The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

[Mantis]

Yes but only because the Fixed Term Parliament mechanism they were going for one under allowed the Government leeway on when to hold it. Johnson is going to try and force through a new bill which sets one in stone for 12th December and the LibDems/SNP want to negotiate amendments to it to arrange it for the 9th instead.

Conservatives refuse to release a report on Russian meddling in British politics until after the election.

Labour experience a sophisticated, large-scale cyber-attack during the election.


Better call Sherlock Holmes to link the clues in this one.

I'm going to take a drink every time "dither and delay" comes up in this debate.

Why do I feel like that might endanger our D&D session on Thursday?

[Raid]

I couldn't bring myself to watch the debate in the end.

[Wrathbone]

Well... this is the precipice. Anyone else clenching?

[Raid]

I don't think I can bring myself to watch.

I predict a bunch of Boris gains in Scotland as people try to vote strategically and split the majority between SNP and Lab. :/

Not voting Conservative, Labour aren't a viable alternative, so, purely because of the local candidate, I'm voting Lib Dem.

[Wrathbone]

Went to get some milk from the fridge.

[Raid]

Just so we're clear here; someone has mounted some sort of screen in your fridge?

[Wrathbone]

Meant to be a play on the Boris hiding in the fridge thing, but if we're getting technical then it's an ipad precariously balanced in the fridge.

Arf!

Right, right, that makes sense. I thought it was some sort of commentary on that "Ed Milliband can't eat a bacon sandwich with dignity" thing.
