Rish! could not possible have known when he ordered that they be rounded up that Sunak would announce at election so soon.
Just unfortunate timing, nothing really to see, move along.

He didn't realise this either I guess.

An extra 100,000 families will be stung by a mortgage hike between now and polling day, new figures show.

More than 3,300 households a day will see their payments rise significantly before 4 July, and the average homeowner will have to fork out £240 a month more, or nearly £3,000 a year.

Nicked from twitter - when a picture paints a thousand words...

I just saw that one on my feed as well

Our local Labour MP is out and about loads.

She seems really nice and a normal mum! Complete opposite of Braverman!

I'm really hoping I get to meet her as she's an advocate for those with disabilities.

You have to give him credit for highlighting that little issues like starving children are the reality of life under the Tories.

On current voting predictions he's getting quite close to being the next Leader of the Opposition.

It would be sweet revenge for the Lib Dems.

It is all hotting up in my constituency.
We have an absolutely brilliant local councillor who is standing as independent.
We are a traditionally bluest of blue seat.
I think that may change.
Labour have parachuted a London councillor in which I just can't support.
The Lib Dem are just throwing leaflets and dodgy bar charts all over the shop here.
The Con candidate is already MP for down the road but ran here to escape any yellow voters and is trying a bit to hard to claim victory for anything positive that has happened since he declared.
I think there may be a few feathers ruffled. The Indy has loads of support and is very well respected here. Plus our town is a whopping chunk of the vote share.
I am very excited. I have no idea how I will manage to concentrate on work between now and election.

Opinium is the pollster whose methodology most favours the Conservatives.

Last week it showed Labour with a 14 point lead. Today that’s 20 points.

More fag packet policies coming from the Tories soon..

Dan Hodges gives Rishi a week.

The gap is narrowing…

Not my cat tax so I don’t get fined.

Well there is obviously the chance that Sunak will knock the debates out of the park...

Like he did against the lettuce?

The lettuce looks a bit limp

Liz Truss, "The worst Prime Minister we've had in recent years is Tony Blair"

"Who created things like the Equality Act, the Human Rights Act, the Climate Change Act"

Love this one!

It's like the Father Ted sketch where they are trapped in the lingerie department! But obviously a lot less funny.

Couple of huge gussets there. And some underwear.

😂😂

v gd

Jesus those pants 🩲🩲!!

🤣

Have people see the new eye roller? Gullis. In fact, almost everyone was shuffling and not meeting anyone's eye.

No one rescued him...
