I have amended the first post to include the above chart, so it'll be there as well...and the one I update. I prolly copy/paste it here and there a few times....but will be maintained on the first page/first post. Looks like we drummed up 19 teams! That's great! Was simple enough, that helps. Good luck to all and thanks for playing. SC

If the deathlist has taught me anything, it's that we're all mortal.

I couldn't read it because of the paywall, but Corbyn can't be that bad if Bliar doesn't like him.

Alas, Willie Clarke has died aged 84 after a long struggle with cancer. Seems to have been well respected by left and right wingers alike in the area for being a hard working community force, and for his work with disabled kids. re the Courier

Let's face it, the sheeple are being led into a Brexit election - it's all about Brexit, nothing matters but Brexit, and yet those I have spoken to simply aren't voting because they have lost faith. But when you distil everything down, Brexit doesn't really matter anymore. To some extent Farage is correct - Brexit should be about the trade deal we can do while exiting the political institutions. He is of course wrong on everything else. A Tory Brexit is all about replacing freedom of movement for EU nationals with freedom of movement for the Indian sub-continent, Asia and anywhere else where labour is cheaper. It's inherently a racist policy, allowing a form of economic Imperialism. The main focus should be on climate change, training and job creation, career stability, better infrastructure, more beat cops, a secure NHS free from foreign influence, yada yada yada. At the end of the day there are three types of voter - those "who have always voted X" and will never ever change, those who vote on local issues (how does the policy affect my area? - see HS2) and those who are now voting on pressure causes, like climate change, fracking and the like. Brexit will be the only thing some voters will vote on or indeed fail to vote on, but the outcome one way or another will be hailed as a determinative factor on it - and it simply will not. Had a look at my constituency last time and it looks like the swing from SNP to Conservative just cost the SNP the seat which went to Labour. No Ruth Davidson and the toxic Bawjaws may again lead to Tory swing voters swinging back to SNP to keep Labour out. Yesterday it was pointed out that two-thirds of the UK marginals are in Scotland - and yet none of the major Unionist parties seem to have realised this - or they simply do not care - because their message is that Scotland's Brexit vote never mattered anyway. But it might end up that there's a ton more marginals across the UK after this election - and possibly as a result a ton more petitions for recall in due course.

Jesus. That sounds like torture.

He's just been interviewed , saying that Russia and the west are on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. By the look of things he won't live to see it though ! He has that appearance that really elderly people have who are sinking into dementia .At one point he didn't appear to realise he was being filmed. . https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-50265870/mikhail-gorbachev-tells-the-bbc-world-in-colossal-danger

Dead aged 85. Edit: Metro, Daily Mirror, BBC obituaries.

20 teams? I don't see my team listed SC.

Tom Watson's an obvious one, but from the other end of the Labour party my money's on Corbynite darling Laura Pidcock. Had a majority of 8,792 in 2017, but North West Durham was 55.5% leave at the Brexit referendum. There was also a 3% swing from LAB to CON at the last election, and she's not exactly the person to stop centrists from switching Labour to Lib Dem...

Thanks for the vote of confidence everyone. I can confirm I will run a 2019-2024 By-election bingo game. It will open in a new thread sometime around the beginning of December but the stupid timing of this election means that players will have until 31st January 2020 to get their teams in.

Huw Edwards is doing election night. Fuck the BBC

Be fair to say Mrs MPFC didn't go a bundle on the following: Our family once hosted this African exchange student that came from the tribal bush, and the lack of experience he had to Western culture was truly shocking. He asked me, "What again is this big white enormous cold thing in your kitchen that stores all of your food ?" "This is my wife."

Looking very well! She's as sharp and as eloquent as a near-nonagenarian as she ever was. Amazing lady.

Yeah, that’s why Clive Dunn, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Le Duc Anh are still liv... oh wait.

A four-month-old baby died after a monkey dropped a stone on him. The incident happened at his home in Sohjani village of Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district on Saturday. The monkey was on the terrace while the baby boy was on the ground floor with his parents. The monkey picked up a stone lying on the terrace that slipped from its grip and fell on the boy leaving him with serious injuries. The baby was declared brain dead at hospital. SC
