Tory election not going well is it?

I am implementing a personal purdah system. I am watching no political debates or listening to any media interviews until after the elections. I will depend on newspaper articles and online material, whether I am more than capable of judging whether the information is valid or not.

I can then read things at leisure, consider them, perhaps go back and re read sections or all of the articles. place one article against another and reach a reasoned and considered conclusion.

Sounds like a good plan Monica.

It appears that the Indian government is openly helping Johnson

Not going well for Labour now is it? One of their own MPs, Ian Austin, is telling people to vote Tory! That's how bad Corbyn is!!!

And now we have a Liberal candidate in Cornwall apologising for appalling jokes about dyslexia and benefit claimants .....what is it - a race to the bottom?

I don't think that one ex-Labour MP telling people to vote tory is quite as damaging over all as the constant lies and gaffes coming from the tories.

BBC reality check of Johnson's election launch speech yesterday:

Thanks Maizie- great link.

Would be interested to know, for the Johnson supporters here, do they support his undemocratic and unconstitutional refusal to publish the Russina interference report, and if so, how they can justify it.

Apparently Ian Austin was also an entrenched opponent of Ed Milliband and criticised the Labour leadership at that time for not cracking down on migrants. His rhetoric at that point was compared by senior people in the Labour party to that of the BNP. It sounds to me as if his criticism is actually a feather in Corbyn's cap and the man will be far more at hope in today's far-right Tory party. I imagine he will crawl back under the stone he has previously been under shortly.

How did I know that when I read the title to this thread that it would be you WWM2!

Labour are doing fantastically well, though . One MP resigned today, and another is advising people to follow Boris Johnson. And let's not mention Diane Abbott

Yes, Salsa. Let's not mention Diane Abbott. There's been a whole separate thread on her if you want to join in the bitchfest.

That’ll be the ex Labour MP who now works for the Tories will it? And remind me how many Tory MPs have left or have been shown the door recently?

Oh, and do tell us how many tory MPs have resigned because they don't like where Johnson is taking the party..

The Tory candidate for North Norfolk has stood down because of comments he made about how women could avoid being raped ( note he did not comment about how men should stop raping women ). So how come anyone ever thought it was fine to select him in the first place? Given the Alun Cairns situation as well, there’s a sort of pattern developing isn’t there?

It looks as if Johnson is as afraid of meeting, and particularly addressing, real people in just the same way May was. Rooms full of the press who moderate their articles in his direction is probably his best bet I suppose.

No question and answer sessions at many of his meetings either.

I don't blame him for that could get rather embarrassing. ??

To maintain a degree of even-handedness, my contribution is this!

Thanks Maw funny and true

Oh dear

Anyone seen Mogg lately?

I reckon they have him locked in a cupboard

He has been very quiet, hasn’t he? Odious little man.
