UK Politics Thread III: Thready McThreadface (+ Jo Cox)

[Questers]

Anyone know of any really recent polling for the London mayoral election and have a link to hand? Just wondering what effect all the Anti-semite stuff has actually had on Sadiq's chances, I get the feeling it actually isn't much and it hasn't had much effect on Labours numbers anywhere really but I'd like to see and a quick google doesn't seem to be aiding me.

If the polls have anything to say about it atm, it's gg.

yeah I've seen that one but I was wondering if there were any more recent I might of missed, 20 points is pretty insurmountable but I was wondering if anyone actually cared about the anti-semitism row or whether it was just a thing the media was talking about and people were not actually caring.

[Kainesia]

I'm honestly surprised the Tories haven't backed down on that yet. They've done so many u-turns in a year that another one wouldn't even damage the government. Now's the best time for it with everyone up in arms about Labour.

I think Cameron wants to wait till after the referendum, then get rid of Mr. Cunt i mean Hunt (OK i got that of private eye) and get Boris into health.

I think private eye got it from real life TBH. It wasn't one of their jokes.

Actions speak louder than words. In fact, I'd love to see women strike over the pay gap because this issue that has been talked about for decades would likely be solved in less than a week.

I thing JR Doctors has been going on for more than a week.

They aren't half the workforce.

Can't find any on YouGov.

It shouldn't have much of an impact, and Sadiq made sure to call Ken quite early on, which may have insulated him from a deal of the flak.

I care, but I won't change my vote on it.

Hello ye men of valour.

Really craving a bit of this right now.

Can't wait to get back to blighty.

You're not now?

How awful.

Nor are women. Technically speaking.

I'd thought that market report had a breakdown of type of work by sex as well, but apparently not.

Okay, so a quick Google search only shows up the top 3 links as from RT, the mirror and Unilad (lol) but apparently the Tories have broken a law in regards to the 2015 election. Does anybody know anything about this?

Presumably this is the thing about them overspending.

Systematic election overspending in a myriad of constituencies and failing to declare that expenditure that would cause them to have overspent.

That they probably have due to FOI requests was big news like three months ago. I assume this is "yeah, we've proved they had from the documents we already had".

Ooh Tag for the dealings with later.

Also, according to Jewish Chronicle, the red Likud party (Israeli Labour party), is considering cutting ties with the Britain's Labour party. Good.

There's little evidence that there is a "Labour antisemitic problem", there is an antisemitism problem currently highlighted in Labour.

The two are different.

Let us also not forget when the exact same thing afflicted the Tories in the 1980s.

Oh yeah, fantastic. The primary advocate for peace in the Israeli political system and the main opposition to much of Netanyhu's bullshit wants to disaffiliate. Let's replace them with 'drive em into the sea' Hamas.

The fact you've coined them 'Red Likud' shows how ignorant you are of the Israeli political system.

I'm not entirely sure why you posted this in reply to my post, which primarily was about how the anti-semitism stuff might have affected Sadiq Khan's mayoral campaign... care to explain?

Speaking to fellow Labour activists in London, this election is pretty much wrapped up. The anti-semitism thing hasn't had much of an impact either way and if it does, the effect is not significant. Only people who care are Palestinian justice advocates with too much time on their hand really.

Wouldn't they logically be playing down anti-semitism?

Also, is it "wrapped up" as in Khan is still leading? What caused BoJo to slip from favour?
I wager it's his nasty turn over the EU.

Johnson isn't standing. It's Zac Goldsmith.

[Imperializt Russia]

Are there term limits, or did he just decide to not be it anymore?

Also that makes more sense (now that I remember), since I've never seen anyone claim to unironically like Zac Goldsmith.

Let's not. I never said they should be replaced by a 'drive them into the sea' Hamas,' you said that.

Israel has its own Blairites, and you're entitled to your own opinion on that.
