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

Totally embarrassed and fuming how they treated our PM - the stupid childish Labour noise has reinforced my reasons to vote Conservative

What behaviour? Or do you hate the fact that a teenage mother has done well?

I reckon Rishi wants the summer out of work off.

To make the most of the school holidays in California before the kids start their new schools there maybe? 🤣

fridascruffs · 22/05/2024 18:39

Bloody 4 July, how many people will be on holiday? Did he do this deliberately to limit turnout? I've asked for a postal vote but I'm wondering whether it will arrive after I've left. They're very vague about timings on the gov.uk site. they'll send it out 'shortly before the election.' When is that? A day? A week? A month? I want to vote in this one. Then crack the champagne, hopefully.

Did you vote last time round?

I don't think you can really complain about the shit that other people elect if you can't be bothered to use your own vote.

Never voted. Not going to start now

Well, if he hasn't got one, he has a week, at best to come up with one.

As I say, in a years time, most people will realise that we have got rid of a dog-shit government and voted in a pig-shit one. Either way, it's gonna be shit.

Show quote history

Of course he has a plan. And it'll be in the manifesto.

Given that the Tories already have form for nicking Labour ideas, it's no surprise that they've been keeping their cards close.

And ok, so we've already had
'they have no plan'
'women'
'they're going to be worse'

So we can now all go to bed, thread is complete.

How do you know he hasn’t got a plan? Have you had a sneak preview of the manifesto?

But the shoo-in is a man without a plan. In times like these, thats just suicide.

I'm absolutely fuming. Poor PM getting soaking wet & some twat playing that loud music. Sometimes I'm so ashamed to be British.
I know that won't go down well with all the Labour lovers here. I'm getting on in years - I remember what a mess they made of the country in the past. And will again.

😂

Also as pressed too early- don't you think the country is in a mess already?
I'll start to be proud of being British again if the Tories bog off and we get the chance to feel half decent again

I have an awful feeling that come 5th July 2025, we will realise that we made a huge mistake.

No kier starmer is a conservative in a red tie.... he's never said anything about what he wants to do and just backs everything the conservatives say and do.... 2 sides of the same coin, I'm afraid.

What’s he backed that the Tories have said or done?

Well I don't think things will improve much, but we can't limp along like this.

Won't get any chance of change for the better either if we don't get the Tories voted out.

Oh I agree - want some facts from the poster rather than sweeping generalisations.

Completely disagree. She’s got more integrity in her little finger than the whole of Sunak’s cabinet combined.

He should have used that giant briefing room they spent a fortune on

That would imply a level of joined up thinking and general competence though. Why break the habits 14 years in the making. 😁
