"Ah, you're from Brighton? Yes, I learnt my English in Brighton. Get out my faackin' way, you faackin' caant."

There's a lot of stone washed denim going on there. France is broken in so many ways.

PM sent

That’s pretty much what I’ve done all my career tbf (Except when I worked in the public sector; then I’d start the weekend Tuesday afternoon). :dunky:

I t And I’d say you’ve every right to be. We all should be. I’ve read quite a few dismissive posts on here regarding Reform and Farage since Thursday; but I believe when we look back in years to come, the story of this election just gone will be the emergence of Reform. Over 4 million votes...

Plus, he’ll be really handy if anyone needs their shoes repaired or wants a spare key cut.

Absolutely not. I believe our own @LamieRobertson is a Hedge Manager. (He also does contract grass cutting and strimming).

Yup - I like the Ipswich pinstripes. Although, for me, a contrasting white colllar plus sleeve hems would have ‘lifted’ the whole design. As it is, it looks a bit dark. 8/10

No different to the 5 constituencies that elected independents, standing on a single-issue pro-Gaza platform. Firstly, not sure what they will be able to do to influence what’s happening in the Middle East and secondly, how effective will they be when it comes to day-to-day constituency...

Nice kit. Adidas have done a good job for you there. So much better than last season with different colour strips on each shoulder

:lolol: It’s been a long night with no sleep. This is my favourite political insight of the past 36hrs.

Ha, really? Genuinely hadn't heard that. I've been tuned in BBC throughout, although I do like a bit of Alastair Campbell.

Weirdly, I believe Sir Kier will be a far, far better PM than he was Leader of the Opposition. I think he is a thoroughly decent and principled bloke, who is genuinely in politics for reasons of public service. The serious business of being PM will suit him far better than being LoHMO and I wish...

:ohmy: The lovely Pam and Mick are from Billericay, not Baz and East Furrock!

That’s what the data on my tv screen says so far. A 2% increase in vote share on a turnout that’s down 8%. It’s just maths. But yes, it could well change.

At work earlier today, I guessed Conservative 115 ( and I guessed 450 for Labour, which maybe I overcooked a bit).

Starmer has the lowest approval or popularity ratings in history of any incoming PM. And I thought you like data? Oh well. If you genuinely believe this result is because the public have connected with Labour in huge numbers then so be it. I disagree but knock yourself out with the smilies etc.

You’re confusing being more popular than something everybody hates, with being popular because everybody likes you. Yes, they will be the government but not because they are any more or less popular than they were 5 years ago.

Rory Stewart predicted on The Rest Is Politics the other evening that the immediate fall out from this election would be about electoral reform.

You’ll have to point me to where I said that? But on early results it seems that Starmer hasn’t managed to galvanise any popular support or ‘connect with the people’ as Streeting claimed. It’s just the same as it was before but the Tory party has collapsed. Seems pretty straightforward.
