General Election, December 2019

[Nefertiti2]

or they tell us what is entirely untrue. contradicting what the official spokesperson is saying- also off the record

[Nefertiti2]

In the mean time those who go on the record- as Johnson doesn't - face calumnies and insinuations

"Nicky Morgan has resigned" - news
"Nicky Morgan has sent a resignation letter citing x and y" - news
"I understand Nicky Morgan's resignation was for personal reasons" - spin

Note, not LK's spin, but an endorsement of NM's spin.

Hang on. So it's Morgan spinning and LK repeating it. I'm not sure that's the way others seem to be reporting it, but anyway.

"Nicky Morgan has resigned" - news
"Nicky Morgan has sent a resignation letter citing x and y" - news
"I understand Nicky Morgan's resignation was for x and y" - spin

I don't get it. If the accusation was for stating the bleedin' obvious I'd agree.

Weren't the Cameroons referred to as the Notting Hill set?

[Nefertiti2]

Not in a direct question when launching his manifesto, no.

Well, it was more of a rhetorical answer to jean claude (van) denton but OK.

If you think that was a calumny and insinuation rather than a slightly silly thing to say that Corbyn found easy to bat away, and even build upon a bit, then you must be a bit worried that it came from the Mirror.

Boris Johnson being taken to hospitals where no member of the public can ask questions. and the press ask soft questions

[Nefertiti2]

There is a repeated attempt to frame Corbyn as irrelevant, and unpopular without any focus on his policies.

See also "will he resign if Labour lose" which has been dominating questions today

meanwhile Johnson faces no difficult questions at all and helpful selective steers which Kuennsberg and co know to be untrue but pass on regardless

[Nefertiti2]

Will the boos Johnson got or his running away be featured on the BBC?

Prosaic question: What date is this parliament dissolved?

[Diable Rouge]

Next Wednesday, so the 6th of November.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Cheers.

Nicky Morgan's statement is odd. If she thinks Parliament is not respecting the people's wishes, wouldn't the logical step be to participate in an election which changes the Commons' balance of power in favour of Leave?

More likely is that she jumped before being deselected, as did the other (former or current) Remainers.

She's now in favour of the UK leaving the EU so I think she was unhappy at Parliament blocking the WB, or at least that's how I interpreted her remarks.

[Satchmo Distel]

I agree, but, as per my post, she had an opportunity to campaign to reverse that which she has chosen to forego, unless she was anticipating being pushed out.

[Patrick Thistle]

I doubt Johnson will dare cross the Severn but if he came to my hospital I'd definitely want to see him.


With a half brick in my hand.

Trump endorses Johnson and Farage

I still can't see the Tories getting a majority from this. They should have gone for a shorter campaign, the longer things go on the more Johnson is exposed as being a shit campaigner, the more the policy vacuum is exposed. It's 2017 all over again. He might have bullshit charisma compared to May, but that seems to melt when he has to veer from his tousle haired absent minded script.

Liddle is just Taki with messy hair. Fraser Fraser would doubtless defend his shite as being Robust Humour. I wonder if the abusive cowardly drunk still lurks on Otf?

[Lang Spoon]

I'm surprised he doesn't refer to 'Moslems' or 'Mussulmen'.

[Patrick Thistle]

I'm surprised he doesn't refer to 'Moslems' or 'Mussulmen'.

Or Mohamedans

[Snake Plissken]

Some tidying and removal of posts has occurred and a ban handed out.

[Patrick Thistle]

Permanent ban?

[Snake Plissken]

An option.
