Uk affairs, The Double Lizzie Crisis (Part 1)

@Tassotti - Its early days yet so we should curtail our excitement, but - the Sunday Times Scottish poll tomorrow shows the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party on course for 12 seats in that part of the United Kingdom. That compares with 11 seats in 1992 and 10 in 1987 and that was from a total of 72, not 59 as nowadays.

Nationwide - Observer has it for the Tories by 25, You Gov Sunday Times by 23. This is massacre territory.

Yeah it appears as though Labour are set for another massacre up north. Scottish unionists coming home to the Conservative and Union Party and the SNP having their hardcore nationalist support. Lefty unionists not motivated under Corbyn’s leadership up there.

Talk today that he won’t stand down even if when the massacre comes in. :grin:

A poll in The Times giving a favourable outlook for the Tories. Well I never.

Must be true.

Do you think that Labour aren’t going to get their hole handed to them? Corbyn and his comrades have gutted that party.

They’re shitting it mate. Any old pre game rhetoric trying to save face.

Yes but Jeremy Corbyn is in the Pretend IRA.

Reduce the risk

The British gutter press are at an all-time low pal.

Constant Tory propaganda being churned out. I choose to ignore it and it amuses me when the Tory boys on here post the sensationalist headlines they print as fact.

Has the wife restored your posting rights?

There’s always the Guardian I suppose

Pure delusion.

Today’s Observer Poll also has Labour on 26 and the Tories on 46.

All polls have been dreadful since he came in. The one off highest for Corbyn was the lowest Miliband ever got. Polling 25-30 across the board has been the norm.

There’s been a relentless attack on Corbyn from the gutter right wing press and the BBC since he took charge of Labour. It is a subversion of democracy.

Do you hate democracy Tim?

Polls eh? I thought they weren’t to be trusted any more?

There was a relentless attack on Miliband as well, but the numbers don’t lie, the polls showed his popularity.

Some of the more rationale Corbyn supporters saw this. Owen Jones, who was the leading newspaper and online cheerleader for Corbyn getting the leadership was calling his leadership into question after a year. He was branded immediately by the echo chamber.

The BBC is redder than the Kremlin FFS

Agree. BBC news is utter drivel. I actually find Al Jazeera, and the Russian one better news channels. The entire BBC news is read like a Kay burley tweet.

That’s what the lunatics in the Daily Mail comments section believe, but the reality is very different.

The right wing press generally despise the BBC because of vast advertising revenues they lose to them every year. But the BBC is and always has been an arm of the political establishment. It generally supports government policy regardless of who’s in charge. It does show the power of the Murdoch empire though, for right wingers to so mindlessly parrot the mantra regardless of how wrong it is.
