    They got an extension. Elections are in the process of happening however UK polling is notoriously shit so don't expect much.

    The press is still pretty shit for labour. Lib Dems are kind of turning into the new Tory party and have are extreme pro remain and garbage on a lot of things. BoJo is doing the same shit kinda.

    Registration just ended for UK elections so good luck have fun.

    Also really hot fresh off the presses.

    BoJo: The NHS is not on the table.
    Corbyn: It has and I have the receipts.

    "I'd just like to ask Mrs Scott Cato what empirical proof she has that the end of the transition period when we will be leaving the European Union, hopefully on a 'Canada plus'-style trade deal, will result in a cliff-edge - when as far as I'm aware she does not have any degree in economics. Maybe she has some business experience that would give some empirical proof that that would be the case? So I was wondering whether you could answer that question of why you're so certain that the United Kingdom will suffer as a result of that." -- Brexiteer MEP Robert Rowland

    "Obviously you haven't been paying much attention to my CV because I was, and remain, a professor of economics." -- Green Party MP Molly Scott-Cato

    UK is having an election today. Have no idea what the results are gonna look like because polling is shit in the UK but things look worse for Labour now than they did in 2017 but at the same time turn out is a lot higher than 2017 with "queues" (read: Lines) to poll.

    Also;

    My tl;dr is

    The press in UK has been objectively awful to Jeremy Corbyn's labour party (e.g. they'll continue accusations of antisemitism being a problem in the labour party without pointing out what the issues are meanwhile Torie campaigners are caught on camera being islamaphobic pieces of shit and that hasn't caught any flack) and in addition to this Boris has been strategically minimizing his appearance in just about anything so he's reduced his gaffes to a minimum.

    Looking like SNP won most of Scotland and Labour got rekt.

    It'll be amusing if Tactical voting hurt Labour or not. By amusing I mean horrifying

    Scotland gon get gone if hard Brexit goes through

    Tory majority was expected, though perhaps not to this extent (have to wait and see how close the exit poll is to the actual margin). Corbyn really is the worst imaginable leader for Labour to put forward.

    Yeah Corbyn's gotta go and Scotland will too. US trade deal after Brexit will almost certainly mean jacking up pharmaceutical prices for the NHS.
