Sketchy Politics: Starmy weather | FT 

I've been waiting for sketchy politics since the election was announced

"I don't think Liberal Democrat voters are coherent in what they actually believe" - excellent!

Fiscal drag means the 20% threshold should be £15500, promising to not tax you when you shouldn't be paying tax in the 1st place is taking the p1ss, thresholds are frozen till 2028 Thanks 7 bins and Labour +3 points Cons -2 in the latest polls so the Tories are gone where does the right vote go

Like the format - more (weekly) please.

Brilliant as ever, it's made the whole issue way clearer and made my mind up - I think...

One of the best political seiries ever!!

This was lovely to watch.

Re. "Does the country actually want 'bold or 'radical'?", I'm not sure that's particularly relevant in one sense: whether either chimes with the electorate or not, there is an abiding issue of parties matching their message on the state of the country with their proposals. It's coherent to say "the country's fine but could be better" and "we're going to broadly maintain things with some cautious tweaking", and it's also coherent to say "everything's on fire!" and "here's how we're going to radically overhaul it", but it looks painfully incoherent to say "everything's on fire!" and "we're going to broadly maintain things with some cautious tweaking". If you claim a massive problem, that implies a massive solution that then becomes very apparent in its absence!

Great vids - deserve more views

You'd think that the Conservatives are the only ones who should be talking about Brexit as it served them well in 2019. The fact they are not able to do so says much about the problem facing the Conservative Party this time around. They have had a strong majority for the past 4.5 years and sadly have achieved next to nothing (including a successful post Brexit Britain).

aren't you going to get bad luck for opening the umbrella indoors?

It appears she isn't listening to him as she draws whilst he is speaking.

I can't believe the Tories are going to get low 20s on election day, as some polls show. Blair beat the Tories by about 13% in 97. But the Lab vote was highly efficient in terms of FPTP so got a massive majority. It would be truly historic if the Tories get lower than about 30% in the popular vote.

Where tf is the next sketchy politics 😭

Well, this was a pleasant change from the usual dry analysis. Still it doesn't change the fact that most of us don't have much a choice this election. I can vote for useless local twerp#1 representing the poisonous pixie, or useless local twerp#2 representing the merciless troll. 🤷🏽‍♂

defince??

if this is what Churchill meant by the beauty of democracy, there should be more of it in the UK, the US & India.

England looks like a foreigh country. It's been destroyed. As a native I hate this place with a passion now and want to get abroad somewhere and never come back.

I live the “voluntary military service + compulsory compassionate work. We would build a new generation far superior to our own. 👏👏👏

FT trying to be humorous. Heavy going, almost as dull as the newspaper.

It would be good to hear how Kier Starmer is going to keep both Remainers and Brexiteers happy.

bad lukc to open an umbrella indoors
