Oh ive seen plenty of heroes getting the VIP treatment whilst us slaves are sneered and spat upon

I think its a real problem. Not the individual's fault generally of course, just fetishists

[Dr Rock]

It's not the 'dementia tax' but I think it might be a negative. It's just a cheap gimmick, while Labour are offering big ideas. Thinking of a floating voter and what might them pick a side.

The number of NHS patients having surgery in private hospitals has nearly trebled since 2010, sparking accusations that for-profit companies are benefitting from an "enfeebled" health system under the Conservatives.

NHS figures obtained by the Guardian show that it paid for 214,967 people in England to have an operation in a private hospital in 2009-10, Labour's last year in power. The figure soared to 613,833 last year, a 185% rise in nine years.

The figures come as NHS trusts are increasingly forced to send patients to for private surgery because they are too busy and understaffed to do the operations themselves. The sharp rise in outsourcing has coincided with the waiting-list for non-urgent operations ballooning to 4.6m, the highest figure since records began in 2007...

Greens have stood aside in IDS' constituency. Good chance he'll get ousted.

Also, Manchester Momentum descended en masse in Newcastle-under-Lyme, another Brexit marginal, today. Heard lots of negatives about 'normal' Momentum but the Manchester one is fucking great. They're heading over here in the next couple of weeks too.

Latest polling suggest Labour are about 10-12 points behind the Tories. So what was the situation in 2017 at this point?

The Tories hold a 15-point lead over Labour with less than four weeks to go to the general election on 8 June, according to the latest Opinium/Observer poll.

So we seem to be doing better at this stage. That is all.

And in 2017 there was no head-to-head debate between Corbyn and May.  I think that'll make all the difference.


Question:  will the leaders have earpieces so their advisors can bombard them with useful information, or will they be alone up there?

I'm hoping something will. I guess when the manifestos come out, that's the point where the campaigns on the ground and in the media will meet, and there's a chance of getting the waverers to come back in.

I think we also need a dementia tax moment. God knows what it will be though.

No correlation. You cannot make that argument unless we live in a simulation

Tory telephone canvasser said to my Dad yesterday - could you vote for a Marxist?

Criminal. Ask him "do you know what a Marxist is?"

"um...err....ummm...bad per.."

"Someone who will defenestrate you if you don't buck up your game, laddy"

Convinced my mum to vote Labour and not Lib Dem, weirdly by emphasising the shitness of the Labour candidate. Good thing I had this conversation before they announced the gamechanging Skills Wallet policy, which is definitely a brilliant idea that will capture the public's attention, and not at all laughably stupid.

This is pretty big I think, and Labour should reciprocate where appropriate. It just shows what a fucking shit show the Lib Dems are for not doing likewise. If they actually cared about getting the Tories out and stopping Brexit they would

[jobotic]

Do you get an actual wallet?

Had a big night out with old friends and had a debate with one, who has always been a left-wing Labour voter. He still is a Labour voter at heart although reckons he'll vote LD where he lives as they are the only Tory challengers. Okay fair enough, vote for who you like.

The thing that got me was that he was incredulous when I suggested that the Lib Dems are looking to get in a coalition with the Tories and would happily ditch their remain stance to do it (which is only a trick to attract Labour remainers). It would destroy them you see. And I am too cynical (me, not Swinson). Bit depressing really.

Very sad to see four massive posters of the local Tory MP go up on the roundabout by my estate on Friday. Hatching plans to go up there and deface them (hard left hate crime), but I needn't have bothered as they were all gone by Sunday morning.

You would like to think our hard left thug allies would rally around a computer in each constituency and knock something up for use on large municipal buildings which subtly imply that the Tory candidate may be a dog shagging fucking wanker.

Hang on, Johnson was weaving about and put the wreath upside down by the cenotaph yesterday, so the BBC used footage from 2016 instead?

FFS.

That is dodgy as fuck. It is a small thing in terms of what it shows but massive in terms of what it implies the BBC's thought processes are. Something like "that makes Boris look bad. Better find some better footage"
