Thread 38 Sunak: Soooo, square one is an option then?

[AdamRyan]

Thanks to @cornettoninja For the epic title!

GG was voted in through a democratic vote, Sunak and others might not like that but in fairness GG is a lot less dangerous than Farage, Sunak would have that man back in the Tory party.

I guess Sunak values right wing nutters more than left wing ones?

Surely this speech must be a bit more than Rochdale?

Not a general election. It is about “protecting democracy”

aw, Liz has only just gotten on board the ‘democracy is dead’ fad. He’s going to make her look all uncool and like a twat again.

Shame Sunak wasn't more interested in protecting democracy in 2019, when he was part of a government that unlawfully prorogued Parliament.

Yes. Probably about the Willy Wonka Experience ...

Don't get it, the lectern is supposed to be about v important stuff.

The Rochdale by election is democracy in action, can't cry "Protect Democracy" just because you don't like the result.

Especially as he is backing Anderson and his attacks on a democratically elected Mayor.

Maybe ask why the DM held this information until it was impossible for Lab to get another candidate?

Just had a thought that they're going to say Russia somehow interfered with the vote and now we can't have a GE Let's hope that's my over active imagination...

He’s going to talk about protecting democracy? In a non ironic way?

Wait a minute while I stop laughing.

Chris Bryant on X said that if it's about protecting MPs , the announcement should be made in Parliament.

The Tories are doing very badly in the recent polls.

Maybe he is just going to waffle a bit rather announce something? Or he will announce something feeble.

Oh for Gods sakes, there is only reason we want the bloody lectern wheeled out again - to call an election.

Who else thinks we'll be none the wiser after he makes his statement? About anything?

I’m hoping 🤞

My bet is on banning the protest in London.

I think that will just encourage protests.

Me!

Can't see what there is to say, just looks like a bid to grab the limelight from Galloway.
But he'll just end up looking weak.

He can't ban protests anywhere.

He wants to do it inside because it's raining

It's going to be delayed because the decision has been made to do it inside No 10. Raining halts play.

What?? Do they not have big brollies??

Lol!

This has all the elements of farce

I was actually just idly thinking the vain one had waited until the rains held off.

Oh , here he is.

He's out.

Just came on to say who thought a statement at 5.30 in the rain was a good idea but see they’ve moved it inside.

They really are hilariously bad at this stuff.

Don't get our hopes up place

Early days but apparently a democratic vote in Rochdale is now something we must all fight against.....

😂😂
