Not to mention the fact that at this point the Tories have virtually legalised rape, are about to let people convicted of DV out of prison early (and let’s face it how bad does that have to be to get jailed in the first place) and it turns out they aren’t huge fans of banning MPs who’ve been arrested for sexual assault from parliament.

This is a nice thread about Keir Starmer

Are they even running?

Hancock isn’t. I can’t see how restoring the whip to him makes any difference to anything.

Quite. Well said

They’re idiots. Caroline Nokes mentioned them on Peston last night and their attempts to block the election, her view of them was the same as mine. I find it really hard to get my head round her being a Tory, she seems really rational and sensible and normal.

I like this. Shows a bit of quality. Something that's been lacking. Certainly can't imagine the last 3 PMs doing that.

Nutsack (sorry, saw on the Whatsapp thread and it tickled me) certainly couldn't be accused of being thoughtful or generous, despite his billions. Oh, unless you are Rwandan or come over in a small boat, of course. Or even have just been refused asylum here will do.

Ds1 just asked if Liz Truss was standing again, and if so, was the lettuce also standing? Similar to Count binface.

Truss is standing again.

Haven't heard from the lettuce but Count Binface has launched Bindependence Day

The Truss result will be interesting, she’s got a massive majority and got nearly 70% of the vote in 2019.

RafaistheKingofClay · 23/05/2024 23:19

Tory whips have had to ask their MPs not to announce they've decided not to stand all at the same time, so it doesn't look like the entire party has given up.

This is not a joke. I know, everything they say sounds like it's intended to be satire. But this has really happened.

The trouble is, Liz Truss is standing in Norfolk, where the NFN abbreviation is there for a reason...

MrsMurphyIWish · 24/05/2024 07:05

Hoping the burgandy and cream will distract he’s a Tory 🤔

John Redwood standing down at the next election.

Was just about to post this. How many will it be today? It was 5 yesterday. When is the deadline to step down?

Notonthestairs · 24/05/2024 07:47

I honestly can't work out when the deadline is.

DuncinToffee · 24/05/2024 08:31

At this rate they are really going to stick a blue rosette on a donkey.

Utter contempt for the voters

Thanks Duncin.
12 days. 100 odd seats to fill. Wow.

Its as if they havent thought this through.

AdamRyan · 24/05/2024 08:36

It will be hilarious if they can't field candidates in every constituency.

I imagine many of their ex-councillors won't be too keen on the idea of standing for another pasting, or campaigning so soon after the local elections.

Honestly. He really should have gone on Local Election day. This is an utter fiasco 😂

SerendipityJane · 24/05/2024 08:46

I think the best response to the agenda driven posts that have sprouted (like mushrooms on shit) is a simple

"Yes Dear"

or

"No Dear"

as appropriate.
