I hope so. I can't help but think they'll need help getting out of their bubble, mixing with people from other backgrounds and learning important skills like how to put petrol into a car and pay for stuff with a card.

Of course not. We've never had conscription or National Service here and there's no way they'd let our hallions anywhere near a barracks unless they were being detained.
🤣🤣🤣

It's like the Conservatives have ambushed themselves.

How do they go about finding a candidate to stand ? Surely someone is burning the midnight oil going through all the ones who fancy a go at it , or will some seats just not have a candidate for that particular party ?

We thought that Starmer was being amusing when he said that Sunak was the man with the reverse midas touch.

In fact Starmer was being factual.

Exactly what I've been wondering.

I think they'll parachute some of the big names at risk into safer seats.

Apparently parents of an under nines football team in Chesham got an “emergency” WhatsApp asking them to take their children down for a photo opportunity with Sunak and they all refused.

Last night it emerged Greg Hands had been banned from using a parents WhatsApp group at his son’s school to send out political messages about VAT on school fees https://x.com/gabriel_pogrund/status/1794787580212391981?s=61&t=xKCXjKa1-S6Ks0nSd_LXGg

Oof what a gaffe!

CCHQ accidentally sends out email criticising Tory MPs for failing to campaign & warning of money concerns in some seats, acc to Times

@DuncinToffee I think there may have been a further breach of GDPR after the one last week where personal emails were released, as apparently confidential medical information about a candidate’s wife was included in this blunder 😬

The email was later recalled.

If you really are thick as pig shit, it's generally not a good move to advertise it to the world.

Tech Bro's security

It is all going swimmingly for the Tories. Watching them finally, completely disintegrate is very amusing.

Indeed.

It's finally being spoken that Brexit broke the conservative party. It's the trojan horse that was snuck into British politics and they were the ones stupid enough to fall for it.

The daily mail are kind of ignoring the election today ( just had a nose ) and focusing on Ruth and Eamon. The big stories!

Interestingly they also aren't moderating their comments - certainly not on the thread about Boris-a-likes being rejected. Three's no trolling. It's wall to all Tories who are totally disgusted with the whole lot.

That's what happens when you spend donors money paying off "bad people" and settling the private hospital bills of victim(s) of rapist Tory MPs.

The locals in Mark Menzies’ constituency are pretty fed up, there have been a series of messages on a fence in a prominent part of town

Chapeau !

🤣🤣🤣

Because, of course, teaching and health jobs are so oversubscribed that we desperately need to find a way to cut down the number of applicants for them.

I bet there would be an exception when the prospective appointee is a Tory donor or a relative or friend of the government who fancies getting appointed to something lucrative å la Dido Harding.

Two Labour MP's announcing they are standing down

John Spellar, Smethwick
Barbara Keely, Worsley & Eccles South

That's completely illogical, given that 18 year olds are adults. Is there any other circumstance where parents can be held responsible for the offence of their adult children? How would it work with, say, foster children - is it the foster parents or the natural parents who would be held responsible, or all of them?
