I'd just cracked open a beer when the notification came through!

Bloody hell! in between watching stage 1 of the Giro Italia and catching up on this, i'm a nervous wreck!

Well, this just results in DH ogling Orla and wondering if Penny will be the next PM. Grrr.

Cornettoninja · 04/05/2024 20:12

My dd is not convinced that this is exciting for politics Grin

tobee · 04/05/2024 20:14

Virtual arms around you people!

DuncinToffee · 04/05/2024 20:18

Come on give us the result! My years as Everton football fan have thought me not to celebrate before the final whistle

I have just been reminded that Richard Parker is the tiger in Life of Pi.

DuncinToffee · 04/05/2024 20:25

Am I permitted to declare that Andrew Mitchell is stupid or nearly stupid?

No, you cannot but you call him a Pleb!!!

SerendipityJane · 04/05/2024 20:28

Birmingham Mail calling it for Labour.

Notonthestairs · 04/05/2024 20:30

I'd forgotten about the pleb remark - it's been a long decade.

I imagine he is getting nervous for his seat.

Oh, was he the one in the cycle debacle in Downing Street? I’d forgotten about that until just now.

tobee · 04/05/2024 20:36

There's been so many scandals @BIossomtoes

Really???

Alexandra2001 · 04/05/2024 20:41

To name call the men and women who daily put their lives on the line for them is despicable, should never have been allowed in Govt again.

Just 3 years later a Policeman was murdered protecting the 'Commons.

Piggywaspushed · 04/05/2024 20:41

As in, that's the tiger's name.

Oh lol that's disappointing!!

Imagine if he'd been in a blue suit for the AI!!

RafaistheKingofClay · 04/05/2024 20:46

Can’t wait to see how they spin the positives on this. Yesterday’s ‘this result shows people are going to stick with us’ is going to be difficult to pull off.
