Ones like these are exactly why Swinson will be absolutely destoryed if the Tories win this week.
There are more tactical voting opportunities to lift Labour up and take down horrid rats like IDS than there are LD.

The problem with this is that much like America, the Tories and the Brexit campains have spend spent a fortune to spread so many lies and disinformation on Facebook and its stuck now. Labour are just catching up.
Used in the right way it can be such a great way to reach people but it needs regulating
I'm curious about what part of that post you find appealing?
The alternative is Brexit and further deterioration of the country under Johnson and manifesto promises that completely undermine democracy in this country.
Its just so convenient for the 'reluctant Tories' to have no other option but to vote for Johnson isn't it.
That lib Dem vote needs to vanish.
Thats about all they are useful for now. And thats a good summary, there is a lot of movement towards a Tory lead of 9-11%.
The pollsters are very concerned though, at unusually high levels of unsure voters. So it's still very volatile, between a big tory majority, and a hung Parliament. It remains quite open in that regard.
There are a whole host of other factors that I am a little sceptical about on the polls. Ranging from, accounting for new registrees, how well they reach young people the weighting on questions such as Brexit and how younger/older people vote, (the assumption remains the 2017 voting outcomes will be radically different) and also how effective Labours ground operation can be. On all of these questions they have sided very much towards the Conservatives, on some occasions explicitly so.
I saw a poll today which showed a London borough, which had the Tory vote collapsing and a swing to Labour. Yet the polling data is estimating a swing of 4% to the cons (in some cases much more than that). It doesn't lead to a particularly easy picture.
If I were going to summarise I'd say Tories to do worse in cities and the south, Labour to do worse across the midlands/North. How that plays out in reality though, we await to see.
I know a few people who heads will fall off if Southport turns red, it would be fantastic but not going to happen unfortunately.

The major trends at play during the campaign has the bumming of the smaller parties. I'm particulalrly delighted to see the collapsr of the LD vote, whose antagonistic Brexit policy has ensured their pending annihilation.
There's something brewing.
Whilst we're losing northern seats, I'm hearing a lot about us really contesting areas within the (traditionally) Tory shires.

Jesus that's awful.
The anti-Semitism stuff has stuck.
I don't know if there's anyway back from this.
What a complete mess.

That Survation poll has the tories 4 points ahead of labour in london. To me that doesn’t seem right, but if it is correct then it’s going to be an horrific election night for labour.
This whole Amazon/NHS story over the weekend is a prime example of how toxic things have become around the NHS. I've done a reasonable amount of work on patient data over the years, and have always strongly advocated that patients both own and control their own data, so the headlines appeared both shocking, and yet not altogether surprising. After all, the data from things like Google's Project Baseline is all owned by Google.
Yet, it seems like the headlines were complete and utter nonsense, as Amazon aren't getting their hands on patient data whatsoever. The NHS website has various information about symptoms and the like, which can be freely used by any organisation, just so long as it's only used in the UK. If you want to use it more broadly, then you need an agreement with the NHS to do so. That's all Amazon have got. The ability to use the symptom information on the NHS website to (presumably) train Alexa on this kind of stuff.
You 'could' argue that they should have got some money out of Amazon for what is presumably useful information to them, but the headlines of this being another example of the 'NHS being flogged off' are utterly absurd.
