Labour braced for significant losses in north and Midlands
Theresa May seen as best leader in Brexit-voting towns, say candidates
 
Conservatives in the London area confirm that Labour’s vote is holding up well in the capital. “Corbyn isn’t as toxic here, even in the outer boroughs,” said one veteran Tory campaigner. “But it will be a very different picture in the Midlands and the north, very different.”

This turns out to be an incredibly vacuous article the contents of which are very information-light and don't really match up with the headline. So about standard for election coverage then.

No, they're friends without the need for any "" marks.

Anyway, that would be amusing, but it would also mean breaching a very longstanding (and to them very important) point of principle.

Can we perhaps please not post actual dead cat smear stories here? Why the fyck are so many of you, longtime posters often and people who should know better, so committed to turning to turning this place into a festering sewer?

And I'd say the same if someone linked to some paranoid sh!t in the fycking Canary and if people responded it to it with apparent seriousness. If this is the sort of thing you people here like now, fine. Have fun with it. Just don't expect anyone to be sorry when it gnaws away and your insides and leaves you a worthless emotionally barren husk.
