I think Jo Swindon has lost it. She believes that she’s going to be Prime Minister. There’s going to be a big pile of washing up and ironing waiting for her on the morning of the 13th. (Only joking of course, there is a very outside chance of her becoming PM, being struck by a meteorite sort of odds)
maybe not this year.
If brexit is not sorted by 2023 then the LD would have a decent run in 2024.

Brexit Party candidate says animal testing should be done on remainers instead

Campaigners have raised the alarm over a Brexit Party General Election candidate’s ‘hateful, dangerous and blatantly racist’ comments on social media. Stoke North parliamentary hopeful Daniel Rudd used the term ‘gimmi-grunts’ on Twitter and says people who move to the UK just ‘take what they can’. He also shared a video purportedly showing Muslims attacking Hindus in another country with the caption ‘Just another day in London.’ The candidate, who says in his Twitter bio that he wants to ‘change politics for good’ also made a comment about stopping animal testing and carrying it out on remainers instead. In another of his posts he also makes a crude sexual remark about members of the LGBTQ community.

It's fascinating how many Mp's are stepping down, Hammond is the latest.
Not a good start Boris, you'll be left with only the second class vermin.

Seems any 'moderate' tory senses they're not welcome - be interesting to see the replacement candidates and how hardcore brexit they're commited .

My local MP Will Quince has seamlessly moved on from sucking up to BJ from TM (even after a detour backing Hunt in leadership contest)

Speaking of whom, we have not heard a lot from JH recently. Has he some dry powder?

Day one of the Insanity
In the Telegraph
"Boris Johnson compares Jeremy Corbyn to Stalin as he launches election campaign

Really? is that the best he can com up with, when his party is owned by Russian Oligarchs?
For example
"In May, Conservatives also received c £20,000 from New Century Media, a lobbying company founded by former Ulster Unionist MP David Burnside that was paid by the Kremlin to promote a “positive image” of Russia in UK in 2013 and has worked for Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash "
And
Former arms tycoon Alexander Temerko is another prominent Russian donor in Tory circles who has given money in the past year. Temerko, who has spoken warmly about his “friend” Boris Johnson. In recent years Temerko has given more than £1.2m
Plus
"By far the largest recent Russian donor has been Lubov Chernukhin. The wife of a former Russian deputy finance minister, Chernukhin has donated more than £450,000 to the Conservatives in the last year and previously paid £160k to play tennis with Johnson and David Cameron "

and that is a very small sample.
Nothing to see here move along :rolleyes:

The Tories are already using really dirty tricks
"
Tories unrepentant over misleadingly edited Keir Starmer TV footage
Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan says Conservative version is unfair

Repeatedly pressing Starmer about his voting preference rather that listening to his points, and resorting to doctoring the video?

Lets see what Labour are trying to say
  1. They promised to seek to respect the Referendum result and seek a better deal
  2. They promised a referendum on the result
  3. The uncertainty comes as to their intentions after that
What is wrong with that? the deal they are likely to get is one that the EU are likely to be keen on as less damaging to both them and us, so why not?
I shall still vote for remain in the Referendum, who cares how the labour Party vote?
What matters is the offer of the Referendum , which after all leave could win.

That's a heck of a lot more democratic than the Tory machinations intended to bring in a no deal drop out in the near future.

It’s just occurred to me that the day our new government is likely to be announced will be Friday the 13th. Halloween Brexit, Friday the 13th government? What’s going on?

You might not realise that 12/12/2019 is a full moon.
And the film Black Christmas is being released on 13/12/2019.
And looking a bit further forward, you can buy tickets to see Five Finger Death Punch at The SSE Arena, Wembley, London on 31/01/2020.

We are having an election love.

Now calm down and wipe those crumbs off your conspiratorial cheeks.

And would it hurt to have a bath sometime this week?

Alun Cairns has gone.

BBC reports:
Mr Johnson also says he is "pleased to hear" that Mr Cairns will co-operate fully in the investigation into the incident.

Anything other than full co-operation should be deemed unacceptable, even criminal, behaviour. When someone takes on a role as senior as a minister, they should lose any vestige of a right to choose whether or not to co-operate fully.
