Interesting graph nickc !

I’m confused about no religion being smaller than all the others tho?

I suppose Johnson’s islamaphobic comments have baked in opposition to the Tories in the Muslim communities too

Very sad to see 2 main political parties with such stark religious divisions between them

Now we have Heseltine weighing in, again, against the tories – ‘….he is saying this morning that he doesn’t want to support a party that in his view – by pursuing Brexit – will make the country pooerer and will make it less influential across the world’.
In response, Gove says comments are….not helpful.

So the long term political future of a country affecting the entire population..
possibly for decades to come..
can be swayed by the hate of a relatively small minority of religious zealots..
their anger directed at a particular figure to satisfy their spite..
facilitating the empowerment of a basically far right extremist party..
with seemingly no social conscience..

..the phrase cutting off your nose to spite your face pops up.

to vote in this election based on anything other than the long term effects
of the changes proposed is nothing short of idiocy or gullability of a high order

TJ is antisemitic, no one has claimed, or even suggested that.

This clearly implies it, IMO;

is NOT the fault of British citizens who happen to be Jewish, OK TJ? Have you got that message now?

If he didn’t MEAN to imply it, he owes TJ an apology. If he DID mean to imply it, then he owes more than an apology.

Yeah all my Jewish friends are really “anxious” living about living in a Labour run UK

In fact they are really looking forward to The Great Utopian Brexit Liberation and Tolerance of Minority Religions that is to come once we have taken back control.

Antisemitismis real accross all sections of society

Critism of Isreal is not of its self anti semitic but any critisim is often called anti semetic

Corbyn is willing to critise Isreal. That gets him called anti semetic

No one has yet been able to point to a single anti semetic thing Corbyn has ever done

I’m sure all us gentiles can get behind the idea of concentrating on other things but, for others, referring to antisemitism as something other than a “real issue” is pretty cold and hard.

He’s not referring to antisemitism as the non-real issue he’s saying the subterfuge for politicising should be treated with scepticism.

Vote Labour. Please don’t let the most blinkered supporters put you off. You can see that Labour have problems amongst their ranks that are yet to be dealt with properly, and also that having another Labour MP is immeasurably better for everyone in the UK than another Conservative MP.

Vote Labour. Stop the Tories.

It’ll narrow still further in the next few weeks. I had hoped the launch of the Labour manifesto would have moved the dial further than it has though (it did in 2017); harder for Labour to surprise this time, I suppose.

Inertia. Maybe it will ramp up.

That poll is one of the tricky ones that tends to reflect Tory goodness.

Interestingly here in Brexitlaw (Bassetlaw) we don’t appear to have a campaigning Tory PPC. Now if you know anything about Bassetlaw (Lord John Mann of Brexitville previously) we are supposed to be heading towards Tory. But there is no one on the campaign trail.

(Actually Brendan Clark-Smith is listed but still haven’t seen him campaigning.)

I for the life of me can’t figure out what’s gone on with the Tory PPC. I see Brendan Clarke-Smith listed but nothing from him.

I’m going to a mini question time debate soon with all the candidates apart from the Tory PPC listed!

Tipping point? One off Poll?

There was an ICM poll yesterday too…

There was an ICM poll yesterday too…

yeah saw that last night. Good.

If Johnson can be denied his majority, it might be surprising just who is prepared to support Labour forming a government instead (with a different leader) and holding an EU referendum…

DUP does not rule out backing minority Labour government if Corbyn replaced
Lord Kerslake, former head of civil service advising Labour suggested if Labour needed SNP & Lib Dem support for. minority gov Corbyn’s role as leader could be part of negotiationhttps://t.co/spAi9lNRt4 pic.twitter.com/2AQei0yHPS

We might end up with ALL the NI MPs, of all parties, doing what needs doing to kill Johnson’s Brexit approach.

Ideological purity, comrade. It trumps everything. It certainly trumps being in power.

Have a think about what it is Johnson has achieved. He’s united all the political parties in NI in opposition to something. His crappy ‘deal’. Really you have to take your hat off to him. That truly unprecedented

He’s united all the political parties in NI in opposition to something. His crappy ‘deal’.

And still we have England jogging along… tally ho… ignoring that we are forcing a deeply unpopular risky massive change on both NI and Scotland…

If Johnson gets his majority, I dread to think how much he can turn people outside England against “Westminster” over a five year term.

Daz – I believe the word you’re looking for is ‘compromise’. Or horse trading. Call it what you like. Its the reality of our political system now majorities look like (thankfully) being a thing of the past.

Grandads track record suggests he won’t even compromise with those in his own party, but outside the bunker, so its a non-starter

The union won’t survive a 5 year Tory term of them pursuing their hard Brexit.

The problem is how that manifests it self. In Northern Ireland this type of thing has had a tendency to get a bit shooty
