Anything from the right wing nutters yet?
Mogg, braverman, Patel, Leadsom, Truss, Anderson etc?

(I'd have added elphicke to that list too....)

Sunak is in the Titanic Quarter.

First the rain puns, then the brewery puns and now the sinking ship.

Where will his Comms team send him next?

Is this some revenge plot by Boris Johnson, who seems extremely childish and petty? Get the comms team to mess up big style.

From the Telegraph. Sunak’s denying it. 😂

Lord Frost has been barred from standing as a Tory candidate in the general election.

The former Brexit negotiator, who is on the Right of the party, had been willing to resign from the House of Lords to fight for a place in the Commons.

But it is understood that Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) has refused to put him on a list of approved candidates for the July 4 election.

As a result, he has been told by Tory bosses that he cannot apply to stand in any of the 93 seats for which the party’s candidate has not yet been selected.

What is the point of the House of Lords if you can just pop in and out when it takes you ?

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

Utter contempt for the voters

Well Starmer has a field they can use as they like to keep reminding us as if it proves some random point Wink

The point of the HoLs is to have something to offer party donors.
Occasionally some sensible ones slip through the net but the Conservatives have tried hard to stop that happening.

In all the excitement I missed that a prediction had been updated.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/prediction_main.html

Did Sunk have a relaunch in May, which is why the Cons vote share has fallen?

It was the things are unsafe under the Tories so you should trust us launch where he was upstaged by a waterborne parasite led me than 24hrs later.

MNHQ have said if you report GE threads not in the GE forum they "may" move them.

(Bearing in mind they made the forum, not me)

Who remembers all the Brexit discussions disappearing from view because "some" posters were upset and demanded they go in their own forum (which still exists) ?

IClaudine · 24/05/2024 17:38

Given the absolute bonkerishness of most of the GE threads I'd welcome them being shuffled off to the GE board so I can hide them all.

Which is exactly what happened to the Brexit threads.

Bearing in mind it doesn't suit the shillbots to have all that hard work where nobody can see it, it will be interesting to see how they prevail on a site that proclaims itself neutral.

Starmer taking various questions from workers at a building depot in marginal seat in NW, covering off pensions, potholes, defence spending, leaseholders, NHS. In GE campaigns, public interactions often very controlled but this was unfiltered

Is Lord Frost wanting out of the HoLs because he knows Labour will win abolish it?

How many election campaign launches is he going to have?
I think we up to 2 or 3 already?

A bit more like John Major and his soap box, than Rishi rushing around to hide from voters?

No, it’s because he can’t bear the thought of becoming a complete irrelevance and wants to draw an MP’s salary.

Already folk hiding the GE 2024 forum. What a shame. Shillbots will havce to got back and ask AI how to worm the election into a thread about baking. And if I were them, don't be surprised if ChatGPT (other models are available) suggests something about "book cooking"

Unfortunately I can see that objectively Tice is a very good looking man. Should I be worried about myself?

6 days ago the Labour campaign coordinator was in the Shire to open a new campaign office in our town centre.

In what kind of disaster movie election does Shrewsbury become a Labour target seat worth sending such a senior person to open an office?

I know what you mean, but it’s classic good looks going inexorably to seed, facial lines from twisting around racist words too many times, cruel demeanour of a man rarely told “No” in any area of his life.

Or what you get when you order Rupert Campbell Black from Wish.

Michael Gove is standing down. I'll have to remove from my bingo card.
