BBC Radio 5live now discussing Captain Ska's "Liar liar" song and played a tiny bit of it.
General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
This was the one they didn't throw out, but its interesting for a couple of reasons.
First its not just the MP, its the woman from central office. She was also involved in the other campaigns that were under investigation because she ran the battle bus. So we are to believe that what she was doing potentially broke the law here but not anywhere else apparently.
Secondly, the guy who co-wrote mays manifesto and her chief advisor, Timothy, was involved in thanet a lot. Theres a famous video of Michael Crick chasing him up thanet high street during the campaign.
It's certainly catchy.
If there is a God he wants Corbyn to win
Banana republic here we come! A bit bent - who cares. Disregard for the democratic process - not that exciting.
Labour on 40 (40!)
It's not exciting, but certainly begins to show a pattern.
That begins to raise eyebrows for sure, I'll keep an eye on this.
Marion Little received an OBE in 2015 for political services. The modern Conservative party ladies and gentlemen.

We must have similar twitter feeds, was about to post that ya bastard haha.
How on Earth Labour is getting this figure despite Scotland voting SNP is beyond me.
And he should say no because he believes it, not just because it hurts his image if he doesn't. I'm sorry, I don't care what your religious beliefs tell you; thinking that being gay is a sin in this day and age is pathetic.
Bienkov is worth following tbf
Aye, it's very draconian. I'm all for liberals being able to have converging views on certain matters, even on ones wherein there's a generally accepted line of thought, but I'm going to struggle to take anyone seriously who is talking about concepts like 'sin'. It's all well and good for Farron to say he's pro-LGBT, but there's nothing more annoying than a religious type who says they 'accept,' homosexuality while sort of still semi-condemning it on the sidelines.
ELI5 what it means that the NHS has a deficit.
Even with government funding and fees, they are nearly £1bn in the red each year?
As long as we get a hung parliament, I'm happy.
Hubris will be her undoing.

They've probably gained in Scotland a tad - remember some polls had them hitting around the 15 mark or so. My suspicion is they're reaching the mid-20s, and about even with the Tories now, while the SNP are between 40-45.
They've also made significant gains in Wales and are ahead again. Just need to hope the gains they're making are actually at the expense of the Tories, and not in safe seats they've already got wrapped up anyway.
Yup, so they're under funding the NHS. Which I must admit is a genuine surprise for me... (sarcasm).
Ill-informed me reckons the polls on Monday/Tuesday are the ones that'll tell us things. Will account for the debate and QT (my feeling is a fair few people might actually watch tonight, compared to the debate).
Is corbyn peaking at just the right time ?
This election sure is getting interesting. May exposes herself the long the campaign goes on more and more.

That poll still results in a good majority for the Tories though 
Yeah it's sickening isn't it. Saw a leak today that shows Labour have only contacted 1 person in Moray, Angus Robertson's seat, so that the Tories have a free run at him. You can't vote Labour in Scotland with Dugdale in charge. It's really unbelievable.
All of his hot air won't do the ice caps any favours, nor will pointless letters aid the amazon i imagine.
A few billion of which is the NHS' ongoing contribution to PFI debt. Moreover, Labour in 2015 offered one-third of the either the Tories or Lib Dems for healthcare spending. Even in this instance, Corbyn and his money tree fall short of meeting the current demands of the system.
Aye, every time I think of voting for Corbyn's Labour and then see something like that I'm put right off. Can understand prioritising seats; that's fair enough, but actively not campaigning so that the Tories beat out the SNP is poor stuff.
Wonder if the Tories and Lib Dems are taking the same approach in my area.
No, but it would demonstrate a spine. May's refusal to condemn Trump is telling. And her own record on climate change legislation is quite poor as well; would much rather have someone in charge who recognises it as an important issue and treats it as such.
Any nerdy sort know when the last time the main two shared 85% of the vote?
I find it hard to believe.

1970 looks like the last time it was so dominated by two parties. Which is funny considering 2015 looked like it was ushering in a new era of multi-party politics to an extent.
Tories winning in scotland?
They're not going to win overall but they'll up their seat total, and there's a few that are very, very close. Robertson's seat is a big one. Perth, Stirling and other areas of Aberdeenshire are also targets. As are some areas in Edinburgh. In a lot of these places it'll be tight and it'd piss me off big time if Labour are preferring the idea of a Tory getting in to someone from the SNP, when the latter increases their chance of government.
They are going to nab 6-12 seats, always thought we were somewhat immune up here. Not the case however.Tories winning in scotland?
Live a little, go for the crazy radical left wing option. How do you know you won't like it if you don't try it?
This Mori one is bigger to me than the YouGov ones
Also what the feck is up the Lib Dems
bunch of cnuts.
bunch of cnuts.
It makes the YouGov one (and their somewhat novel methodology) a lot less of an outlier
10 point loss in two weeks. 5 point lead, one week to go.
