Think the Guardian is running with "May - spineless coward who looks like the ghost of a badger's arse".
Mirror has gone with "May the Jihadi supplying Saudis with weapons whilst making police cuts".
That's the joy of a free press.
Con maj persists in being 1.23 on Betfair. Not a bad 24 hour RoI if you have 20 grand lying around.
Not really quite as hysterical though, are they?
Legitimate social care reform packages aren't quite as odious as supporting the IRA, to be fair.
Yeah they're much more balanced with other labour politicians.
I bet they wished they had saved that one for now.
Wow I've just seen a raft of SNP supporters saying they're going to be voting Labour to ensure the Tories don't get in again.
The end of the NATs?
One of the most rabid nationalists I know posted that she was thinking about voting Labour because their manifesto was 'the most socialist in [her] lifetime'. She was absolutely ripped to pieces by all her super nationalist friends. They still take any criticism of the SNP, even if it's only implied criticism, as a personal attack on them and their entire identity. It remains a cult, albeit more like Jonestown when the drinks were being poured than when they were franchising all over the place.
The press has no influence.
Also, seems like your press is even more disgraceful than the American one, and that is saying something.
Our papers are worse, our TV is better.The press has no influence.

Sounds about right.
What are some good, independent UK journals?
The Independent.
Peter Oborne's probably the only 'independent' one I can think of.
I don't think that logic works in any Scottish seat, so lol at them.Wow I've just seen a raft of SNP supporters saying they're going to be voting Labour to ensure the Tories don't get in again.

He's gone a bit off the Islamic deep end over the past couple of years.
I'd laugh if it resulted in a few sneaky Tory seats.
Owned by a Russian oligarch.
Also no longer a newspaper.
Online only is ok.
Spikey #that'sthejoke img plz.
Also, Abbott isn't ill, she's been spiked by Seumas Milne (too late though).
On the whole, yes, but I'm not sure even the Americans have anyone as openly and defiantly hateful as Kay Burley regularly doing their news.
The thing nobody picks the Americans up on enough, particularly TV Americans, is how fucking stupid their hair is. I mean look at that.
He's a cunt to us, but to them he's just a NEWSCASTER.
In his defence, he only bought it (and the Evening Standard) to get invited to parties.Owned by a Russian oligarch.

I think Cleggers losing his seat is very much ON, but at the same time I'm not sure if I want it to happen, as he'll then start a sparkling punditry and possibly TV presenting career.
You'd expect it would go as Corbyn is basically the receptacle for the seething student protest vote.
It would be hilarious as his "extreme Brexit" bollocks would just be dismissed with "but you couldn't even persuade your own constituents, Nick, mate".
Robertson is the one I want to see lose his seat. Salmond won't, unfortunately.
In less enlightened times he would have been nailed on as our next European Commissioner, so lol.
I reckon Salmond will be bloody close.
Farron going is the big prize but less sure about that.
The Tories didn't go after Farron's seat in 2015 because it was geographically too much of an effort for the bussed in activists.
He might lose, but he has a 9K majority and does the local TV / press well. He'll cling on.
Norman Lamb is definitely vulnerable, too. Sarah Olney is useless, but it takes a bit of neck to put Zac Goldsmith up again.
According to the Gina Miller Party, which has raised £413065 off of wallies, the best anti-Brexit vote where I live is Labour, who in 2015 trailed the Conservative MP by a mere twelve thousand votes. Brilliant website love.
Vince will be back in Twickenham (or if he isn't, then lol) and Ed Davey may win back Kingston, but on the other hand Tom Brake should be out on his arse in Carshalton.
Richmond Park is a bit of an unknown but I imagine the fish-faced cow will hold on.
For other SW London middle class wanker seat news follow my tumblr.
Vince will be the new leader. Davey will struggle to get back. There's 4,300 kippers in Kingston. He might get some tactical voting from the reds, but it looks uphill.
I wouldn't object to some Lib Dems getting back in in Scotland, if only to shaft the SNP. Swinson looks probable.
Had a leaflet at home today saying ONLY THE LIB DEMS CAN TAKE THIS SEAT FROM DOMINIC RAAB - LABOUR CAN'T WIN HERE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esher_...s_in_the_2010s
Printing those surely the biggest waste of money in electoral history.
*googles Dominic Raab*
2 for 2 today.
I don't have a vote at the moment but I have persuaded at least two people to vote SDLP on the anti-Tory ticket, as their MP's would align with Labour.
Baron Badger.
The Rainbow Dream Alliance from 1997 sound like a fun bunch.
The group originated in the 1980s as the Rainbow Alliance of several small groups, founded and led by Rainbow George Weiss, which Weiss says was after he was contacted by "an extraterrestrial soulmate called Sterling Silver".
The renamed Vote For Yourself Dream Ticket party stood Weiss as its candidate in all four Belfast seats in the 2001 UK general election, pledging to rename Britain and Ireland as the "Emerald Rainbow Isles", to replace the currency with the "Wonder", made up of 100 "gasps",[2] to make utilities, healthcare and education free, and to cancel all debt.
My brother, who lives elsewhere in the country, filled out and sent in a postal vote for Baron Badger. Some people.
The only leaflet we have had is a Labour one, which the postman handed to me and said 'There you go, straight for the bin' (although the Conservatives have a few signs up). During the referendum we were getting one every couple of days.
I'm going with 44-ish against 34-ish for tomorrow (which is about what ICM have been showing all along isn't it?), and for everyone to realise that the WORST CAMPAIGN EVER was actually a solid success, and that the only actual idiots were those expecting a twenty point win.
I don't really care what the share is. Labour could pile up 95% in East Ham. All about the seats.
That's exactly what will happen.
I lolled.
I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"If it wasn't for the last minute smear campaign..."
