Just over 2 weeks to go

Do you reckon Rishi has got one of those monkey paw things like off the Simpsons? And that's why it's going so wrong? I mean it's not like he'd know that it was a bad omen... he didn't have sky growing up did he?

Sky News are reporting that a source in the gambling industry has told them that they are expecting more names to be announced in relation to the alleged election date insider betting scandal.

They'll find an intranet Memo titled "ELECTION DATE" soon, which might make it easier.

Bunch of spivs.

🙏 oh please let that be the case 🙏

Which monkey paw are you referring to? Because if it's the one from the classic horror story, I want to know whether he's had his third wish yet...

Oh definitely the horror story.. and I don't think he's had it yet, there's still room for things to get much worse...

The justice system is one thing that is broken; this point has been coming for years.

England doesn't really do "justice". It does "law" instead. There may be some points in common, but that will probably be an accident of using the same language.

Justice is available to all (that's what makes it justice). The law is available to those who pay.

So the UK can have load and loads of "laws" about this that and the other. But if you can't enforce them, then do they exist ?

It might be a race to the first by-election. Montgomery might elect a criminal and then they will want a by-election.

Someone else has grabbed the Paw and wished on it, so when he opens the door only a cold, flickering street lamp……#torycuts

I'm not going to be able to watch tonight's question time for ages, hopefully you motley lot will be able to update me on it.

I’ve got QT on, but it’s on catch up so I’m behind real life (as per…).

Ed Davey going first

Tell me Sunak and STARmer are on.

Watching the Spain Italy match. Love the Euros 😍

I’m rewatching Game Of Thrones. I’d rather see Ramsey Bolton torture Theon Greyjoy than sit through a Leader’s Debate or Party Political Broadcast.

I'm watching the leaders. Ed's got a nice manner. Clearly ethical, moral. Lots of integrity. Is being hammered about tuition fees but is dealing honestly with it.

Has no one asked him about the Post Office scandal yet @Piggywaspushed

Ed is doing okay I think. This format could be very tough!

I reckon he picked up a stone from the Clava Cairns to boot

Several times. He managed OK.

Ed did well! Left on a high. Now John Swinney. Unpromising

I agree Davey’s coming across honest, likeable and straightforward. Very natural manner.

That's bad.🙈

Lots of Blairite hands. Both Davey and Swinney doing “dynamic hands”.

Well spotted.
