Who is playing "things can only get better"?

[ssd]

Good on them

Steve Bray, & it was excellent 😆

Proper belly laugh at it

Well done them

Enjoy a generation in obscurity cunts

Steve Bray. The man who the Tories have written all sorts of anti protest legislation to remove. I believe he’s just been issued an order by the police and is currently banned from all roads around Whitehall. But he’s been waiting for this moment for a while.

Throwing parties at downing street while small children weren't allowed too strikes me as substantially more immature

He needs a knighthood

It’s good that you realise this. Can’t tell you the number of police officers I know who vote Tory 🤷🏻‍♀️

That song is the opposite of an anti-depressant for me. Things got worse, not better. Before anyone comes at me accusing me of being a "Tory Bot", check my username.

I have it poised at the ready and a bottle of bollinger (and I never normally drink at all) in the fridge bought specially.
I remember driving to work on the morning the results were announced in 1997 and feeling so happy. I was a nurse working in a social work team at the time and absolutely everyone was over the moon that day. Can’t wait to feel that way again. It’s been so long.

Some people might also remember him playing the Benny Hill theme tune as Boris resigned / left.

@ssd to answer your question, I don't know his name, but it's the same bloke who played the theme tune to the Benny hill show when Johnson resigned.

I get why some posters think it's purile and silly to do it, but it made me smile. And I've had little to smile about recently. Guess that makes manually too. I'll take that. Silly at my age feelings like a win 😂

Anyone that thinks Labour will sweep into power and be in a position to change much is mistaken - the problems with the economics of this country run far deeper than just who is in office ATM. I'll be happy to see the Tories ousted but anxious about how quickly the disillusionment will set in.

Sir Steve Bray

I was so confused when I heard this as assumed Rishi had picked out some background music and that this was a very odd choice. I caught on eventually, and it did make me chuckle.

To quote a famous tory (!)
It is not the end nor the beginning of the end but it is the end of the beginning.

I am well aware of that but the arrogance of the Tories in the last 5 years has been astounding

(I am a floating voter, some of my family were Tory party members but all left as the likes of Boris etc caused them to no longer recognise or want anything to do with the party)

Things can only get wetter...

Gave me a great laugh. Standing in the pissing rain to a Labour soundtrack, gave me some hope, something that's been missing from this country in the last 14 years.

Been dancing around to the kitchen to that song while I cooked the dinner! Feeling positive!

Exactly. When the Tories were flouting lockdown rules whilst criminalising any other person who did, there were many people unable to say goodbye to dying loved ones.

Even the Royal Family did not behave that way.

I guess it's some superannuated Blairites

I don't want a repeat of the Blair years, and would prefer the Yazz version to the Blair co-opted DReam cover version

Was it a cover?

I’ve already explained to dd (15), who is taking politics a level next year, how election viewing goes. Bottle of Prosecco on ice (for me), lots of snacks, lots of cheering every time a cabinet minister loses his seat.
CANNOT WAIT

Steve Bray, always prepared.

The most ridiculous thing i heard today was a Conservative minister saying if you vote for the Conservative party you will get change, if you vote for Labour you will get more of the same.

Doesn't he know Conservatives have been in government for 14 years?

They should rerelease that song. Wouldn’t it be incredible if it was played everywhere
