*ahem*
if the sane among us had any real sense, we'd all (scootland, nornirn, josey wales) just bugger off back to the eu, with both feet, and leave lil england to strut its stuff on the world stage, dominating trade an stuff. majestic. happy and glorious for evermore. a world bleeder once again.

Graham Stringer in what was his first time as an MP I think.
I have a long history of voting for Brexiteers it seems

No, it's partisan (or a mistake).
Conservatives stand no chance in Hallam.
So no need to vote tactically to stop them.
Vote Labour or LD according to preference.
The "facts" Tony cites are irrelevant to this argument.
Until getvoting changes its recommendation for Sheff Hallam, it can't be trusted.

I guess it depends on how you define a tactical voting site. If the definition is the most likely ‘remain’ party to win in a given seat then there is no issue. I’d have thought the LDs clearly were in Sheffield Hallam, plus they are more ‘remain’ than Labour, and therefore well within the criteria. What you are arguing for is that all non-Tory or Brexit Party marginals be removed from the equation, and to my mind that is a different thing and also quite partisan.

He's approaching national treasure status.
Hadn't clocked that getvoting were recommending voting Lib Dem in Kensington. Against a Labour incumbent. Labour and Tories both on 42% in 2017, Lib Dems on 12%. I mean, this is...not good advice.

Well, yeah. I thought the idea was to stop a far-right Tory government and hard-Brexit. Anything else at this stage is partisan and creates rancour between voters that urgently need to get their shit together and cooperate.
Labour policy: second referendum with Remain on the ballot.

Lib policy to revoke, so at least 50% more remainy!

More realistically, both Labour and LD are offering a confirmatory referendum (I assume—we'll see when the manifestos are available).

If one's main motivation is Remain then the following would seem obvious:
#1 Do not vote Tory.
#2 Vote/Tactically vote for a Remain party (Labour, LibDem, Green, SNP) as required.
#3 Do not attack other Remain parties (Labour, LibDem, Green, SNP).
I think Remainers need to get to that point before worrying about exactly how to tactically vote.
It gets more complicated if you are a Leave voter but not keen on the Tories

Happy Die in a ditch day everyone!
Apparently, John Culshaw called Farage on LBC pretending to be Trump and talking bigly about him forming a pact with Johnson.
Or not. Hard to tell these days.

It's unambiguous and cuts to the chase. Not Tony's way - it's how it is.
Note, I'm not saying bite. But lets call a spade a spade.
