The daily mail is genuinely hilarious. Awful day for the tories yesterday which every other non tabloid puts on the front page. What do they cover? A poll about King Charles and the Raynor story again.
Braverman sticks the knife into Rishi today which is the top news story on the Times website, Express website, BBC website ect... It's not even on the f***ing Mail website as far as I can tell. Apparently a senior party memeber saying she regrets supporting the PM isn't news.

Anyone fancy some election night "and the votes are in from Narnia, and there has been a massive swing to the fauns, the White Queen appears to be f***ed already" election night hilario binfest thread? If so, I thought I'd put the marker down. Will bounce on the night (if still sober enough to remember as Sunderland south is the first to declare "they think it's all over, it is now, bonny lass"). :rave: :cheery::cool:

I'll be up all night. Just a shame that the Tory MPs are dropping like flies already.

Gove and Leadsom gone just this evening.

However the election canpaign has got off to a cracking start. No matter how bad my day has been I've never had to announce the almost certain loss of my job on live TV in the pouring rain without an umbrella. Glorious.

I understand that what with the announcement in the rain, the emergency rations announcement the day before, the conservative councillors pretending to be 'workers' asking questions, asking Welsh voters whether they are looking forward to the Euros, admitting Rwanda simply won't happen etc etc is just a small taste of the level of incompetence the people who actually manage Britain on a day to day basis, have been putting up with ever since Johnson appointed the most inexperienced cabinet ever.

Luckily we don't need no experts :facepalm:

I think you may have gone to early H. (At least those are the rumours in Easthill :wink:)
Thread bounce is our friend.

I hear Easthill West is no longer up for grabs :wink:

@Harry Wilson's tackle, @Hugo Rune and @WATFORD zero …. did you stay up watching it to early hours/all night, when it was apparent from exit polls at 10pm that the Tories had won eg 2015 and 2019? Or only when that’s not the outcome?

I think I’ve done them all since 79, when just turned a teen.

Great move with the thread. I look forward to the night, talk of snacks etc.

Yes. 100%. I’ll be playing some sort of Tory Bingo game. I’ll have a card printed with the mugshots of the nastiest couple of dozen of ‘em together with a marker to put large cross on their face. A shot of quality scotch will be drunk for each mug crossed out!
Can you post the card? Ideally imbedded into an excel spreadsheet, with thumbnail pics and space to comment on whether the outgoing Muppet took it stoically or cried a bit? ???

I always stay up but yes to be honest if it looks like it isn't going my way I sigh a bit and toddle off to bed around 3 AM. The 97 one was something else. My GF at the time was (and is) a tory, so my whoops and giggles didn't go down especially well.

I like your suggestion. People should post pix of their TV snacks. I predict some banquets :lolol:

Of course.

These are the sort Tories who’ll make the cut.

@Bozza often starts the snacks and drinks talk, I think.

Genuinely, I might buy a couple of Red Bulls. At the last local election, getting old, I was knackered by 2am.

We don't need no experts :facepalm:
It reminds me of the last days of Major, when there was announcement after announcement of desperate 'on the way outers' wanting to spend more time with their family. Or someone else's family.

And brave tory MP's wives stoically swearing to the TV reporters massed outside their weekend place, that the big-titted 16 year old intern their MP hubby had been seen dining with was a 'friend of the family'.

Just like those days again. Except with slightly more class*, and considerably more craven calculating stupidity.

*Trying to be kind, here.

I still haven't decided who I'm writing on my ballot paper. At the moment it's a toss up between Paula Vennells (who would make an excellent politician) and Larry the Cat.
