Interesting that the BBC are doing a feature fact checking the debate and are rubbishing the £2k thing. Coutinho is on now and the interviewer is challenging her on it.

I'd say Starmer would take that. I'm just gonna do this from now on - not watch and check stuff like this. I might watch when Rayner's on cos I think she could genuinely wipe the floor with some people.

Oof. We've booked Kos for next summer so I'm fully expecting forest fires next year.

I think these papers would have done this even if he'd comprehensively shut it down.

51/49 in Sunak's favour according to the yougov snap poll. Which is nowhere near what Sunak needed. Short thread here, I think Starmer will be happier with most of it:

They've been trailing this for a while now - part 1 today, part 2 on Friday. Should be decent.

I don't think Starmer and Sunak will attend the 7 way debate. I think they might send deputies. Might be wrong like.

I turned it off after 10 minutes. It was unbearable to watch. Have we ever had two bigger helium suckers as prime ministerial candidates btw? Starmer's failure to shut down the £2k thing even in the first few minutes was insane. All you have to do is say "You've made that number up, we're not 5 minutes into this, and already you're lying to the British public live on TV." Instead he looked, certainly in the early exchanges, like he wasn't quite sure himself if he was gonna put taxes up by £2k or not.

Based on current voting intention, the seat would go to the Tories by 35% to 34%. Think this is from an MRP so they've asked a bunch of people and then applied the results for those demographics to your constituency to come up with the above. So their 19k majority will be reduced massively and they need YOU to get them over the top.

They're speaking my love language.

He's gone on holiday with the Patreon money BTW.

YouGov changing the methodology on their voting intention polling the day after the debates is.... Not helpful. It's expected to knock about 4% or so off Labour's lead, giving the impression that Starmer has performed poorly. I'm sure all the news outlets will report this methodology change though. 😬 Does Zahawi still have a stake in YouGov btw? Why do I ask? No reason.

She's been arrested on suspicion of assault.😕

No way ewerk is related to her.

Aye, this could have major ramifications for us.

Never again ask for my advice and then ignore it. NEVER!

I'd ring and see if you can speak to someone. I don't think it's out of order at all to just say "the stuff never arrived, but I'm still intending on turning up tomorrow." If I was them and you hadn't received the stuff, I'd expect you to ring.
