What time was the interview Zonder? I gave up on Today a while ago but it sounds as if it might be worth listening to again.

Here is a short clip

Must have been amazing - there's a thread on her started already! Hit some nerves!

Just saw that. As soon as I saw one poster’s name I knew EB must have nailed it.

A lot of the usual Tory fangirls object to her, so she's clearly getting it right.

I remember the same happened with Susanna Reid

Must have been 8.15 or just after.

Thank you. I’ve just listened to it. The girl done good.

Snap election rumour alert 👀

I heard her finish an interview with a Conservative PCC about not arresting people because of prison overcrowding by pointing out they had acknowledged it was a shit show (not the exact term, I was whooping too much to remember) and pointing out she was a Conservative PCC acknowledging that. No quarter given, I liked it. PCC had been busy obfuscation.

Better not or I'll likely be on holiday. Don't want to miss the fun.

I’m going to miss the fun if it’s in October. I’ll be gutted.

‘Recruit 6,500 new teachers in key subjects to set children up for life, work and the future, paid for by ending tax breaks for private schools’

Sounds a bit like a GCSE student’s proposal. So many holes it’s like a Swiss cheese.

DuncinToffee · 22/05/2024 11:19

This is one of many similar 'something is afoot' tweets.

Don't put your hopes up is my advice

There is Cabinet meeting this afternoon and lots of talk in Whitehall that announcement will come after

Silence from the centre

Some say July 4. But intriguing suggestion from some that the date set may be after the summer. Or even reshuffle

But something is definitely up

July 4 is OK. Will be back then and my redundancy should have been confirmed by then so won't care if I'm too knackered to work the next day 😆.

Notonthestairs · 22/05/2024 11:26

I'm guessing reshuffle.

Although I wonder if their planned a summer election and that plan has gone slightly awry because the interest rates are unlikely to fall before August.

Notonthestairs · 22/05/2024 11:27

it doesn't seem like the hoped for June rate cut will materialise.

IClaudine · 22/05/2024 11:29

Oh god, please let the July 4 rumours be true!

L1ttledrummergirl · 22/05/2024 11:33

July 4th- independence day.

Hunt sounded so patronising then, he had the weaselly sneer in his tone, and how can anyone actually believe that foreign investors buying up houses and renting them out at extortionate rents to workers already being subsidised by the state, is good for the economy?

Incompetence at it's finest on display there.

DuncinToffee · 22/05/2024 11:57

The Westminster rumours this morning

  1. Rishi Sunak will name the date of the November election
  2. Rishi Sunak will call a snap election for July 4
  3. A cabinet reshuffle to kick out those not standing at the next election

No 10 remains silent

OP posts:
Notonthestairs · 22/05/2024 12:03

Well if they will look pretty stupid if they don't call an election now having failed to deny the rumours.

So when did that ever bother them?

DuncinToffee · 22/05/2024 12:31

Sunak is not denying it in PMQs, still banging on with second half of this year.

Snap election rumour alert 👀

"Snap" ?

Never has an election been so anticipated. Dear Rish! has even managed to cock up being able to call a "snap" election. Which really takes some doing.

All he is doing, is confirmed every accusation of running scared.

Notonthestairs · 22/05/2024 12:57

A fourth rumour! That Jeremy Hunt is planning to stand down.

July 4th would suit me too. Come on Rishi!
