Reminder, if you're thinking of *tactical* Remain voting...
1. Labour is not the right choice everywhere
2. LibDem is not the right choice everywhere
3. Greens is not the right choice in all but a handful of seats (sorry, not this time round)
4. Tory is never the right choice
5. Check out the tactical voting site Best for Britain, see what it recommends for your constituency...
bestforbritain.org
6. Check out the tactical voting site Remain United, see what it recommends for your constituency...
remainunited.org
7. Do not be distracted by other tactical voting sites
8. If both Best for Britain and Remain United agree, then go with that recommendation. Otherwise use your best judgement (see below)
TACTICAL VOTING JUDGEMENT CALL
- LibDem is strongest vote for Remain
- Labour is "backup vote" (i.e. emergency parachute)
- 1 LibDem and 1 Labour MP = 2 Labour MPs (i.e. both scenarios add +2 to the anti-Tory column)
- Therefore if it looks like LibDems might prevail, pick Libdem
- In a Labour/LibDem marginal, pick LibDem
- In a Labour/Tory marginal with Libdems a distant 3rd or worse, pick Labour
- In a 3-way marginal, pick LibDem
- In a LibDem/Tory marginal, pick LibDem
- Greens, Plaid Cymru and SNP all want a second referendum and ultimately to Remain. So they're possible alternatives where they have a chance of winning, but a wasted tactical vote where they're not realistically in the running

Biggest early news coming out of the Question Time I'm not able to watch?

"Corbyn confirms he would be neutral during second referendum on Brexit." Apparently this is the first time he has made such an explicit statement. In other words, he's less Remain than last time!
Guardian Live Blog:

And he confirms he would be neutral in a second referendum. “First heard here in Question Time,” he says.
That seems to marry with this...

What's the silliest thing you've ever done on a computer?

I managed to lose a couple of weeks of work once copying data off of a memory stick into a directory with newer versions of some of the files (by absentmindedly answering "yes" to "overwrite?")

I screamed! Didn't help.
That's up there with snapping a CDROM by somehow trapping it at a *very* bad angle in a caddy with a vicious pull to it. To this day I can't quite reconstruct the sequence of events in my head.

Mind you, that's over 37 years of computer use, so maybe I can be excused. 😆
Oh, and I cracked a processor trying to take a heatsink off it. The nightmares are coming flooding back now...

#GE2019 #GeneralElection2019

Are you still #undecided?
Are you thinking of voting #LibDem? Think very hard: your vote may get you a very bad #Brexit.
You want to #Remain & that's why you're voting #LibDem?
But the #LibDems can't #RevokeArticle50 unless they win the election. In 2017 they won 12 seats. They need 326 MPs to win. How many do they need to claim a mandate to #Revoke?
Maybe the #LibDems can form a minority government?
Could a minority government #RevokeArticle50? Even for that the #LibDems would need at least 200 seats. And what other parties would they then need for success? The #SNP might vote to #RevokeArticle50, but would they be enough?

1 #EUelections a message to UK voters from Germany.

For anyone who actually cares about what happens to #Europe & the world:
the #EUelection is NOT A PROXY 2ND REFERENDUM.

Your vote will NOT deliver #Brexit / stop Brexit.
The EU Parliament does NOT have these powers.

THREAD👇
2 But your vote in the #EUelection2019 DOES have real-world consequences.

Right now, under the Spitzenkandidat system, the EPP's #ManfredWeber, of the right-wing anti-immigrant pro-backroom-lobby Bavarian CSU - is on course to become the next EU Commission president. 😖
3 If #ManfredWeber becomes Commission president, it's curtains for any chance of saving the world from #ClimateCollapse.

His CSU are way to the right of Merkel - & literally in the pocket of the German auto industry.

For good measure, Weber is also mates with #ViktorOrban 🤢

So, it's nearly 20.00. We're 16 councils shy of the finishing line, but let's take stock. /THREAD
Okay, let's put this in perspective and not get too carried away. The Tories have got away without a council mauling for many years, partly because anger at the LDs protected them during the Coalition. They did really well in these seats in 2015. Their luck just ran out.
*Of course* the #LibDems did really well in areas where Lab doesn't really exist, and where they've suddenly snapped back into contention after massive losses in 2011 and 2015. And *of course* #Labour did badly when they're about as coherent as alphabet soup.

Thread 1/6
To #Labour voters who back a #PeoplesVote and are campaigning to #Remain in the EU, please ignore this angry article. It does not speak for the majority.
The worst thing Labour supporters like Owen can do at the #EUElections2019 is lecture and patronise Remain voters.
2/6
 Instead, let's be honest about the progress made in moving #Labour policy on #Brexit forward, while recognising we are not where we need to be.
The good news:
-203 Labour MPs voted for a #PeoplesVote in parliament
-34 Labour candidates have signed the @Remain_Labour pledge.
3/6
 Less good news:
- The NEC decision confirms that backing a #PeoplesVote is an 'option', but did not commit to it unambiguously.

#Remain campaigners have every reason to be frustrated. But instead of attacking them (as Owen does), we need to convince them to stick with Labour

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

It's #WorldKindnessDay
@nickynoo007 made the brilliant suggestion to #KillBrexitWithKindness
Here's my *stab*: thank you #Brexit for honing my power point skills. In gratitude, I'm posting my top-20 most popular anti-#Brexit/#StopBrexit memes (in no particular order).
1. One of the more recent ones on @DavidDavisMP hypocrisy over his failure to release the Brexit Impact Reports or sector studies or whatever they are, which he testified existed in "excruciating detail"
Release the #BrexitImpactReports #StopBrexit #revokeA50forthwith #FBPE
2. Never has this one on the #Tory Kakistocracy seemed more relevant with @michaelgove throwing #NazaninZaghariRatcliffe under a bus on #Marr to throw a political lifeline to his dangerously incompetent buddy @BorisJohnson
#StopBrexit #exitfrombrexit #revokeA50forthwith #FBPE
