It might have something to do with the amount of characters you can have on a tweet.
Anyway ‘Hartlepool’ will be turning blue. The only memes worth worrying about will be of a ‘dud’ opposition leader. :emoticon-0100-smile

Well your excuses are bollocks, was it Twitter character restrictions that made her put in 180 thousand when the population is only 90 thousand... an extra character in that **** up. I’ll wait for you to mock Nadine for being thick as mince. Or was there another reason you chose to continuously mock Abbott?
 
How many crowing posts will there be when a seat is won that would’ve been won by a mile by the Tories last time were it not for an even further right wing alternative splitting the vote?

I’ll set the bar at over/under 8.5.
I’m glad you are getting in your excuses early. It wasn’t that long ago posters on here were telling me how good Starmer was in PMQs and how cr2p the Tories were.
We should expect a big win for Labour in a seat they have occupied for god knows how long.

You silly little fool. Abbott was/is awful that’s why she got mocked at the time. Now Anneliese Dodds and Johnathan Ashworth are getting stick from me. Stop trying to make ridiculous slurs. Go pull down a statue or something.

Starmer is good in PMQs and the Tories are crap but neither of those things actually matter, especially PMQs. Gary in Hartlepool doesn’t give a **** about PMQs.

The demographic that will drive the vote in places like Hartlepool (or Harlepool) is totally entrenched in their views and no Labour policy or leader is changing that any time soon, hence right wing parties having a majority there already unlike in the country as a whole. There are winnable seats out there but in the short term at least, this isn’t one of them.

Dorries is proper thick though. We can all agree on that.

what type of slur are you implying? All I’m saying is you hold politicians to different standards depending of which party they represent. Talking of slurs what’s with the silly statue comment?

Yeah right. <doh> You miss the point yet again. It’s always right wing stuff and thick voters with you. You are sounding spoilt.

No it proves that I am consistent and just don’t knock people of colour. Anneliese Dodds Jonathan Ashworth and Sir Starmer have been continually mocked of late by me. Abbott has been quiet so I have no need to mock.
It was you who made a slur in your last sentence. If you can’t take it don’t start it.
 
Strange comment that one, we bring Trumps allegations of sexual assault because he’s a politician... allegedly. Not sure Clarke is, unless I’ve missed something.
Who mentioned Trump? You have mocked others for their treatment of women yet the biggest story last week you seemed to omit.... funny that? maybe we should pull down all the entertainment statues?

My mistake for trying to have a reasonable conversation about politics on the politics thread when really you just wanted to post this.

The Tories + Brexit Party vote was 54% last time. Labour got 38%. For Labour to win they’d need an unrealistically huge share of that Brexit Party vote to swing to them and for the Lib Dems to leave it plus all these other randoms popping up this time to lose their deposit for a five
minute platform. That’s the sad reality in Hartlepool.

Nothing to do with the low IQ of Graham Brexit, who thinks Labour is elitist and will vote Tory for the first time.

I mentioned Trump as he’s a politician and this is a politics thread. I don’t think the Clarke story was the biggest of last week. If you want my honest opinion on that, it does seem like a lot of allegations for there to be no substance behind it. Don’t know a lot about him other than he was in Dr Who.

Just because you wanted Brexit or voted for that party doesn’t mean that you are some thick racist mate.
Remember Brexit is done and voters will return to their established parties. To add to that there were 120 Labour leave constituencies at the time.
Starmer and his shadow cabinet are not very good and people can see that. That’s the reason why they will lose that seat.

Right don’t try to play silly games with me. You know exactly why you said this and now you are trying to worm out of it. You said own it
I really don’t have time for you silly PC loving cr2p or your stupid snide remarks. You did the same last week mentioning my Mrs in a post.
Don’t start getting personal with me.

Right where did I get personal today? What games am I according to you playing? I’m not trying to worm out of anything, I wondered why you mocked Abbott endlessly for making an error on figures yet you don’t when it’s a Tory, it’s clearly double standards. You have inserted pc stuff when it’s not there, that’s nothing to do with me.
 
Always seems to go the same way on this thread. Ellers you do get personal and then cry the victim when others do the same back. It's getting beyond ridiculous. I'm joining Staines on a sabbatical. May one day see you all in the future!
