General Election 2024

Thinking back to the clip, Farage references Naz Shah MP as sending out comms in a different language, as evidence in Oldham. Naz Shah is the MP for Bradford not Oldham. So the suggestion that his geographic knowledge is a bit sketchy stands up.

Kensington and Chelsea is at 42.11%

Presumably that's mostly Russian.

I think there's a lot of different languages there, certainly there's a lot of French people in South Ken at least - the Lycee is there.

He’s buying a title I assume.

Quite a few Russians also (edit - I missed TTT's post above). And all the foreign students in the Imperial College halls of residence off Exhibition Rd (and a couple of other places).

The point is - the right kind of immigrants: white and moneyed.

Dogs everywhere pricking up their ears and cocking their heads....

Can I vote against the Web design?

Yes, but there will be many tens of thousands of people who watched the debate, who will not hear or read the updated story.

Of course the thing to really look at here is the age of those who don't use English as their primary language/don't speak English well.
BUT OBVS THAT'S NOT BEING DONE.

Are you talking about the suburban white kids speaking jafaican?

I can't believe this could be true in my area.

Don't really want to bring politics into my nursery and school chat groups, but when it's that close I feel like I should.

Trask claimed his preferred bra size measurement technique was "hand
sizing them by feel," adding in a post that a "more detailed
inspection with my lips and tongue" might be needed "for accuracy"

Local Tory selected for us…

Ms da Costa was an advisor to both Theresa May and Boris Johnson, as well as giving policy advice to Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch.

Fuck.

I mean, she may have advised Badenoch where she could shove her policies?

Well she was directly implicated in prorogation of parliament so she can shove that up her own arse.

Was there meant to be a NOT in that? Not sure what you mean otherwise.

It is. Sort of. That initial batch of data does include differences between adults and non adults who speak English.

More importantly, there is a separate measure on household proficiency. I have that too.

The highest % of houses where English (or Welsh) is not the main language AND where people describe themselves as not speaking English well, is only 9.9% and that is in Leicester.

The numbers for Oldham are only 3.9%

Just because people choose to not speak English, doesn't mean they are unable to speak English.

Indeed. Corrected now. Thanks

7 million people got a BBC news 'Breaking News' push update on their phone the next day with "Sunak accused of lying about tax" so approx 2 million more than saw the debate

TV is so last century :) and newspaper headlines? LOL

edit - The Guardian did a bit on it as it's the new battleground

I think you'd need to be reasonably interested in the election to watch that shit show of a debate in which case you're probably going to see the followup on twitter or BBC website or news or whatever.

i think he was made into a viral clip for accepting gifts from heineken or something by ian hislop

i'm pretty interested in the election, but there's no way i'm wasting any of my time watching a TV debate when i can read about it the next day once it's been properly scrutinised.

I'd bet that 95% of the people who watched the debate are engaged to some degree with politics and only watched to see "their guy" win. Nobody will have been swayed by anything

He's a she. Maybe someone else who was part of prorogation?
