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

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

CAKE !!!!!

Just a reminder that these intelligent people being interviewed are most definitely not Reforms target audience.

Thanks and all that @Piggywaspushed. But I'm not sure I can!

A hung parliament? GrinConfusedHmmGrinConfusedHmmGrin

Where are the emoticons for pigs flying? Wink

Much as I'd love Scotland to be hung in terms of its numbers of MPs per party, to make the point Wink (although obviously I have a preference as to which party has a majority Wink) I am absolutely confident that Labour will get a stonking majority in England - and therefore that's is the Government we'll get.

Welcome to our visitor.

I hope you are having a bet on your certainty, you'll make an enormous amount of money if you're right.

Pardon me for not emulating you if you do.

Apparently there is a poll commissioned by Arron Banks! predicting reform coming 2nd......

The only thing I object to about that Savanta poll is the number of seats it awards Reform. Grin

verdantverdure · 19/06/2024 19:56

@Ohanother1goodbye What are you basing your expectation of a hung Parliament on?

prettybird · 19/06/2024 19:58

If I were a betting person which I'm not Wink I'd happily put a bet on Reform not winning a single seat in Scotland. Smile

Unfortunately I suspect that they will win at least one (Clacton) and probably more Sad in England. But in some respects, and wash my mouth out with soap it might do some good that people can see how fucking lazy he is.

The bigger fear is that he does return to the Conservative Party and drive even more divisive politics from within SadShock

Take a look at the polls.
Wildly all over the place.
But Jeremy Corbyn's puppet has thrown it away by taxing children's education.
Reform are surging and they know what a woman is.

Happy 50th everyone!

My tax this time is a nostalgic link to where these threads first began. What a lot has happened since.

As for "the polls are all over the place", well maybe that is true as they can't seem to quite agree on the size of Labour's super majority!

Boris has been fined - Tory voters, should he go? | Mumsnet

Both Johnson and Sunak have received fines for the lockdown parties. No further details as yet. Do any Conservative voters here think Boris should r...

I swear if I see Farage’s smug face once more I think I’ll throw my phone at the telly! It feels like the longest 6 weeks of my life.

Sunak calling the election seems like months and months ago.

prettybird · 19/06/2024 20:39

I'm not going to @ the latest visitors as I think they just want the attention Wink but as a general observation, while the various polls might differ I wouldn't say all over the place Hmm, the one thing that they all have in common is a MAHOOSIVE Labour majority - well beyond any margin of error Confused

So I'd agree with pointythings : if they're so confident in their unsubstantiated assertions, they should put their money where their mouth is and place large bets on their predictions. They'd make a lot of money! Wink

Piggywaspushed · 19/06/2024 20:44

Pretty sure that's a bona fide poster and irony may have been missed...

I may be wrong.
