Is it too late to change your mind?

On beheading: I voted not to be beheaded, but as the majority voted for me to be beheaded, we should have followed through with it years ago when the referendum took place.

He could at least have worn some green wool. This way he just shows that he doesn't care about local issues.

She's fine. She apologised and had two sources. It's not like she made anything up. That would be crazy. No one world ever be employable after doing that as a journalist...

Interesting to see undecided voters getting more and more put off by Boris.
Still alot of just wanting brexit to be sorted out by whatever means though. -
Well, she can prove that she didn't make it up by naming the two conservative sources that lied to her.

No one will make her give up sources. Although I'm not sure what is the normal journalistic behaviour when sources lied to you.

At least Laura Ks summary of the day seems balanced:
BBC News - General election 2019: Boris Johnson's bad day shows election not over
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50722167Wait, 'punch' in the penultimate paragraph?
She's got to be trolling.

Is Kuenssberg playing the SEO game or have I drank the koolaid?
The story, and the prime minister's weird and wooden response to it, provided the perfect chance for Labour to punch at one of the Conservatives' vulnerabilities
Currently if you Google "Kuenssberg labour punch" the results aren't flattering: https://www.thenational.scot/news/18090162.laura-kuenssberg-faces-criticism-tory-punch-claim/

Guido Fawkes was up to it yesterday too.
Posting faked WhatsApp message extracts to back up the weird conspiracy theory that Labour were paying protestors taxi fares.
Feels very coordinated with Cummings to be honest.
Why do I think they are faked? The extracts use the same blurred font and non phone resolution of the major fake WhatsApp message generators which all leave telltale signs.

this is an excellent and necessary article

Finally, take the role of international diplomatic institutions. Corbyn has a longstanding liberal (not ‘two campist’) commitment to international institutions’ capacity to constrain military conflict: a position that contrasts starkly with many so-called liberal centrists’ eagerness to unilaterally bomb, invade, occupy and devastate entire countries and regions on the flimsiest of geopolitical pretexts...
... the centrist pundits are correct when they argue that this election is at base a contest between liberalism and illiberalism. They are correct when they say that liberalism is in danger. They are simply wrong in their diagnosis of the risks. In fact, despite the anti-leftist phantasmagoria that dominates our media ecosystem, Corbyn’s Labour offers exactly the moderate, mixed economy, politically liberal alternative to reactionary populism that ‘centrist’ liberals claim to desire. Ironically, our best hope for a progressive political liberalism now rests in the electoral victory of a Corbynist movement that has been relentlessly attacked in the name of progressive liberalism. Defend liberalism against its nominal defenders: vote Labour on December 12th.
