This morning @LBC reveals Ian Byrne - running in the safe seat of Liverpool West Derby - wrote abusive, sexist comments online.

This includes against Baroness Michelle Mone, in 2015 he posted “hit the c**t where it hurts.”

He also called Prince William a “horse-faced tw*t.”

Labour election candidate Ian Byrne says he is "deeply sorry for the inappropriate and offensive language" he used on social media a few years ago - he says he’s a very different person now.

A 16ft robot of Donald Trump sitting on a golden toilet, while tweeting, has just been wheeled into Trafalgar Square ready for today’s protests @LBC
The statue was made by Don Lessem an American who makes giant robotic dinosaurs. He says the #DumpTrump robot speaks and makes farting noises and cost him $25,000 of his own money @LBC
Police are relying on a ‘barrier plan’ to protect Downing Street this morning. Protestors can’t get any closer than this to Number 10 - where Trump and May are meeting later. @LBC

Look what @jeremycorbyn will see on his way home in Islington today - a billboard by @ByDonkeys and @FFSake_ spray-painted by young Labour members calling for a people’s vote @LBC
“How many more votes do you need?!” WATCH as Islington @UKLabour member Bashir Ibrahim is heckled by a lorry driver for supporting a #peoplesvote with @FFSake_ @LBC
For all the people replying to this thread talking about ‘vandalism’ - I should point out it’s *their* billboard.

@FFSake_ and @ByDonkeys want young people to get their messages to Corbyn.

Please don’t tag the Met in this... police have enough to do.

A lot of myths about Tories "equalising" constituences with 5% variation in registered electorate, & normally the 26,000 Scottish Highlands seat & 110,000 Isle of Wight seat are cited. But this review still leaves them outsized & 99% of seats are currently within 20% variation...
95% of seats are currently within 10% variation.

Why not 5%, I hear you ask- because the largescale disruption at each review is unworkable. The constituency link means an ability to re-elect an MP. But the knock on disruption of 5% means boundaries will chanhe your MP not votes
It will not last more than 2 reviews before it becomes clear it is ridiculous for voters to find their MP changes after every election due to boundary changes.

Also never mentioned is that Labour seats actually contain more people because....

#COMMENTS on the @Airtel_Ug @K2Telecom endorsement agreement.
Is the Airtel/K2 transaction a merger or acquisition? What does it mean for K2 customers? Has @UCC_Official approved this transaction?
The Airtel/K2 transaction is neither a merger nor acquisition. It's a brand endorsement arrangement, were K2 entered into agreement allowing @Airtel_Ug to use her Trademark, Brand name (K2 Telecom) & Resources to market @K2Telecom products & services to customers @UCC_Official
Under the Brand Endorsement Agreement, K2 customers will continue enjoying the same or similar services with a different code prefix (0708). The customer migration will be voluntary. Customers will exercise their contractual right to either move to Airtel or not.

It's 1 Senate seat in a red State where there were still enough Dems to put it in play.

I'm saying this is what the Democrats strategy will be to get control of Congress back.

I didn't say it would work.
The uncomfortable fact to all this is, Moore has a habit of saying stuff like homosexuality should be illegal and then you end up talking about 'how illegal', and jail time comes up and it turns into a fiasco every time.
Trump himself recognized the problems with Moore which is why he backed Luther Strange. But some Conservative/Alt Right leaning pundits/would be kingmakers like Bannon said Strange wasn't Conservative enough.
