Brexit Arms Festive Special. Will the Grinch steal christmas? Could it be ‘Christmas with the Kranks?’ Or will we end up with a ‘Blue’ Christmas after all?...🤷🏻‍♀️🎄

[EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit]

First off, comrade Hilda has been busy in the propaganda dept! Praise be to Hilda! The dear leader will appreciate and reward your efforts with a cushy job in the newly opened Ministry of Bullshit. ✊🥀

•Festive Glazed Gammons.

DON’T BE A TWAT.

“Also tells you how much to the Left the Tories have travelled from Cameron to Boris.”

Well, that’s not what I’ve heard. I’ve heard they are full on Hard Right. A mere whisker away from the BNP. Do you mean that what I have been told is incorrect? Do I need to re-educate my re-education? 🥀😔

Some while ago, Howabout, I read an article about a professor of politics who devised software into which key words and phrases of all party manifestos over the last fifty years were keyed in and given an overall rating on the left/right spectrum. Think I've mentioned this before.

The biggest gap - in fact, a great gaping chasm's worth - was between Neil Kinnock and Margaret Thatcher. Not a surprise to anyone, I think. What shocked me, however, was that Tony Blair was to the right of John Major (which explains 1997, and also the anti-Blairism rampant in the Labour Party today) and still to the right of Theresa May. In the meantime, Jezza is so far off to the left, he's practically on the next planet and makes Neil Kinnock look like the epitome of moderation.

The analysis predates Boris Johnson's leadership of the party but given his manifesto promises, he is probably occupying the political space previously staked out by Tony Blair in 1997.

Bit of a ramble, but I hope it makes sense. I wish I could remember where I found that information but I can't.

Anyone else having a quiet chuckle about the swarm of Human Bees, currently glued to Swinsons Battle Bus? No particularly grown up reason on my part. Just induced a bit of a childish snort in me...

I mean, to be fair to her. The bus is electric!
😂😂😂 what is going on in this crazy world. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

A grown man dressed up as a bumblebee accuses Head Girl Jo of "being a little bit patronising"???

Head Girl Jo patronises everyone. She is an equal-opportunities patroniser. You have achieved Bee Equality, chuck.

I hope the superglue doesn't contain any non-biodegradable material.

I actually feel sorry for her, having to stand there and talk to them 🐝

So good this needs posting again Hate

Now I know where Dizzee got his inspiration for my favourite party track.

Head Girl Jo brings out the stingers in the best of us.

I've read comment on Blair being to the Right of Thatcher before and I agree. The problem for Labour and the LibDems is that their inherent hostility to the "traditional family values" almost inevitably makes them anti-women and anti-children.

The current thinking is to separate social and economic liberalism. However I would argue that being socially liberal drives economic conservatism - see Blair, Cameron, Clegg, May and now economically illiterate smoke and mirrors nonsense from Swinson, Lucas and Corbyn.

Time to crowbar in my favourite Maths blog poster.

Why multiplying both sides by negative 10 doesn't resolve inequality.

Apparently Trump has now stormed off in a huff from the NATO summit.

“Apparently Trump has now stormed off in a huff from the NATO summit.”

😂😂😂😂 good. The less this Eejit speaks on UK soil currently, the better.

To be fair, regardless of his other Childish Nonsense , he’s not wrong that all participating countries should be paying the same required contribution to NATO.

epic I agree with you / him that if the agreement is 2% per country in subs then 2% should be paid in. So yes he has a point. However I am with you that the sooner he gets away from the UK the better (although that won't stop his fat fingers on the old Twitter from Air Force One)!

“fat fingers on the old Twitter from Air Force One”

God, I dread to think... 🙈

I'm less concerned about fat fingers on the old Twitter than fat fingers on the security codes and "the football"

A poll conducted by Queen Mary University on London voting preferences and compared with a similar poll they conducted just before the 2017 snap election, shows the following:

"Key findings include:
• Labour is on 47 per cent in the capital, up eight points from November but down from the huge 54.5 per cent vote Mr Corbyn’s party achieved in 2017.
• Boris Johnson’s Conservatives are up a point to 30 per cent, which is still below their 33 per cent share in 2017.
• Jo Swinson’s Liberal Democrats are squeezed to 15 per cent, losing four points in a month. The share is well above the 8.8 per cent they scored in 2017, keeping alive the party’s hopes of making one or more gains, but the squeeze will ease Labour worries of a Lib Dem surge threatening its strongholds.
• Sian Berry’s Greens are also suffering a squeeze, down one point to four per cent.
• Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party has almost evaporated as a significant force in London, down three points to just three per cent.
On a uniform swing, the findings imply that the Conservatives could take Battersea and Kensington from Labour, while Lib Dems would topple Tory minister Zac Goldsmith at Richmond Park. "
Battersea is held by Marsha de Cordova (majority c. 2500) and Kensington by Emma Dent Coad (majority 20).

Two Labour constituencies in exchange for Zac Goldsmith who has expressed some decidedly odd views? Seems a fair swap.

This is interesting findings - I live in one of those constituencies but the electoral calculus findings do not support that research...I would dearly love the Momentum candidate out.

She might start getting ‘squeezed a bit more’.

Breaking News

I’m going to defend Corbyn here... 😱 Who in the almighty fuck, gives two shits if he watches the queens speech or not? Why on earth have the media run away with this???? There is far more evidence and very negative info out there about the man, his ideologies and his associates. No need to drag him over the coals for something that less than 1 mil people in the UK even watch on Xmas day. How ridiculous, it just cheapens the whole debate. 🙄

Proof, that this has all gone on far too long now. Roll on the election, silly season needs to draw to a close now. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Interesting QMU research. Given Conservatives are still below 2017 I wonder if a further squeeze on the LibDems would actually benefit them rather than Labour in London?

(I marked down Kensington at least as going back Conservative and Richmond going LibDem but have been struggling to see where anything else would move even with LibDem resurgence - not much in London is 2 way marginal. Just had a look at Battersea and looks plausible).

I might be more inclined to take her seriously if she could persuade whoever is handling her Twitter feed to proofread it for grammar and syntax. But yes, that one will only win votes from a fairly small sub-set of the population, and will almost certainly antagonise a much larger number.

Epic given The Queen's little local difficulty atm I think admitting to not watching actually benefits Corbyn certainly among his target voters who are more wedded to watching Juncker et al.

Epic
I don't think it's that he doesn't watch the Queen's Speech that is a problem, it's the fact that he obviously lied about it - unless she does a special run-through for him on Christmas Day morning!
