The Lib Dem candidate in marginal Labour seat Canterbury agreed to stand aside, in a bid to help block Tory Brexit. A glimmer of hope? Lib Dem HQ then announced they will simply field another candidate in his place because all they really want is to stop Corbyn. Bollocks to (preventing) Brexit.

That's how many will see it.

Who actually listens to the Rolling Stones anymore? THEY don't even listen to the Rolling Stones. We've all heard the songs, we get it.

That's brilliant. Let them show everybody how thoroughly idiotic they are. I wonder what support they'll get campaigning in the constituency, given that there are probably loyalties with the candidate who stepped down and the local Labour Party; I doubt that he came to the conclusion to step down all on his own.

This has to send a message out to many not to be duped into voting for the idiots.

That "Cor, blimey, mistah, giz us a Brexit, guvnor" in full.

So they've ripped off the 73 questions Vogue interviews on Youtube (https://youtu.be/D3mmqLVi_QQ).

It's an odd format but maybe recognisable for some viewers and makes Johnson look cosy. I can see why they're doing it for online. But to pay for that to be on the telly as a PPB? Weird.

The backlash amongst Lib Dems and FBPE types online has been pretty furious to the news they're fielding another candidate - many are now scrutinizing Swinson's true intentions.  They could have really shot themselves in the foot with this.

My sense from the twitters is that people are increasingly aware that Swinson is out of her depth.

Please see the twitter rumours I am posting as absolute truth on the Lib Dems thread.

Think they may have fucked the cat on this one.

They need to listen to the public and not be too proud to adapt, like the people behind that Sonic movie trailer.

Why is it that any time I search anything relating to UK politics that the Daily Express article is almost always the top one in the google results? Is this something that just happens for me?



Shoulders?-Stomach!

My idea for a campaign slogan 'Mike Gapes attracts wasps' didn't get picked up by his campaign team then...

imitationleather

Surely using another party's colours isn't allowed?

You're white, black and grey, Gapes! Use them!

Helvetica Scenario

It looks like four other Lib Dem candidates have been approached but all have refused to stand in Canterbury in place of Tim Walker.  The local members are also apparently unwilling to campaign for another candidate.

The Canterbury Lib Dems can't be the only ones feeling like this, surely?

Tories have had to withdraw their candidate for Ynys Môn (Anglesey) - they tried to drop Chris Davies there, who lost his seat after a recall petition after he made criminally fraudulent expense claims.

Yes, unfortunately Mike Gapes is a real person. Sorry.

Ferris

He looks like a Guess Who character, and the word "Labour" is larger than all five (!) words of his actual "party" name. Shambles.

If he wins, I will have serious doubts about democracy.

David Gauke to run as independent candidate, saying a Conservative majority government would be "disastrous for the prosperity of the country".  He's called for Lib Dems to stand aside in his seat.

EDIT: Gauke and Greening have said it will be a bad idea to vote Tory, and Clarke also sounds concerned. Yet much of the media ignore this.
