Just over 2 weeks to go

Evening. Thanks @DuncinToffee for the new thread. Here's is my majestic cat tax.

Checking in - many thanks Duncin

Evening all. Here's gormless one again, because he was trying to climb so hard.

No cat, but here's Chippie

Ultra soppy Cat tax.

How many more cat pictures do I need to take before the election?

There aren't going to be many Portillo moments this time for those of us old enough to remember as we're going to be expecting them now

My prediction for the SNP is between 15 and 25. I think this time FPTP is going to work against them - whereas they've benefitted from it in recent elections (and yet despite that they were still advocating for PR).

DS and his girlfriend were visiting this afternoon, they were discussing vote logistics and DSGF looked up vote margins for her home and student constituencies to decide where best to use her vote.
All the young adults I know (via DCs) are politically engaged and planning to vote, and are actively engaged in finding out about policies. This gives me hope for the future.

Thank you for our new half century thread Duncin. Here’s my tax. Gladys eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new government.

Hooray more puss and dogs and flowers etc!

Thanks @DuncinToffee. Your dedication in face of the football distraction is appreciated!

We could do a sweepstake as to how many threads we'll use before election day!

I've seriously been wondering if Sunak could commute from California for 5 years.

I think David Frost (telly David Frost, not the other one) used to commute between London and Los Angeles when he had 2 shows either side of the Atlantic. Rumour has it that he availed himself of the call button in First Class many times for gin and tonics and regularly got stretchered off the plane! ✈️ 🍸🚑😱

So they want to make something of Keir's age.

I hope Johnson mentions it - given today is his 60th birthday

Thank you for the new thread duncin & also all contributors
flowers from me.
im getting increasingly jittery, I just want it to be over now very heartening those figures registering for voting.

Love peony season!

Me too. Those are beauties.

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee. And all the lovely pics folks.

I'm still clearing out my house. 16 years of crap. I'm enjoying it, but what I'm really looking forward to is the UK clearing 14 years of toxic shite out of the HoC.

Next time you lot are running down the thread clock, make sure it is not during the football

Thanks for pinging me prettybird, I didn't read your title suggestion until after I created this one.

Three MRPs out today

MiC say Tories win 155 seats and Lab majority 165

YouGov say Tories win 108 seats and Lab majority 200

Savanta say Tories win 53 seats and Lab majority 382

That Savanta poll feels a bit mad - anyone know whether their track record is any good? That has to be an outlier.

I'll take any of those!

I'm just here for seeing other people's cute cats/ dogs/birds/rats/ snakes/ floral arrangements.

Evenin’

Thank you Duncin. No pets, but some cheerful sheep that don't belong to me.

Those polls just show how unreliable polls are.

No pollster has ever asked me what I think, or anyone I know.

I think it will be a hung parliament after the next election, But Jeremy Corbyn's puppet has alienated everyone, so Sunak will do a coalition with Reform and Farage will be Prime Minister.

You heard it here first.

I’m a total tech luddite bit afraid to name change if I did master it I would be FinallytheFuckwitsWillbeFucked

Just a weary pmk, if I can be allowed ...

Sleepy cat tax!

Not at home, so here is a seagull on the beach.

Thanks for the new thread.
