Westminstenders: Massive Rightwing Plot?

[RedToothBrush]

Tonight 10pm

YouGov MRP.

First big poll

Rumour is that it shows a big tory majority.

This would fit with two MRP polls that are already out if accurate.

Datapraxis is suggesting a Tory majority of 48.

Best for Britain (Pro remain) is suggesting a majority of 57.

What is MRP and can it predict the result of the UK general election?

It stands for multi-level regression and post-stratification. Its a polling method which uses demographic data to work out how people will vote. YouGov used it to accurately predict the 2017 result and the method was used to predict the 2016 US election.

I haven't seen anyone posting this. Apologies if you have.

Watch:

Boris Johnson’s father has just insulted the British working class to a level not witnessed on television for decades. This family don’t just hold the working class in contempt, they despise us.

‘They couldn’t spell Pinocchio if they tried’

@StanleyPJohnson
replying to a viewer’s comment that called his son Pinocchio.

Corbyn, Labour MPs and their supporters in their media appearances need to hammer home the quotes from Boris on single mothers and the working class.

Just hopefully the more Stanley is wheeled out the more damage he will do.

What next? Javid’s granny?

The riposte to Stanley is that we think it is even more amazing and shocking that we have a Prime Minister that is a proven liar - not just from before he was PM (being sacked for lying) but also while he's been PM.

"There's no press here" while gesticulating to the invited press cameras is one of the more innocuous examples.

Pinokeeo.

I still recognise one when I see or hear one.

What the fans of the new Conservative party never address is why union funding is bad but unlimited funds from Putin's friends is ok!

Ah, I remember the days when I was active in the local Peace Group, back in the 1980s. We were constantly accused of receiving Russian money, despite the fact that our Treasurer said he could never identify any. But now it's going to the right sort, i.e. Old Etonions then it's absolutely Fiiiine

Is anyone watching the news on BBC1?

Conservative campaign, with someone from Labour leave standing alongside Boris telling Labour voters to vote for him if they want Brexit.

Sorry, it was on BBC2, not 1, but had finished on 2, it's still on BBC News though.

It's been on since about 11.20am ish though and has just finished. Might be on catch up for those interested?

I watched it Verylucky2, Boris was a gurning mess.

Which Labour leaver have they rolled out now?

Just in...

BBC sources say they have refused the Conservatives' offer to put the prime minister on Andrew Marr this Sunday until he agrees a date for the Andrew Neil interview.

BBC are feeling the shift in public opinion maybe?

The billionaire owner of the Daily Mail, the Viscount Rothermere, has bought
@theipaper
.

Two billionaire press barons now own half of the top 10 daily newspapers.

Remember this when they attack Labour's plan to make the super-rich pay their fair share.

After today's appearances Boris might be very relieved not to go on Marr, I think the BBC should let him, we need to see him under scrutiny.

One of the key factors in Brexit: The Enquiry 10 years hence will be that never again can so few rich men own so much of the media.

More like 20 years to be fair.

‘They couldn’t spell Pinocchio if they tried’

Looks as though the guy who sent in the email didn't get the spelling correct after all - he tweeted;

"Sorry I didn't spell Pinocchio correctly and I am frustrated and I'm sorry and annoyed with myself because I checked it. So sorry once again. But the spelling wasn't too wrong because Joanna still read it out. But in my defense [sic] Boris Pinocchio Johnson wouldn't spell Pinocchio."

No wonder he dodged Neil, that LBC interview was awful. Especially the throat cutting gesture.
