And Gillian Keegan is on Sky laughing at the idea that homeless people could be arrested because they smell before admitting the hasn't read the bill

Probably laughing because only HE knows what the British public want.

Was it hysterical laughter? What a time to be PM - the PM with shortest term in political history followed a PM leading their party to the biggest defeat in over 100 years, if the polls are to be believed. What a glorious time to be a Tory.

Just like a MN thread

Gillian Keegan: Labour have said they will not continue with free child care

Sally Nugent: That's not true

GK: They said they'd stop this policy

SN: They said they were going into consultation... we're here to talk about your policy..

She really shouldn’t be in charge of a fecking lucky bag let alone an education minister.

Keegan is a horrible woman, extremely wealthy, she just looks down on ordinary people and like many Tories, has no interest in improving conditions for the people of the UK, just for herself and people like her.

shouldn’t be in charge of a fecking lucky bag

🤣🤣🤣

If she can dismiss valid concerns about the Criminal Justice Bill without reading it you can guarantee she'll also vote for it without reading it.

Pointless waste of space as a minister - but then they are all nothing more than place holders now. Just wasting our time, energy and money.

Keegan’s the one that wants to be told what a fucking good job she’s doing isn’t she?

Yep, everyone else was sitting on their hands according to her (which reflects well on the rest of the party obviously).

New Electoral Calculus figures are looking great for the Tories, what with Reform fragmenting their voter base. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/homepage.html

Tbh I don't like to see majorities that big. All parties have their nutters and massive majorities encourage silliness.

@countrygirl99 I don't either, but the Tories have brought this upon themselves. I hope it will prompt them to return to a One Nation style of conservatism, or splinter that way.

And of course the polls will narrow - but I would still like witness the political annihilation of the Tories as they are now. It is the boot in the arse they need and deserve.

I think it might stop Labour worrying so much actually and they might make braver decisions. They are so pussy footed at the moment.

Fingers crossed for a healthy majority with a Tory annihilation and a broad spectrum of parties opposition.
Planning to stock up on strong coffee to keep me awake and booking the next day off. I haven't stayed up all night for an election since 79 when youth got me through.

The plan is in there, deep under a sleeping cat and all the clean socks.

I'm also planning to stay up, last time I did that was 1997.

Maybe it will be the push towards a PR voting system.

I'm planning to stay up. Last time I did that was 1997 too.
I'm in Scotland. Post April 1st new legislation coming into force here I'm really mindful of what I post. I don't know how to vote. I can't vote Tory (obviously).
I can't vote SNP. My Ds (1st time voter) will vote Labour prob. Dd is too young.

I think it'll be the exact opposite, unfortunately.

I am planning an election night party. I've already got the bunting and balloons.

I am so looking forward to this thread on election night already!

I reckon we will need more than one.

One an hour?

That isn't beyond the realms of possibility given how active and political we all are.
