True Jip very true, have also seen twitter polls predicting the oncoming landslide. Corb also clearly has the ability to win over Tories given even you're voting Labour! Evidence seems clear.
In my little London media bubble I don't know a single person voting Tory tbh. I do believe it won't be the extent of landslide many are expecting.
 
Momentum must be with Labour while fair coverage guidelines are in force for broadcasters during GE.
 
Was reading some political commentary on Telegraph.co.uk and they are just trashing Corbyn!!! Obviously, there is some sporadic statements based on truth or at least honest assumptions, but it is just a hit job on him. Does Corbyn has any support in the media? I thought Guardian was favorable to him once, but it seems they are resigned to Labour losing the election. But why does Telegraph so anti Corbyn? Is it because of their support for Brexit? I mean, despite Labour support, Corbyn wasn't a big fan of Remain and even alienated some of his younger base by generally agreeing to 'Brexit is Brexit' after the vote? Unbelievable. At the end of the day, Corbyn is a honest man. Yes, he's a bit all over the place, but who isn't? Telegraph = cnuts

Why is the Torygraph against twitter? I wonder.

Telegraph, Mail, Sun, Express - massive Tories.
 
The Telegraph is for people who believe everything in the Daily Mail but are to embarrassed to buy it. Also after the HSBC scandal I'm not sure why anyone would listen to them.

I used to read the back pages of the Telegraph years ago. They had the best reports on cricket. Don't know if that's still true.

Yeah non news stuff they are alright. I quite like some the film writing (Last time I checked even the football stuff was pretty decent :nervous:).
 
One labour policy in the leaked manifesto that has, unsurprisingly gone completely unreported, was the pledge to implement the leveson recommendations in full in the first session of parliament.

That is why the press have seemingly gone insane over a center left, rather mild mannered bloke who apparently has no chance of winning anything.
 
The Mail and Sun being massive Tories always gets me when their target audience is almost exclusively (not even) working class.

Neither are fit to be toilet paper either.
 
:lol:BBC typo.

Let's wait for John "bombs and bullets" McDonnell to arbitrate.
 
Sorry, I don't read Telegraph all that much and I don't live in the UK. I didn't know Telegraph supported Tories. I thought they were just pro Brexit

I thought Scotland wanted to leave the UK because it wasn't socialist enough?

So why, when there is finally a socialist candidate to vote for, are more than 80% apparently going to vote against him?

They are simply ensuring control for the incompetent May and her pretty damn far right backers.

Well no. If the SNP + Labour made up more than 50% of the house of commons, they would find away to keep the tories out. It doesn't really make a difference if they elect a Labour MP or a SNP one, if all you care about is keeping the Tories out (or Socialism in)
 
Five press releases from the Conservatives today, four yesterday. They're boring every journo to death with the incessant barrage to their inboxes.
 
Scotland's to the left of England but I'm thinking more these days that independence is driven by identity more than anything. Labour frittered that away over the years whilst the SNP were obviously able to embrace it fully. The counter to this is now seen with the gaining of the Tories, who are far less on the fence than Labour on their unionism and British identity. So that's something I don't blame Corbyn for, he's basically just continued a longstanding trend (though his utterly abominable favourable ratings up there are probably making it easier for unionists to decide).

Strong and stable.
