I'll give them this: the Conservatives have brilliant comic timing

I think the Daily Express should stick to fantasy weather forecasts 🤢😱

They really don't. 🤢

Word of the day is ‘absquatulate’ (19th century): to leave in a hurry.

Are we too late to play leavers bingo?

Not content with wrecking the country, they're wrecking all our fun too.😤

HannibalHeyes · 24/05/2024 19:56

He's depriving millions of the joy of watching him lose.

In addition what everything else he's gone out of his way to deprive millions of...

Apologies, I'm on my phone and can't work out how to do links.

Apparently during his visit to Northern Ireland, Sunak was taken to the Titanic Museum 😁

I think it's aboout 120,
79 of them being Tory.

We really could do with a spreadsheet, I haven't found an account doing one yet.

What are the odds on Smug stepping down? Grin

Especially as Electoral Calculus are predicting a significant Labour win Grin (not sure how much of it is also to do with boundary changes).

Grin

I have a feeling the right wing nutters will hang on. The Conservative Party was always going to take a lurch to the right and that’s what I think we’re seeing. Unfortunately I think we’ll see good Tories (and they do exist) now finding themselves politically homeless.

I have no time for the Tories but it’s a sad state of affairs when there is no genuine opposition to hold the Govt to account.

prettybird · 24/05/2024 20:21

The bit that I didn't screenshot was that according to Electoral Calculus, Labour have an 84% chance of winning. Shock

And even if the Reform candidate were to stand which I doubt would happen and all the Reform votes went to the Conservatives, it still wouldn't be enough to save Smug Grin

On a more serious note, I agree with you that any Government needs a decent opposition to hold them to account. Unfortunately, the Conservatives either actively got rid of, or chased away, their more decent wing Sad

This is reminiscent of the 24 hours before Johnson’s resignation when the letters were coming in thick and fast. There must be dropped jaws in Labour HQ.
