Summary

So, it’s finally happening: we’re having another General Election. On December 12, the UK will vote yet again, and we have an opportunity to elect a socialist Labour government led by Jeremy Corbyn. However, as the full TF crew of Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice @AliceAvizandum discuss on this episode, we have to counter wave upon wave of disingenuous nonsense from dumb British media and useless centrist parties like the Lib Dems. *Register to vote* You can do this here — it’s fast! https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote *Do some canvassing* Momentum (@peoplesmomentum) has a great resource that lets you sign up to canvassing events in marginal seats close to you.
