Here’s self confessed Zionist Shitlord Luke Akehurst attempting to connect with voters, good try Luke, now crawl back under your stone

What a truly terrible video - doesn't Mossad pay for media training these days?

These polls are getting silly.  I don’t believe it will be anything like that on the 4th.

Reading won the Championship in 2005/6 with 106 points. It was an inevitability from about February but I didn't enjoy the season, because in my world we were going to implode at some point. We always do. March came and went, in late March we were mathematically up but still could in theory get caught for the title. Early April it was done and dusted. I wish I'd believed we were uncatchable long before I did, so I could have enjoyed the experience.

I'm having the same thoughts, except this could go literally to the last day.

Isn't it odd that according to conspiracy theorists Mossad controls all the media but also what they do is immediately obvious to unremarkable people on the Internet?  🤔

Luke Akehurst's favourite conspiracy theory currently is that the United Nations is anti-semitic.

I don't know if you're anti-Semitic, but you're clearly anti-semantics.

The United Nations’ refugee agency has warned judges it may have new evidence from 2024 that Rwanda has endangered asylum seekers, despite Parliament passing a law declaring the country is safe.

If the Tories passed a law declaring Rwanda a safe country surely no one can legally contradict them?

I have to say Rishi Sunak missed a trick by not expanding on this brilliant tactic - he could have passed laws declaring that there are no NHS queues, no inflation, etc

Reform, still full of wrong'uns:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjmmrwexv4ko

Reform UK candidate has apologised for claiming the country would be "far better" if it had "taken Hitler up on his offer of neutrality" instead of fighting the Nazis in World War Two.

Ian Gribbin, the party's candidate in Bexhill and Battle, also wrote online that women were the "sponging gender" and should be "deprived of health care".

In posts from 2022 on the Unherd magazine website, seen by the BBC, he said Winston Churchill was "abysmal" and praised Russian President Vladimir Putin.

That Akehurst film is a shoddy, embarrassing mess.

On a technical level (shooting shadows across a face, terrible editing and leaving DJI mic packs in full view) - it's enough make me change career.

We need people like Klein to be on  screen currently.

She's right, we're doing - right-wing failure then centrist 'solutions' which gives way to more extreme right-wing parties/ideas and thus more collapse.

Yup, it would be silly not to learn the lessons from Europe. But we probably won't.

Rishi Sunak thought that he could beat Reform UK at their own game despite all the historical evidence from Europe which shows that the far-right always wins when the debate is centred on asylum seekers/immigration.

I don't get the impression that Keir Starmer is smart enough to pull the rug from under Reform UK. Well he has said that nothing will change very much for the foreseeable future, because the country is alledgedly in such a mess, which must be music to Reform UK's ears.

Especially as they know that it is highly unlikely that voters will rush back to the Tories that quickly.

My Portillo moment will be if - and, hopefully, when - Saj Ahmad beats jenrick in Newark.

The polls are showing this to be absolutely neck and neck, now one of the most marginal constituencies in the country.

jenrick's majority in 2019 was 21,000+; his campaign this time is best described as 'low energy'.

The constituency is a 'non-battleground' seat for Labour which means we don't get funding from regional office or party central; nor do we get any visits from shadow ministers so our ground game has to be - and is - strong.

jenrick has deep pockets as do his supporters; local Labour is reliant on crowd-funding and a people powered campaign.

Given Newark is close by me - but not my area, curious how Jenrick performed with the floods?

Well whatever else happens, Ed Davey seems to be having a fantastic time. Are we sure he isn’t just on holiday?

I must say I find the constant stunts a bit cringey but we're in a situation where we can release yet another painstakingly researched, fully costed policy that will genuinely improve peoples' lives and it'll appear at the bottom of the BBC front page for about a hour if we're lucky.

All the whilst at the top of the page they breathlessly livestream the minutae of this morning's reaction to whatever undeliverable fever dream Farage has belched up this morning.

So.. silly stunts to get attention it is then I guess.

Akehurst is such a colossal ****.  He genuinely is without any redeeming features or ability.....god knows how he has been so successful in the Labour party.  He is going to be an absolute liability for them.

My fav bit of the video is definitely when his tie blows across him 🤣

@rone re jenrick and trent valley flooding...let's just say his performance and input have been unimpressive.

The lead has been taken by the district council and their initiatives to develop an integrated approach/policy with the EA and Canals & Rivers trust with jenrick trying to 'jump onto the coat tails'.

That's great - as far as it goes - but will need chunky central gov support. Whether or not that materialises is an open question.

Are you in Worksop? Clarke-Smith will have his arse handed to him on a plate.

The media team of the Lib Dems seem to be outperforming the halfwits around Rishi by substantial multiples

An interesting stay on Newsnight that the Tories are presently polling in 5th with 18-25 year olds, so I presume that Count Binface has more support

Check my maths but....

That's 100 people an hour. So about 1100 in his 8:20pm post since 9am. AIUI they're all chucking £25 in to Nige's pot but it's hardly a stirring number, is it?

Some amazing work on TikTok from Labour and the Lib Dems. Ed Davies is rating dogs on the campaign trail, and Labour are trolling the Tories with Sylvanian families.

That this sort of nonsense https://www.tiktok.com/@labourparty/video/7377417464218422561 (Irish Labour)

is needed to appeal to people of voting age, doesn't exactly support the argument for lowering it to 16.

Yeah that's what I thought but I saw a close prediction recently. No idea how much weight it carries.

BCS is truly awful and personally insulted me - not that I care, badge of honour. Think a lot see through him actually but also people don't believe Labour are going to come to their rescue either.  It's a difficult situation - Worksop is properly run-down these days, like lots of post-industrial towns. You can see lack of investment everywhere.

Thanks for the re-cap on the floods. Be interesting to see how the usually loyal farming community in Newark/Sherwood area are with their blue banners this time. Used to be Mark Spencer everywhere.

I worked with a farmer a few weeks ago in Caunton and he was basically relying on a county council subsidised tree/hedge planting scheme.

Another NI cut in the offing, no wonder Starmer has been careful on the fiscal front facing that sort of populist nonsense, still give with one hand, take with the other as tax thresholds still set to be locked until 2028. Not that it really matters as nothing the say now will actually happen, they can promise anything just to try and stem the exodus knowing there is no way they have to do it.

It's almost as if spending the kast decade increasingly focusing on policies and soundbites that appeal to and benefit brexity pensioners will cost you outside of your core demographic.

The nonsense about national service was just the cherry on top.

Hardly awkward when your main election strategy seems to be appealing to the kind of folk that like performative cruelty towards foreigners - and ones that are easy targets at that.

And I don't believe the polls either. Not to the extent that they are showing a Labour landslide in any case. It feels too good to be true.
