Sunak must be really really really really desperate to call on Flopsy for help

It's all comparative. Would corbyn have partied during covid? Would he have set up schemes for his friends to get rich? Would he have missed 5 cobra meetings?
We will never know but I would think he would still have been better than johnson, Truss and sunak but it is a low bar. I think may, Cameron and major would have all been better than him

I don't believe talk of a supermajority (whatever that means). Turning around 2019 was a huge mountain to climb. Yes the tory failures have shrunk the mountain but it still needs the biggest ever electoral swing to form a govt.That would be incredible....but I think a reasonable number of seats are pretty close, so could go a different way if the "undecideds" don't vote how the models predict. But fingers crossed they're right
Shy tories and reform coalition may return home in the privacy of the ballot box. Even previous poor tories have got c30% votes
They realised it was actually quite popular IIRC as people heard it and thought “change all this shit that’s broken? Hell yes.”

Our local free paper had an ad asking us to re-elect Nus Ghani. Must be an Independent as there was no mention of a party anywhere. Not one.

No wonder he wanted to stand down this time.
Certainly won't be the last ex-Tory minister / MP to be jumping on the bank / energy company / venture capitalist bandwagon for consultancies and non-exec directorships after Thursday. Their greedy snouts in the trough.

No mention of her party on the front of election leaflet either.

I think you mean Eeeney Stannit. #onefortheteenagers
Edit. Looking for the clip, I found it was Morny Stannit. I would have bet money it was Eeeney Stannit. And the clip is blocked. Grr.

Following The Sun's announcement I've now got Bob Dylan, 'Positively 4th Street' stuck in my head.

Rishi Sunak has confided to members of his inner circle that he is fearful of losing his Yorkshire constituency at the general election, the Guardian has been told.
The prime minister, who would be the first sitting leader of the country to lose his seat, told confidants before a Conservative rally on Tuesday that he thought the vote in Richmond and Northallerton was too close to call.

Fearful or hopeful?

Imagine he is desperate to lose his seat. He will be on the first private jet to the states.

And if he wins it, do those who will return him seriously believe he will be a faithful constituency MP for the next 5 years?
