Between 1-4 Dec the Conservatives blasted out 6,749 ads on Facebook. A number made claims that had already been classified by https://fullfact.org as misleading.

What percentage of those ads, would you say, were classified as misleading?

90%?  Misleading seems a low bar.  Don't most adverts mislead to some extent?  Maybe I am a bit too cynical when looking at adverts if that isn't true. 

88%

interesting site.

takes aim at all parties and fires rebuttals, with facts.

I want to run a small competition

Please post before polls close on Thursday to be eligible

Answer with one number, either

a) size of conservative majority or b) number of seats short of majority (and state which your answer is)

Nearest wins a £25 donation to a charity of their choice (will post screenshot)

In the event of a tie earliest guess wins



27 seat majority - if i win i'll match the donation

Was going to go 5 seats short, but missed out.

Will be bold and go 8 seats short.

Westminster Voting Intention:

CON: 42% (=)
LAB: 36% (+4)
LDM: 11% (-1)
BXP: 4% (+1)
GRN: 2% (=)

Via @SavantaComRes, 2-5 Dec.
Changes w/ 2-3 Dec.

Highest labour result since April


your 5/2 tip on "no majority" is still available.

6/7% lead is said to be potential "no majority" territory.

Weekend polls seems to be steady on about a 10 pt lead.

Some 10/3 now available!

now value at 7/2.....going in. #floorgate

1.2m views already

ITV reporter joe pike shows Boris Johnson a picture of the sick 4 year old forced to lie on coats on the floor of A&E.

Johnson refuses to look & pockets the phone.

https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1204036343770300416?s=20

this could be a big one

How difficult ro just acknowledge that looks terrible and sound sincere about wanting to improve the service without veering off into soundbite bollocks. Just a hint of empathy. Too conditioned to look for traps and confrontation.

Meh, it is a trap though.  Surely one bad experience shows nothing on the general state of the NHS?  I accept as a politician he can't really just turn round and say "Fuck off, that is about as relevant as Donald Trump saying climate change is fiction because it is snowing heavily".  I mean if the kid is lying on the floor when he walks around a hospital the done thing would be to express some sympathy with Mrs I am going to use my kid to make a political point. 

I think we express it differently but agree essentially. I don't actually expect or need him to care particularly or wring any hands about a single case of someone waiting for a while to be seen. Just the politics of it dictate a better response than he gave, convey some leadership, competence and ownership.  In all my time in business I am a total expert in conveying to people that I'm going to take care of their issue. It's not very difficult imo and you don't even have to care if the issue is ever dealt with.

She has taken down the tweet about the punch.  I don't know if the Daily Mail has followed.

Here is the cyclist "punching" the advisor

40 seats to the conservative party, though if I win the victory will be the smallest of pyrrhic ones.

Will probably back against this given the prices.

4.6m views of the Joe Pike 4 year old in hospital Boris interview video on twitter in half a day.

It makes no difference though?

It's twitter though, i'd be pretty surprised if more than about 7 people on twitter are floating voters
