My twitter feed is currently being spammed by both sides telling me how to defeat / support the SNP via tactical voting

I just got a twitter vid of Corbyn asking for donations to Momentum. Confused isn't he meant to be the leader of the Labour party?

DustyDiamond · 30/10/2019 18:59

Interesting Howabout...

Good news that they're being pragmatic if the article is true Epic!

The game is definitely afoot now 🙏

My granny didn't cook Autumn - the best we could hope for was white pudding & oven chips from the freezer or a findus crispy pancake 🙄

Whenever there was a crisis of any kind someone was immediately dispatched to the chippy for fish suppers before any discussion could begin 😂😂

When her & my g'dad got moved to sheltered housing we found loads & loads of empty OVD bottles in various hidey holes 😳😂

Is that the one where he's blowing a horn Walking?!

Walkingdeadfangirl · 30/10/2019 19:20

Dusty it was this one twitter.com/i/status/1189277227537620993

Walkingdeadfangirl · 30/10/2019 19:22

lol, wtf is that one with the horn about, is it a spoof, its weird?

Epicwaffle · 30/10/2019 19:30

“findus crispy pancake 🙄”

Nothing wrong with a findus crispy pancake! 😂
God love those weird little orange things at the back of all 80’s/90’s freezers, that masqueraded as real food. 🙌

Rounded off with some sara lee gateaux. Heaven. 😂

Epicwaffle · 30/10/2019 19:33

That link walking, I got as far as OJ and couldn’t continue, My eyes rolled 360 degrees. Grin

Honestly, it’s like a reflex. 👁 👁

DustyDiamond · 30/10/2019 19:34

Love Sarah Lee gateaux 😍

I've had a look at all the momentum vids now Walking - they're def very good at that sort of thing

The crappy horn one is a newish type of SM thing - they're deliberately made to be shit so that people share them to mock them.

The thinking is that they're reaching an audience they wouldn't typically reach. So when (for eg) a Tory type shares it, other people in their social media bubble might get swayed or look further (whereas they usually wouldn't have seen it otherwise)

Walkingdeadfangirl · 30/10/2019 20:02

Yeah Epicwaffle it is actually hard to watch some of this stuff. Maybe trigger warnings at the start? I hear University students studying Literature are given trigger warnings before reading The Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales. 🥱

Dusty, its almost like Momentum is a lot of middle class unemployed tech savy crusties that spend all their time trolling. But they are good at it.

Hollycatberry · 30/10/2019 20:10

Anyone watch Andrew Neil’s show on BBC2 tonight? Rather exposed some of Jo Swinson’s claims about the impact of Brexit.

Momentum were fined regarding the 2017 election for not registering with electoral commission after exceeding 20k in fundraising. They haven’t registered again for this election and are on twitter trying to raise 50k. Not an upstanding outfit by any means.

DustyDiamond · 30/10/2019 20:50

Just finished watching it now Holly - I don't think anyone comes out of an interview with him looking good 😳

At least he took her to task on the '6% shrink because of Brexit' thing.

The gloves are very much off now - Labour taking a hammering from Lib Dems as well as Tories...

Walkingdeadfangirl · 30/10/2019 21:23

So now Twitter has banned political advertising, what will actually change? They cant stop people posting political videos, memes, gifs etc. So political parties will still get 'individuals' to post political 'adverts'. Twitter just wont get paid for them. Whats the point?

Isn't that what Momentum does? Is Twitter bias?

time4chocolate · 30/10/2019 21:28

Well that's the 1st day down, just another 42 to go🤪!!

Just wondering how many of us live in seat where there’s half a chance of changing the current party?

I certainly don’t - I’m donkey with a blue rosette country

RufusthebewiIderedreindeer · 30/10/2019 21:33

I’m donkey with a blue rosette country

Yep

And it wouldn’t even take anything as cute as a donkey either...

Bearbehind · 30/10/2019 21:36

It is shit isn’t it?

All this talk of ‘taking back control’ yet in reality you can’t even change your MP if you live in the wrong place (or right place depending on your MP / viewpoint)

time4chocolate · 30/10/2019 21:36

Me too Bear been blue since the beginning of time (think Boris may have his eye on it😮).

So true Bearbehind

Epicwaffle · 30/10/2019 21:41

I’m in blue country. And very happy about that right now, because... drum roll please... brexit. GrinGrin

But I know it’s not the same for all.

howabout · 30/10/2019 21:44

Trying to work out all of the election jiggery pokery should keep me busy for the next 6 weeks at least! grin

I have found my tribe Wine

Oh and don't knock Findus crispy pancakes. My go to food of choice when recovering from a dicky tummy. True child of the 70s. Otoh not a big fan of dream topping and the like.

Epicwaffle · 30/10/2019 21:45

By the way Wine for you all Wink.
