Would be good if the Lib Dem’s candidates were so embarrassed by their campaign they just pull out

That Alliance for Green Socialism looks mighty tempting (jokes).

Btw, you have the same countertop as we do! Hopefully yours doesn’t have the holes in from previous tenants though.

Latest polls make for grim reading.

Yeah - um, is there any positive way to take this?

Elsewhere on the trail, Jo Swinson wowed voters with her commitment to nuclear annihilation.

Well it’s a further push for me to go live in the Fens in total isolation from society, with a load of rescue dogs as my only company.

As such, the apparent swing is likely to consist of Conservatives piling on more votes in seats which they may well have won anyway, while the key Labour-held marginals which Mr Johnson must win to secure a majority in the Commons are unaffected.

Not really, although it’s worth knowing that a couple of the new polls tonight that show the Tories increasing their lead do so because they are the first time those particular polling companies have accounted for the Brexit party standing down in Tory-held seats. They’re now giving people the choice only of candidates actually standing in their seats. So the Tories haven’t necessarily had a good week, and a lot of the former Brexit Party votes they have won are probably in safe Tory seats.

It’s depressing that the debates and manifesto launch don’t seem to have given Labour any kind of bounce, but a lot of the fieldwork for these polls was done earlier in the week.

Anyway, whether the situation really is as bad as it seems or not, it doesn’t mean a thing until polling day, and we should all be doing everything we can to kick out the Tories because it’s the right thing to do. Continue canvassing, donating, having conversations with friends/family/colleagues. It’s still all to play for!

I’m really clutching at straws here, but I just don’t think the 5% of people currently claiming they will vote for the Greens will actually vote for them over Labour. And although the Brexit Party are currently at 3%, I think there are enough right-wing imbeciles that might vote for the Tories but who in the voting booth won’t be able to resist the urge to put a cross in the box marked BREXIT.

I’m taking some solace in the polls being consistently some way off in the last few elections. But the truth is that the Tories will almost certainly win more seats than Labour, and were always likely to, which is fucking depressing. That’s only part of the picture though. Every last seat we can get will put us in a better place on Dec 13th. And there’s every reason to believe we’ll win enough to shape the direction the country goes in even without having anything close to a majority.

Chin up. There’s so much left to fight for.

Find it really dispiriting how the left in general have just given up on Scotland in this election. Not having a go at you zeal but everyone in England - journalists, politicians, activists - just seem resigned to and completely fine with the SNP sweeping the board. I get that they don’t want to seem to be dictating to people up here or speaking out if turn but c’mon. So many people I know would love corbyn as PM but are also Yes voters. Wouldn’t take that much fucking compromise and/or some of the investment of energy and belief that we’ve seen in England to swing a good bunch of lab/snp marginals in our favour, surely.
