Simply does square with...
"The election in Warrington South is between the Labour and the Liberal Democrats."
"You know from previous elections that a vote for anyone other than the Liberal Democrats can end up with a Labour MP."
Surely he can’t have been so foolish / brazen?
In reality how many neutral observers will be watching? I’ve gone for Mars on Netflix (On the basis of Ep.1, recommended) and I’m interested in politics.
Had Mike not built a deserved reputation for calling out polling methodology errors, his attempt to justify his letter based upon a low turnout non-general election ballot could have been put down to lack of knowledge.
But we all know it was a deliberate attempt to deceive and he knows better.
Sunil: "Rebecca Long-Bailey, mum. They're saying she's a likely successor to Corbyn."
Mum: "What? Where did they get this bimbo?"
Just to let you know she hasn't slagged off Jo so far this evening
The Tory guy has no presence. Surely not a serious tip this morning.
RLB not doing badly, Swinson and Sturgeon a bit anonymous.
RLB thinking on her feet and responding quite smartly, but looking at her feet the whole time. What’s that all about.
Caroline Lucas clear winner so far.
Now that you've retired from the Commission I'm sure you'll have plenty more time to post . here.
It seems the electorate struggle with more than two choices as well.
Get Brexit Done is getting a right kicking .
An Andrew Neil interview, a question time appearance for an hour and after that individual interviews with whoever they please. The debate tonight isn’t taking us anywhere and wasn’t when Johnson and corbyn copped out. Maybe they could learn from the US how to run these events.
But with the Prime Minister dealing with the aftermath of a terrorist attack and both Corbyn and Johnson suspending campaigning tonight, he couldn’t have rocked up. There were only downsides for him if he had, and he couldn’t have accused Boris of not turning up tonight with any sense of decency.
(a) May ran away from all of these set-pieces, Johnson has done the first head-to-head with Corbyn already and has the second to come; and, more importantly...
(b) In the immediate aftermath of a terrorist atrocity one might consider that the Prime Minister would have more vital things to do than attend a slanging match. If Corbyn were to have changed his mind and rocked up at the last minute then Johnson would not only have been equipped with the perfect excuse for not following suit, but the Tories could plausibly have argued that Corbyn was exploiting the circumstances (in which innocent people have died) to try to score cheap political points off the Prime Minister
Thus Corbyn, having elected to nominate his own substitute too in advance of this debate, was arguably correct not to have committed the volte face that this particular commentator bemoans.
Corrected it for you. I would like to see that.
Even if he hadn’t declined earlier, I know where I would rather the PM was tonight than joining this bun-fight of the pygmies.

Oh and the libdems get grouped with Corbyn.
I mean, the Labour & Tory parties are running extremely duplicitous campaigns themselves.
When you are clean, you have earned the right to comment on other people's dirt. But if you are covered in ordure yourself ... then you should shut up.
