This exactly. In comparison to what is going on in Europe and the US, that should give us all a little national pride this morning I think. Was speaking with a Reform representative yesterday who really believed that Reform was not anything like the far right/hard right parties represented in...

@Bozza - please can you unlock the Liz Truss thread now otherwise people will get upset this thread is too much about her/my posts and not other results? Thanks.

OMG. Is it true? Is it really true? 😳. I just woke up to this https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jul/05/former-tory-prime-minister-liz-truss-loses-her-seat-to-labour I fell asleep in a foul mood at 3am with the light on, still signed in to NSC with the polls saying she was...

As per Royal Tradition dating back to the 1470s, in service of her King , Penny Mordaunt will now raise a Private army to invade Suffolk in defence of the landed gentry of Norfolk.

Anyone that says otherwise need to give their head a wobble - Constituency aside, she is not worth a penny of the tax payers money - social climber, not one ministerial job that she’s shown an aptitude for (let alone left thousands stuck with mortgage payments they are struggling to pay back...

https://news.sky.com/story/exit-poll-what-is-the-forecast-election-result-in-my-constituency-13163180?inApp=true&isDarkMode=false ☹️ Sky news also reporting Truss will hold on to her seat - 85% chance.

The Liz Truss thread was about my own constituency MP, and my personal involvement in the campaign in my constituency, it’s not a general thread about the election so it seems harsh to lock it and prevent me posting feedback on it?

Decided to take Friday off now so I’m definitely be on @Bozza’s all nighter with my pringles, lovely glass of wine, one eye on the TV. I remember Election night 1997 - we had spent most of the night at the Corn Exchange in Brighton at the count, crawled into bed in the wee small hours of the...

I completely forgot about needing Friday off too and today, changed my day off to Thursday 4th to free me up for Polling Day activities but then stupidly said I’d work Friday instead. All nighters are the luxury of youth not the middle aged so by mid-morning Friday I’ll be asleep at my desk. 😎

Long day/evening standing around a polling station first so hoping I‘ll stay the course because there would be no greater satisfaction than seeing Sunak, Truss and the other big Tories scrunch up their faces in rictus smiles and claim it was a ”better night than expected” for them, while Labour...

Oh you aren’t the first one H and for the same reasons :lol: https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/01/it-is-getting-genuinely-hard-to-tell-the-difference-between-a-real-tory-mp-and-a-spoof

Posted above - must be the way you tell ‘em :lol:

Not getting it Harry? - ‘Taking the Michael’? - ‘Michael Take CBE’ is a well known spoof account on twitter - it is an obvious (and rather amusing piss take) on a rather coarse and pedestrian woman who had no qualifications to be a London Mayor) - nevermind but ‘wow’ wasn’t the reaction I was...

Right? I’m just surprised in her ‘concession’ speech, that she didn’t suggest the election was a ‘steal’

Sorry but my comment wasn’t to meant to spark a long involved debate on climate change policies of the mainstream parties, or invite an argument as to why people should vote Labour, just to make a point that both parties are reneging on environmental commitments and are unlikely to meet the...

Well they were in coalition with the SNP in Scotland but they were ejected from Scottish Government in April and the SNP decided to continue as a minority Government and turn their back on key climate change pledges. Even when the Greens do get enough MPs to form a coalition, other parties are...

Compared to a candidate who is an Islamophobic, hard-right, Trump and Truss supporter, who ’liked’ a tweet of an image of Enoch Powell captioned: “It’s never too late to get our London back”? Compared to candidate who promotes online climate science deniers and has opposed all green policies...

Yes it is actually very significant if you know the electorate up here - Norfolk has been a bastion of Conservative support for years and latterly (large rural, agricultural County) - As said, this is the first time in decades that Labour has won any kind of County wide election - I only...
