Rishi due to tell us at 5pm what the date is - smart money on 4th July perhaps pressaging his inevitable departure for the USA.

Sorry but I think you have unrealistic hopes of what Labour will do. I fear many are going to be disappointed.

It's not unrealistic to imagine Labour could be better. It just isn't.
They won't do a miraculous job and instantly transform everything, but they will 100% be an improvement on this shower of shite.

It's well beyond overdue, yes.

Maybe after Johnsons umbrella incident they can no longer trust tories with one.

Pissing down with rain, soaking wet PM and ‘things can only get better’ drowning out the speech. Very amusing!

They are of the same ilk. The current labour are Torylites.

4th july. Old sleepy joe won't be happy he's stealing their date 😂

Can't wait, tories are finally going to be gone!

Nothing will change. Not for the better anyway.

I mean turning it into anti-labour, anti-starmer is desperate by him (although will appeal to some)

Sunak trashing Starmer in front of Number 10 is absolute shithousery.

His long list of achievements oddly omitting all the shit they have arranged to get pumped into rivers and the sea.

Someone is playing Things Can Only Get Better by D-Ream in the background

Finding this very funny. It was Labour's campaign song back in 1997 when they won the election.

VickyEadieofThigh · 22/05/2024 17:19

Some sort of umbrella might have prevented him getting soaked. I can't help but think this is a metaphor for the Tories' incompetence.

ByKindOpalPoet · 22/05/2024 17:18

I’m waiting for the this is our Independence Day chance BS… loving that things can only get better is being played
