Even the oldies are now giving Johnson negative ratings – politicalbetting.com

One of the features of Boris Johnson’s approval ratings over the last few months is that however bad it has got with younger voters he has been in positive territory amongst the oldies. That has now come to an end.

#ToryRapist
Trending with REDACTED
LOL
Edit: though they love the traffic and being the uncensored source for this kind of stuff, I guess. Very damaging though, potentially. Anyone could be wrongly named and it could go crazy very fast.
Missed most of the discussion of old railways on the last thread. It had never occurred to me that the 19th century Haytor Tramway on Dartmoor, built of granite like a giant Brio set, which I mwentioned the other week, had such respectably antiquarian antecedents.
Grauniad. Lol.
Twitter is such a cesspit!
They've got the #ToryRapist tried and convicted based on nothing other the fact he's a Tory and if REDACTED is the same name that was trending last night it seems he's entirely innocent and has been libeled by hundreds, maybe thousands of people...
Story today by @jessicaelgot: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/may/17/va-at-centre-of-row-over-auction-of-private-tour-as-prize-at-tory-fundraising-event
Edit: could be readers of impeccably Tory, hang and flog em, newspapers.
And we cant'; check as the DM has switched comments off on the story.
"Let's get out there and commit some serious crime."
In a statement, the V&A said: “The V&A understands that a short tour of the museum with Nicholas Coleridge was offered at auction at the spring lunch. No V&A staff or resources were involved and no special access to the museum was offered. We understand that neither Ben Elliot or Nicholas Coleridge attended the event.”
A Conservative party spokesman said that the event had been arranged by Women2Win, which campaigns to elect more Conservative women. “This was not a Conservative party event and Ben Elliot had no involvement in it.”
BTW have you seen these re Mr Fraser's favoured fitba team. and his former colleague Prof T?

Or are you indulging in the sort of speculative hyperbole you're purporting to condemn ?
The fact even now over 65s still prefer Johnson's Tories to Starmer Labour by a 27% margin shows how Starmer is still nowhere near the same sense of momentum Blair had going into the 1997 general election

Minister: Rachel Maclean's word were mischaracterised.
Kay: How?
Minister: I didn't see the interview.
Here's what @trussliz had to say when we asked her to comment on her colleague's words from earlier this week...
Edit: as would the case be for any political organization. Even fundraising for another charity is a bit iffy.
Unfortunately the 'gotcha' media loves to mischaracterise what people of all parties have to say, and that applies yes to Labour politicians as much as Tory ones too, and Kay Burley is one of the worst for it. You don't need to have seen the interview if as Truss goes on to say she knows the person to believe that the words are being mischaracterised.
My Twitter browsing is clearly somewhat selective.
If it was Salmond who was being mischaracterised you'd be saying so straight away.
Burley is infamous for it. We all know it, regardless of partisan politics.
It's like linking to a Daily Mail reference; a week later an invite arrives to become associated in some way with the Conservative party.
The latter has been forgotten about, the former has not.
Mr T's honesty on that particular aspect is to be commended and probably reflects the true position of lots of Unionists. Their paradoxical position of claiming any indy ref would inevitably be won for the Union while doing everything in their power to prevent one can only be sustained for so long without folk pointing and laughing at them. In fact I've already started..
Just not as visible these days.
However: it would be very convenient for Boeing and the US to say the pilot caused it, rather than mechanical failure, and such excuses are somewhat controversial - it is easy to blame a dead pilot.
It'll be interesting to know what the CVR shows.
When was the last time you saw a prominent Free Tibet protest?
That’s an innovative marketing device: restricting your potential readership to 6 people, most of them closely related to the editor
Pretty effective unpersoning, then...
Shortly after that, it was against the NUS themselves, for being so far up Blair’s arse that they were in favour of tuition fees.
Here's a non-paywall version: https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/18/chinese-eastern-airlines-plane-likely-crashed-deliberately-16664897/
I never know what to do in these situations. You see it constantly with ducks. Basically all they do is quack and rape
Does one intervene, or politely look away?

He has moved to a position of accepting PRC rule, and a focus on better conditions.
Free Tibet is an independence movement.
No Dalai Lama = no support.
The Times has a proper firewall so I don't link to things there.
FT articles can be read if they are linked to on twitter or if you hit google and search for the headline..
Or a large scale prominent protest led by students without any connections to Tibet, like you still see with Palestine?
The latter seems to have completely died off. We seem in the past quarter of a century to have moved from concerns over Tian'an'men Square, Tibet, Hong Kong and now to the Uighurs. There's a common thread there, but nothing remains forefront like Palestine has.
It’s like the she cat is Ukraine, the tomcat is Russia, and the Germans are, well, the Germans.
He is literally the living emanation of the Buddha's wisdom.
That doesn't mean Tibetans are a monolith, but it's difficult to sustain a movement when the undisputed leader disagrees with the cause.
Cats are 'stimulated ovulators' which means the tom has some vicous barbs on the end of his todger, the action of which causes the egg to be released. Cat sex normally starts with the queen asking for it and ends with her beating up the tom. Even it she wanted it at the start (which is normally the case) she probably isn't enjoying it.
Nature isn't fair unfortunately.
