is increasingly betting its future on its iPlayer streaming service, promising television producers and on-screen stars at an event this week that they could offer greater creative freedom and promotional backing than Netflix and services such as Apple TV, even if they could not compete on funding.

Not just Netflix. By the end of this year there will be Netflix, Apple, Disney+ (and Hulu), HBO, and a host of others.
However up to a point, the Tories can win a majority with the Brexit Party around 10 to 15%, if the Brexit Party are on 15 to 20%+ as they were after May extended then the Tories cannot win a majority
Anyway, don't vape weed.

On Monday morning I leave for Chesapeake Bay.
Don't be mistaken, don't be misled,
We're not Scousers, we're from Birkenhead.
You can #### your cathedrals and your Pier Head
For we're not Scousers, we're from Birkenhead

I feel like the Conservatives did everything they could to push reluctant Brexiteers away from that kind of thinking.
