Can someone post the image separately, can't seem to view it beyond the blurred embed, doesn't load in Twitter. Thanks.

I don't get how its lovable. This guy runs the country when he seems to be dithering I see that as incompetence.
I'm willing to bet Boris' background isn't why this guy is voting for him.
its racism and stupid misinformed fishing stuffThe most charitable reading of Ashworth is that he's a complete fucking moron for running his mouth to a Tory and not expecting it to blow up in his face.

so a photo appears of a young child on the floor of a hospital. Bad look for the Conservatives
Load of bullshit defense force nonsense starts up accusing it of being fake for political points scoring.
turns out to be not fake and the attacks potentially backfiring on the tories. This could snowball - the original was bad enough.
BBC: Quick lets focus on a random comment from a Labour politician about Corbyn to distract people
Ed Davey is having a shocker on Politics Live right now saying the Lib Dems won't back anyone to form a government.
Hardly a random comment from a random politician though is it?
Anyway, he was on Politics Live and came across a bit better. His argument was that he was parroting Tory attack lines back to his friend to lull him into a false sense of security. Which still didn't make much sense, but he's playing it down as "I've been a bit silly" and seems to be doing a lot of media today.
fwiw, the broadcasters don't seem to have sidestepped away from the hospital story at all - but it would be incredibly odd for this story to not be highlighted two days before an election....
That interview was fucking bizarre lol - found myself laughing at the end of it, it was just odd...
I still marvel at how oblivious people seem to be about the class-driven ideology that flows through near every aspect of our society :S
Sounds like LibDem to me!I cannot believe those idiots are still claiming they are going to crash us back to another election if they get the chance. It's unbelievable. To what end? What are they hoping will happen in the next election? I still think they are lying because it just isn't remotely a cromulent policy.
The thing that I just don't understand is that if Leave voters are so utterly convinced that it's the best thing ever, why are they so afraid of a second referendum? Surely that's not the worst thing in the world?

Radio 4's World at One is exploring the fall-out from remarks about Labour's election prospects made by the party's shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth.
Mr Ashworth has called his comments "banter" and now feels like "a plonker", but the Conservatives say they are "an honest and truly devastating assessment" of Mr Corbyn's leadership.
But Anneliese Dodds, a shadow Treasury minister, tells the World at One: "I don't think he looks like a plonker."
She describes how Mr Ashworth is "somebody who's very, very funny" who "frequently has people in stitches" and who "does engage in banter".
And she dismisses the leak of the conversation as "slightly desperate tactics from the Tories at this stage".
Thingssssss can only get better, can only can only can onlyThe Centrist alliance has arrived. Sharpening it's knives thinking Corbyn will be gone soon.
It seems like they're just trying to double down on their "we hate Corbyn but also hate Boris" shtick, when they clearly must be aware that it isn't cutting through - Ed Davey didn't really seem very convinced of his own arguments during that interview.
Like, he kept on mentioning a People's Vote and how they'd push for it...well why not fucking work with Labour if that's your primary intention?!
I don't think she's looking to get rid of Corbyn (from that), and it's more an effort to downplay the story.

i'm struggling to poke holes in his methods.
wonder why blue tick pollsters/data scientists aren't interacting with him. he has a fair amount of followers for what he does.
The biggest question is "When do they expect these things to happen?"The thing that I just don't understand is that if Leave voters are so utterly convinced that it's the best thing ever, why are they so afraid of a second referendum? Surely that's not the worst thing in the world?
If they say they'll do that, they risk losing voters whoIt seems like they're just trying to double down on their "we hate Corbyn but also hate Boris" shtick, when they clearly must be aware that it isn't cutting through - Ed Davey didn't really seem very convinced of his own arguments during that interview.

Paranoia that Remainers (who they see as The Establishment, the Media, and the Rich) will do everything in their power to fix the vote, having lost the first one thanks to their self-assured hubris.The thing that I just don't understand is that if Leave voters are so utterly convinced that it's the best thing ever, why are they so afraid of a second referendum?

Obviously there are cases of people seeing it multiple times, but 92 million is a staggering amount. Keep sharing this thing and make it the story of the week, of this whole election.
Erm... He's not anonymous, he's Dr Moderate.
Maybe they just know that Swinson might not be in charge post election and they can just throw this shitty idea under the bus with her when they make a deal.I think they know it's a shit strategy but also have no ideas for a better one. May as well at least be consistent.
They're waiting in the wings. The groupchat on WhatsApp is probably "full of banter" about how Labour will course-correct after losing on Friday.
Corbyn won't survive a loss (to a Tory majority) and it's depressing.
Maybe the left of the party was right about there being a bunch of right wing wrecker MPs, happy to josh around with Tories and regurgitate right wing talking points about their party leader 🤔🤔🤔🤔
It really is feverish nutter time. Boris can't win, he just can't. Look at them all, it's like Spitting Image. Five more years of that? Privileged sociopaths that are just so, so out of touch with regular people, their day to day lives and needs.

To be honest I expected a load of Labour mps to quit the election by now, doing a big show of how unelectable and terrible Corbyn would be. It really is amazing and tragic the time we are in, people would rather have the country destroyed than let a decent honest guy who has a few non radical policies into power. This trick is pretty blatant though, I mean if that sways you now over the hospital, then there is no hope for them or this country.

But your two round system is only for Presidential voting or also for national assembly?Tactical voting is fascinating.
In France, our two-round system means that first round is "vote with your heart" and the second round "vote with your head". But we've reached a point where people are voting tactically even for the first round to avoid their worst case 2nd round scenario. The irony is that almost everyone is unhappy in the end.
If we were using the British system, given the current polls, I don't know anyone who would vote for anything else than Labour or Tory, to keep the worst of the two out.
