It's so clearly a spoof ( it says 'A website by Conservative Party in the middle of the landing page!! )
There is absolutely no way on this planet that anyone would be taken in by this and assume it was a genuine Labour site!

That being said - Once again is it factually incorrect?

1. Does Labour have a cohesive plan for Brexit?

2. Is Labour proposing higher taxes?

3. Is Labour proposing a second EU Referendum and a second Scottish Referendum?
Either way ..its going to bite Boris ...badly!!
Don’t think it will bite boris, Labour, I don't really care (their manifesto today is a car crash).

They could fact check this on their own web site.

Oh those pesky young imps having fun at Tory head office creating fake web sites for the Labour Manifesto. Got to larf. I assume Boris has given it the stamp of approval.

Cummings learnt a lot from the US input I suppose.

Curious about your concern here - given your view that relatives/loved ones are not victims
That is not a view that I have ever held or expressed, so you will have to ask someone else. While you are at it, look up piss taking 101. It can come in handy when adventuring on the internet. HTH.
Ahh, I see you're hiding behind your "I wuz only joking, honest!" defence.
Never mind, it's not the kind of things I would make jokes about personally, or take the piss out of, but each to their own I suppose.
That your choose to sit joylessly high, high up on your high and Queen Victoria stylee high horse is a matter for you. I think that jokes at the expense of tabloid headline writers and Tory policy spinners are not a bad thing at any time, and especially not now. No one is compelled to laugh at anything, or indeed compelled not to laugh at anything. You do you.

So what group are responsible for "fair play" during an election (assuming there is such a thing) ?

Tories seem intent on misleading people this week.

How much more can they get away with before they are in trouble ?

On the other hand, are they really that desperate they have to keep trying cheap tricks ?

Boris was on the radio driving home, talking about how terrible the Labour Manifesto is, as usual he doesn't sound calm and measured, just a jumble of words thrown together.

None of that matters to his fans. He will "Get Brexit done". Even that is a lie, but the fans don't care.
I understood Brexit to mean the act of leaving the EU. Which we will do, given a Tory majority, in January, once the last of the mince pies have been digested.
The subsequent trade talks are post-Brexit. Boris's statement / slogan is, therefore, not a lie.

Except that until a trade deal is done we'll still be paying the EU and still abide by their rules.

So we will have left, still abiding by the EU rules, in other words all of the downsides and none of the positives of being in the EU.

Strikes me thats the worst possible situation to be in ?

This.

You are paying a very tiny percentage of the legal fees of the Government. The case is not aimed to bring the dead man back. It is to ask the Government for some transparency about why the driver was able to hoof it.
Out of interest, what is the normal procedure for court cases brought like this? If the people bringing the case lose, do they usually have to pay costs?

There are fans, but to others it's still a matter of the least worst alternative.

For one of the alternatives, public uncertainty will be short-lived as organisations including the IFS get to comb through the Labour Party comic released today. It's packed full of marxist fantasy but their fans won't care. The difference is that these fantasists aren't the least worst alternative. This was previously evident and is becoming more so.

Those sort of things are even funnier when they're true or even true-ish. That would confer more style.

It's a good thing to be able to laugh at all sides of the current farce but that's a chuckle and nothing more due to being on the slab side of thick too frequently, a typically unsubtle and hyperbolic left field approach.

There's downsides? I was under the impression there were no downsides according to here.

Wish they would put some effort into it. Torys promise everyone a free 99 or something.

Why are they introducing segregation between men and women?
Men on one side and women on the other. Disgusting.
I assume Diane's taking the train, I wonder if she's sharing her booze with Dawn Butler and anyone else not allowed on the bus.

Now if the driver of the bus was to fall asleep at the wheel and hit a bridge support would it be THAT bad?

The general rule in all litigation is yes, but when a public interest issue is raised then the answer may be no. Given the nature of the issues raised by the Dunn case, it would be pretty standard for the Gov not to seek costs if successful.

As for buses, the Tory bus has apparently broken down somewhere a bit Council. The Tories are not letting the Mirror on, but apparently Fox and whatnot are invited.
