Well said @SerendipityJane .

I'm currently having a little meltdown at everyone changing their nicknames. I'll be so confused.

Is Boris Johnson supporting your local candidate?

"Hands, face, space, vaccines, vaccines, vaccines"

On the 4th anniversary of Johnson, Sunak, the interior decorator, Cabinet colleagues, catering and a photographer being "ambushed" by a party.

My local MP voted for Mr Johnson to be Tory leader. I will mention that and my opinion of Mr Johnson should the Tories come canvassing.

Hmm you might have a long wait @LlynTegid

I’ve always been anti Tory. I started with hating Thatcher with a passion and have never moved. It really saddens me that nobody younger than 32 can remember how much better life was as an adult before this lot took over.

I hated Margaret Thatcher's policies.

With Boris Johnson it is his personal behaviour additionally. Trying to deny how many children you have is disgraceful.

My MP normally attends any beacon lighting, did so for both the Golden and Platinum Jubilee and the Queen's 90th birthday. Absent for the D Day beacon lighting two weeks ago.

I am happy to keep a list of who is who and post it first thing on GE morning?

Maybe we should also start a fresh thread on GE morning so that we don't accidentally switch user names?

My name will be VoteOutToHelpOut.

Fresh thread is also a good idea.
I'm going to be HauntedPollingBooth for the day.

Going back to Rishi maybe knowing someth8ng about russia / Ukraine.

I've thought this all along. Hence why he's saying Labour won't protect our security.

If Labour win and then it happens he'll blame it on Labour and say it wouldn't have happened under Tory's because we'd have raised spending on defence against gdp.

People won't work out for themselves nothing we do will directly impact the war in Ukraine - it may support Ukraine though. And our spending on defence is only rising if we raise gdp. And they are currently putting us in more debt.

tobee · 19/06/2024 16:47

That's a lovely suggestion @IClaudine! I might have to print off a prompt list though!

All I can think of so far is tobeeonelectionnight which is rubbish really.

itsgettingweird · 19/06/2024 16:48

That's genius!

SerendipityJane · 19/06/2024 16:57

Russia manage to kill a UK citizen on UK soil and the Tories did fuck all about it. So I'm not trusting them to look after me.

Cheguevarahamster · 19/06/2024 16:58

I am toying with RishisRemovalVan or RishiAteMyhamster

tobee · 19/06/2024 17:00

If I didn't care about the result and won't likely be an emotional mess, election night will be fascinating.

tobee · 19/06/2024 17:03

Ooh new poll courtesy of Sky News they said would be out at 5pm:-

tobee · 19/06/2024 17:05

Those maps in that linked article show a story very clearly

Notonthestairs · 19/06/2024 17:05

Well, now I'm glad the election is 2 weeks away as that will give me time to come up with a name Grin

(I love RishiAteMyHamster!)

IClaudine · 19/06/2024 17:06

Just make sure to tag me with your final names!

Getting excited now. Two weeks tomorrow.

tobee · 19/06/2024 17:08

Excited. But a little bit jumpy. God knows what I'd be like if it was looking close!

Me too. I barely remember who is who at the best of times!

Zonder · 19/06/2024 17:10

Zonder means without in Dutch (I know someone here is Dutch but I've already forgotten who!) and it was relevant at the time I chose it but can't remember why now.

So my election night name could be ZonderRishi or ZonderManyTories

RafaistheKingofClay · 19/06/2024 17:21

The Savanta poll is putting the Tories on 53 seats with Rishi becoming the first PM to lose his seat at an election. Can’t find a link to it though.
