Sorry just catching up. Sunak not having Sky is the worst thing he could come up with?
I'm not impressed.

In other related news. Andrea Jenkyns campaign leaflet is something else (ie not Tory)

She's taking the piss now.

Ohhhh! But she didn't use the yellow dress/giving the "V" photo!!!!

Small Island Mentality.

As a Scot who shares this island, I won't accept this generic categorisation Hmm

I would apologise but, alternatively, I have always suggested that maybe some kind of trench could be built instead to hive off Scotland. The Welsh could do it too if so desired.

I was thinking about May's Fields of Wheat today. What an innocent mishap that seems now.

Looks like the ITV clown car interview will air at the same time as the Leaders debate is being aired on Sky.

Grin@Piggywaspushed : variations of Offa's Dyke and Hadrian's Wall Wink

I had meant to use a Wink rather than a Hmm in my reply to you.

I did manage to sit on my hands and not say Little Englanders because I know that not all English are like that Smile

That's rather annoying! I thought that broadcasters would have a "gentleman's agreement"?

I mean I won't be watching either but still...

Any chance of a new thread? Asking on behalf of a sinking ship😊

To be fair: the debate follows the interview. What's on Sky at the same time as Sunak's oh so important pre recorded ITV interview is the build-up show.

Thanks Duncin Brew and lovely news Tokyo 🗳️

Struggle to understand why Sunak would leave D-Day commemorations early. That's somewhere I expect a UK Prime Minister to be!

Hat tip @Notonthestairs at 1805 last Thursday for sussing what became the defining problem for Sunak (so far)

Sunak must be cursing that he can't blame that one on foreign courts.

Winchester College is my neighbour. It has long links with the military, often see the boys heading off to cadet training, this small city is full of the officer class, there are no less than 7 military museums here. It is absolutely impossible that Sunak can be unaware of the importance of D Day and he therefore made a choice. Me first; everyone and everything else, later. Deeply unimpressive.

Absolutely.

My son competes at Winchester a few times a year. I walk around the city - it's beautiful. I often walk past Winchester a college.

There is no way he can claim not to understand the importance of the war in these parts.

He just doesn't care and thinks he's more important than history. And he sees history as anything that happened yesterday!

newnamethanks · 12/06/2024 16:35

Torquay Tory needs to remember what happened to Rupert Allasonq, their Tory MP, who let his pettiness show. Followed at the election by a red face and no seat.

Perfect title as this will be 'the moment he lost the election', so, relevant throughout.

Where does one get vote labour signs?

dontcallmelen · 12/06/2024 17:49

Agree Winchester is a beautiful town & steeped in military history, So even less of a reason why he failed to grasp the importance of D-Day
i really hope Andrea Jenkyns is trounced on the 4th as for Mordaunt & her food pantries she can fuck off as well, I read the article by Gordon Brown the worst of it being knowing that’s it’s heartbreakingly true.

I got mine from the local Labour candidate.

L1ttledrummergirl · 12/06/2024 17:54

I asked our Labour councillor and she arranged it. She's been brilliant helping us with another matter as well. The current/last tory MP not so much. I have high hopes for the new one, keep hearing good things.
