As of this morning, Labour is still running a Facebook ad campaign against Christian Wakeford – despite the Bury South MP joining Labour’s own benches on Wednesday. The campaign, which encourages Bury South constituents to “email your Tory MP Christian Wakeford to tell Boris Johnson to resign“, was first listed on 13th January, and is still visible to users living in Wakeford’s home turf. Quite an oversight given Wakeford had – supposedly – been in talks with Labour for months…
Of course, Labour aren’t the only ones playing catch-up with their own exciting news. Wakeford himself still hasn’t updated his personal Facebook page either: the cover image still proudly displays the Conservative logo and branding…
This has now surfaced and will make the easiest attack advert for Bernie…
This is a parody. A parody by the Prime Minister and it works. Probably the best ad of the campaign…
Guido has seen some brutal attack ads in his time, this though. Watch to the end…
Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner is under heavy fire in the Commons over Labour’s student debt u-turn. Sarah Champion threw Corbyn under the bus on the Daily Politics earlier rather than defend the broken promise. Over on Facebook, Tory videos on Jezza’s fantasy policy shambles have now been viewed 1.3 million times in three days, and shared over 50,000 times – more than the vast majority (possibly all) of anti-Labour posts during the election. This is hurting, and deservedly so…
Those wondering about the Facebook digital advertising battlefield should note that the Tories have broken the million views barrier for this attack advert. Labour’s top video has by comparison been seen 324,000 times, just ahead of the top LibDem video which has had 308,000 views. Corbynistas who think the Corbyn / IRA alliance is not a charged third rail issue are deluding themselves…
UPDATE: Has now had 2 million views. Gone properly viral…
