Oh, even if their plan succeeds there isn’t a way constitutionally this could happen. But it’s hilarious watching them try.

For me, the last election was like Palace v Portsmouth. I couldn't find a decent word to say about either of them and whilst we would never know, I'd wager a Corbyn government would have been a complete shitshow during COVID and the ensuing war in Israel every bit as bad as Boris's was.
This one is more like Hartlepool v Rochdale. I know both teams are totally shit and I don't really care about either. I'll vote for the least worst but it's National League either way. I can see a record number of CBA this election.

Nonsensical comment.
How did your wager on Brighton v Leverkusen go tonight?

Couldn't even get a bet on. What's the world coming to?
Don't get me wrong, I'll vote Labour but I just watched Starmer on the news. He makes Potter look like Churchill.

Suicide note from Sunak. Pretty much a recognition that nothing is going improve between now and the end of the year so may as well bite the bullet now. Expect a Labour landslide.
Sadly, I can't remember a time when I felt more disengaged from our 'elected representatives'.
Guess I'm just getting old. Most of them appear to have the directional integrity of a windsock; their opinion on policy appears driven by whatever hysteria is trending on social media.

I suppose it is technically possible if they can expedite things significantly, but that would mean someone like Graham Brady having to essentially be fully on board and waive the rules, then assumes they have the numbers both for letters (53) and votes to kick him out (170+) and have a unifying figure they can bring in who has the widespread support in the party (unlikely).
Or I could lick and stick my finger in the air
That's what she..............................eh, not that good.
Yes. The Tories are already saying this is a 'good election to lose' as they know the country is so f***ed that it'll be too much for anyone to fix. Might as well sabotage the incoming government just to be really sure.

5Live just re broadcast an excerpt from Sunak's announcement yesterday.... no hint of irony when he said " Vote for me as Prime Minister of a Conservative government and let me get on with rebuilding our country "....so just don't look back at the last 14 years !

If anybody caught bbc breakfast or radio 4 this morning then you will have seen our glorious leader making a complete pigs ear of day 1 of the campaign.
He has chosen a long election run (6 weeks) rather than the minimum (4) so as to try and catch labour out hoping they will crumble under scrutiny. Yet in less than 24 hrs he had the poorly planned/poorly executed announcement yesterday. Throwing sky news out of his 1st stump meeting last night and then getting skewered by nick robinson and then getting tetchy on radio just after admitting on tv that there will be no Rwanda flights pre the election and therefore may never happen (all after spending half a billion)

I don't think they do really... it's just something to write.. the flow of bullshit resembles our Water authorities
Maybe that was the hope?
Rishi certainly lost his rag on Radio 4 this morning.
Not quite a total car crash interview - but definitely a prang.
Petulant rather than Prime Ministerial.
He’s not a good campaigner. The old public school “how dare you question me” attitude flares up and he simply cannot hide his disdain for anyone who dares push him on answers.
He gets annoyed when people ignore his three word slogans and press him for real content.
He’s a bit of a knob.
There you go. Sunk is telling us all about it now on radio 5.
The tories have been through Labour's promises and it will require an increase in tax that will cost every man and woman an extra £2,000
And Starmer wants to offer an amnesty to illegal immigrants.
Crikey.

My favourite line that he has been repeating over the last few hours 'I have got inflation down from the 11% it was when I took this job'. If I was him, I would have given a f***ing good kicking to whatever Chancellor oversaw inflation getting up to 11% in the first place ....... Oh
Has Rishi mentioned his dad was a GP and his Mum was a pharmacist yet?
