Part of email from Austin back in 2017:

The vote to leave the EU was a real shock. I sent out thousands of surveys, held dozens of community meetings and spoke to hundreds of residents about the EU in the years leading up to the vote to discuss the concerns of local people and set out fair and reasonable ways of addressing them that are in line with Labour values and consistent with our continued membership of the EU.

That said, there was a decisive result to the referendum, even if it was very close. We all accepted the rules and knew that a Leave vote meant leaving the European Union, and as a democratic member of a democratic party I think the result has to be upheld.

When it became clear that there would be a vote in advance of triggering Article 50, I was pretty certain that I would have no choice to support it despite my own personal disappointment. It is an important democratic principle that politicians must not stand in the way of the outcome of a referendum,

SNP put up what appears to be a woman with no experience and a weak CV to contest against Jo Swinson in my constituency. Electoral pact or tacit admission that SNP have run out of candidates....

Lib Dem leaflet falsely attributes pro-Lib Dem quote to the Guardian: https://fullfact.org/news/lib-dem-leaflet-false-quote/

[Fambo Number Mive]

Be worth someone doing a table of all Lib Dem MPs who were MPs during the coalition and how they voted on welfare, the environment etc.

How Swinson can campaign on mental health when the austerity she supported directly impacted people like me with mental ill health I do not know.

[BlodwynPig]

I can take a guess

[idunnosomename]

Just realised they have to go into coalition because they could call it the BoJo parliament

Why on earth would the SNP enter into an electoral pact with the LibDems, particularly as there seems little realistic prospect of the Tories winning the constituency? I was slightly surprised by the choice of candidate, but they had a very experienced and high-ish profile figure before in John Nicolson, and he seemed to be pretty divisive.  The SNP seem to be going for the young, local person who actually lives in the constituency approach, which has worked for them elsewhere.  I expect Swinson to retain the seat, mind you, though it'd be great to see her ousted.

ANTISEMITISM

[idunnosomename]

Its basically blood libel.

It's not like it's been a secret or some conspiracy theory...

'Donald Trump is ready to use trade talks to force the National Health Service to pay more for its drugs as part of his scheme to "put American patients first".

Mr Trump has claimed that the high costs faced by US patients are a direct result of other countries' health services "freeloading" at America's expense.

Alex Azar, the US Health and Human Services Secretary, has said Washington will use its muscle to push up drug prices abroad, to lower the cost paid by patients in the United States.

"On the foreign side, we need to, through our trade negotiations and agreements, pressure them," Azar said on CNBC.

"And so we pay less, they pay more. It shouldn't be a one-way ratchet. We all have some skin in this game."

He continued: "The reason why they are getting better net prices than we get is their socialised system."

What a complete negation of all that is good and human is that fucking man.

So, come on dummies, what do you need to do (by that logic) if you want lower drug prices?  Yeah?

They don't want lower drug prices. They want everyone else to pay more. It's Bernie Sanders that's thinking like you...

[Buelligan]

Deary me, yes.  I appreciate that.  Nevertheless kicking a ball so hard right into your own goal, well, that's foolish.

[Dr Rock]

Depends what your goal is.

[Dr Rock]

If this keeps coming up and 'journalists' doubt Labour's claims, just whip out this news report and see how they can argue with it.

ANTISEMITISM

[Buelligan]

Depends what your goal is.

I'd assume that the (a) goal of Alex Azar, the US Health and Human Services Secretary, would be to trumpet loud and clear that a socialised healthcare system is not a good thing.

[Dr Rock]

(because it stops us making so much money from our sick people)

[Buelligan]

Yes.  So saying that the reason the bastid forrins get cheap drugs is because their systems are socialised is a stupid thing for him to say.

[olliebean]

Lib Dem leaflet falsely attributes pro-Lib Dem quote to the Guardian: https://fullfact.org/news/lib-dem-leaflet-false-quote/

Yes, and it's since turned out the quote attributed to Sky News was actually a Swinson quote as well.

[Blumf]

Yes.  So saying that the reason the bastid forrins get cheap drugs is because their systems are socialised is a stupid thing for him to say.

Also worth noting that it's a further step along his anti-free-trade stance, which isn't exactly a good thing for the capitalists either.

[Buelligan]

He's a mad man.  I'm going to troll him online after Labour wins.

[Dr Rock]

Yes, and it's since turned out the quote attributed to Sky News was actually a Swinson quote as well.

And the quote 'Simply The Best' attributed to The Observer was actually taken from an advert for a Tina Turner compilation advertised in the free magazine.

[Ferris]

So, come on dummies, what do you need to do (by that logic) if you want lower drug prices?  Yeah?

Yeah that stood out to me and all. Madness.

I thought the song title came before the advert?

[Paul Calf]

The Tories are going to cheat, aren't they?
