I see the 3 for Reform as rope to hang themselves with. No way are they going to be good constituency MPs. No way are they all going to get through a full Parliament without at least one doing something to trigger a recall petition.

That’s a good way of looking at it, I would be amazed if any of them do get elected would actually be a good MP as the calibre of the candidates appear to be very very questionable.

Thanks! Will name change just in case but keep this name for these threads x

I'm glad you almost outed yourself and had to delete the post, otherwise it would have meant you'd been deleted.

I didn't see it.

I didn’t see it either.

Nor me.
Never a bad idea to twirl a new username though.

Would not be the first time I've been deleted tbf!

I doubt anyone would be interested in my real identity, but I had a bit of a panic!

I didn't see it either.

Anyone who knows me irl would easily recognise me But my surname is so distinctive and unusual (only one of me in the UK ) that I wouldn't want to be identified explicitly.

I'm always careful never to put in print anything I'm not prepared to stand by in real life though

I didn't see it!

Neither did I.

I sobbed watching this.

I work as Pastoral lead in a SS and train over 100 staff yearly on positive behaviour support.

@MissMarplesNiece I was speaking to an elderly friend recently. They'd been bluelighted in for a strangulated hernia. Had been seen by a Greek Registrar, 'an Indian man' & then operated on by a Turkish surgeon. Said he sat & watched the busy A&E desk for an hour whilst waiting for his ambulance transportation home.
Said:' it was like the United Nations but they all seemed to understand each other (!) & work well together'
Left 'full of praise for our priceless NHS'. Is voting Reform. <bangshead>

I find new usernames too confusing. I've been my name for years. Only changed for a couple of tricky posts over time.

I have a name for election night

I'll give it a try, back in a min

Oooh! Now that's what I call prepared @DuncinToffee !!!

waves 👐

You have to say who you are! That's the rules!

That’s bloody brilliant. 😭

I didn’t see it either Iclaudine.

Love the election night name change Duncintoffee.

Sadly I’m going to have to be sober ish on election night as have to be at work for 7.30 on the 5th. But spending the weekend at Bylines festival where I’d imagine there will be a lot of celebrating.

Love the election night name change @RishisLeavingDo

I've not changed my name (beyond seasonal and obviously linked name changes) since (I think) 2004 yes I've been on here that long I had a previous name for a couple of years which was actually my first name, initial of my second name and year of birth

I've very occasionally changed name if I've been posting about something sensitive that could upset others (especially as I've not disguised myself).

Oh dear 😱
Knives are out for reform, such a shame

Very glad my error went unnoticed! Although I wouldn't be bothered about any of the regulars on here knowing who I am in real life.

BTW, did you know 5th July is the birthdate of the NHS? Has to be a good omen, yes?

Bloody hell. What a cess pool of candidates.

Boris Johnson is no longer expected to join Tory election campaign trail because party is facing decimation in the red wall seats he won in 2019 and there are fears he will not appeal to voters in the south

Johnson is instead expected to go on his second summer holiday within the next few days and is not due back in the UK until July 3

Sunak did not tell Johnson that he was planning a snap election and has not spoken to him for the duration of the campaign

Allies of Sunak are said to be concerned that Johnson could prove to be a distraction because of the ‘media circus’ that would surround him if he spent a day on the campaign trail

Tory strategist: ‘What’s the point of sending him to the red wall when the focus of the campaign is to defend 150 seats in the south?

‘This is not a campaign that is looking to win seats in the red wall. This is a fight for survival. If you look at the seats we’re targeting they don’t have Boris Johnson supporters’

In the past ten days the prime minister has spent his time in seats with an average Conservative majority of 15,000, up from 10,000 in the first two weeks of the campaign

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
