[Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July

[ROSM]

Just realized why Sunk is going early. It's to catch out Labour who are not quite fully prepared for an election campaign.

By this means he is hoping to reduce Labour's majority to several dozen, rather than scores.

Genius!

I think Labour have been ready from the moment pat mcfadden was put in charge and Sue grey joined.

Tories hopeful that the daily mails favourite policeman (chief con of GMP) charges Angela Rayner for her potential £1500 tax error.

If it is July 4 I'll be flying back from The Netherlands for a work trip and will be home at approx 7pm. Might have to hedge against flight delays with a postal vote.

I assume that the Tories have picked July as students will be at home and not in their University constituency

I was also in the Netherlands for the last election on a work trip. Postal vote was maximised!

So Jimmy Anderson could well outlast one last Prime Minister (the Lord’s test being the week after)

Can't wait, it's about time. Give it a couple of years and I expect we will all be feeling wealthier and the the NHS will thrive to be better than it has ever been. Keir will nail these Eaton lads, bring it on Rishi, you're going to get one hell of a beating.

I got abused by one last time when I handed him his leaflet back after he ignored my 'no tory or ukip leaflets' sign.

The candidate then had to resign as a councillor as he had been done for drink driving and tried to lie his way out of it

I was leafletting a council estate in 1997 for Labour. I put one through a letterbox, a bloke came out, waved the leaflet and shouted “You can stick that up your arse”. I gave him a jolly wave and said “I’ll put you down as undecided shall I ?"

only problem with that plan is that I think Labour are quite prepared. For example they've been actively campaigning round my neck of the woods (staunch Tory but a definite Labour target) for a while now

He's been around longer than NSC

Yup.

Labour, in effect, went last week on the campaign.

Starmer sets out what Labour would do first - BBC News

The Labour leader promises more teachers and more NHS appointments in major pre-election speech.

Very surprised he didn't wait until he got a plane off to Rwanda

 

[Durlston]

Emma Radacanwho will have been knocked out of Wimbledon by then as well.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Sunak is late, or has he run away.

Very surprised he didn't wait until he got a plane off to Rwanda

Sophy Ridge reckons it’s while Rwanda still works as a threat, a plane having taken off but the boat numbers rising even more would be a nightmare scenario

We import nine tenths of all of our pears. We import two thirds of our cheese.

That. Is. A. Disgrace

You were doing well until you mentioned the NHS.

 

[Peteinblack]

I am rather looking forward to telling the Tory door-to-door campaigners to get off my property. That'll be fun.

When they knocked on our door last time, and said "Can we rely upon your vote?", Mrs Peteinblack calmly replied: "My husband works in education, and I work in the NHS, so what do you think?". They beat a hasty retreat!

That's the fault of the Deep State and the Woke!

God I miss her. At least we had some laughs.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Here we go.

The Prime Minature does look very nervous!
