Very few in the media are even tangentially interested in social care.

Wouldn't matter if LDs had spoken about it every day for 6 weeks.

Farage and the Tory meltdown has sucked the life out of this campaign.

I like to think of it as having well and truly focused the (now demonstrably useless) media gaze on the navel of all that is wrong.

If the LibDems do become the opposition, then the Tories will have wasted untold billions on a media campaign that was as effective as the shonky PPE their mates fleeced the country for.

And that, my friends, is Nemesis

Happy election eve 🗳️🌹

i just saw this, I would particularly love to see her go. But postal votes are a worry in general. And I’m slightly nervous about complacency creeping in and some people thinking they don’t need to vote.

Exactly that. Nobody’s neutral about the LibDem campaign. We’re split down the middle in this house - Mr B thinks he’s an idiot, I think it’s been a really clever campaign because so many people are talking about it and it’s attracting votes.

Reform appears to be using photos of deceased people as supporters.

Id like to hope this was a mistake rather than a deliberate ploy. But it seems this isn't the only example.

This is what actually happened to this poor lady.

Well there's a copyright infringement if nothing else

All kicking off in Plymouth Moor View. Johnny Mercer's wife appears to call the police on veterans protesting against him. (The don't appear to be campaigning for anyone in particular...just against him)

Campaigning during an election. How dreadful.

Oh dear. If I said what I think of Felicity Mercer I’d be banned. The Tory lack of dignity this election is unbelievable.

Hope you're right

James O'Brien did a phone in about Ed Davie & his antics yesterday!

There was a call from a woman who was also a carer, about the fun & joy his campaign had brought to other carers.

It's not all bad!

I'm glad others find his antics amusing.

I'm a carer and personally find his "look at meeee" antics, really, really irritating.

Can't we just have stable, boring leadership for a while? No lying, siphoning off public funds, bungee jumping or river rafting. Juat sensible policies, properly costed?

Ugh. I can't stand the man 😒

Thread title suggestion Sunak: another suitcase in another multi million pound home.

Sunak: California Man

Its not about finding Davey amusing. It's about registering that the press are obsessed with 3 other parties.
It really wouldnt have killed Labour to discuss social care a bit more - or at all.

I have created a new thread to keep us going until the polls close tomorrow

Voluntary taxes welcome

Johnny Mercer and his wife are both odious individuals. Their £150k pa gravy train is about to come to a screaming halt and they can't cope.

Evening Standard backs Labour

I dread to think what their picture would have looked like if they weren’t backing him….

Probably the same

They might out me. They definitely show us up as sick puppies. One was ‘Norman Tebbit and the 4 Floor Free Fall’…. (Also dates me)
It’s not big and it’s not clever. I know that now. Was funny at the time.
We had a Union President who was quite an operator. One team was ‘Joe Bloggs and the Four Stresignations’ (names changed to protect the guilty).
On a similar theme to yours was ‘Christian Union National Training Squad’

😂

My son and his mates had some creative names for their pub quiz team, we were quite surprised he shared them with us and his nan

Osbornes revengay ?
