Not reading anything premised on a demonstrable falsity like that first line.

The electoral dynamics in Scotland are very different from those in the rest of the UK, and its 59 seats are often decisive in a general election.

Just… nope.

tl;dr: Between 1945 and 2010, MPs returned from Scotland decided who governed the whole of the UK on three (possibly four) of the 18 elections.

That ain’t even close to “often”.

Farage being roasted on the billboard, finally

quick anon poll about canvassing following this tweet

  • This election is the 1st time I’ve been out canvassing
  • This election is the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve been out canvassing
  • I’ve done it a handful of times
  • I’m an old hand m8
  • never been canvassing but really tempted to this time out

yeah true, i noticed that too.
i gave them the benefit of the doubt/generously chose to interpret it as Scotland has been hugely significant for the last 3 elections (if you include this one).

Yeah was echoing this earlier, even people on DiS have mobilised really impressively. Not necessarily an indication Labour will get more votes but people are recognising how important this election is.

The bloke I spoke to earlier was canvassing for the 1st time and there seemed like 5 or 6 people with him.

What really fucks me off on one is this tweet:

“Looks like”

LOOKS LIKE? That describes the event as though it’s ambiguous - when the video clearly and unambiguously, shows that there was no punch at all. Then she states it’s “grim” when it’s nothing of the sort. To people that don’t watch the video but read the tweet, there is still an implication that it’s been a dangerous incident.

She’s simultaneously reducing accountability while sticking to her guns. Nonsense stuff.

You know what’s grim, Laura? Sick kids having to sleep on the floor in a hospital in a major city. That’s fucking grim. And the only response this government has to the grim reality it has caused is to send Matt ‘I am an app’ Hancock to ‘sort out the mess’. He couldn’t sort a fucking sock drawer.
