Has the resident Dubai correspondent pipped up yet?

Only just a repost of the awful loser Matt Goodwin.

Craftywank Grimes is wittering on about the so called family voting on his antisocial media. The election at least kept him out of our hair for a few days, while he was out campaigning.

That's astonishing. Does she really think only Muslims voted Green??

And to heap praise on someone who lost their deposit is extraordinary. Looks like Charlotte's issues don't actually poll well.

countrygirl99 · 27/02/2026 11:59

This made me laugh. Nothing says Muslim fundamelism like voting for a female candidate for a part led by a gay Jew.

So Muslims voted - in bloc - for a candidate for a party headed by a (reluctant) Jew ??

really says a lot about how toxic ReformaTory are.

Beat me to it

And until you stated it, I had no idea about Polanskis sexuality. And now I know I have reassessed everything I knew, but weirdly nothing has changed.

The Tories got 1.9%. Must be a historic low.

'Clueless' is the ironic title of a modern day film, loosely based on Jane Austen's 'Emma'. The titular subject being naive when it comes to love, respect and relationships and realises the mistakes made.

When it comes to Kemi Badenoch, clueless means exactly that.

This seat was 217th on the Green's target list at the last election.

I think it's safe to say Labour's "right of centre" approach to beating Reform isn't working.

They are losing more on the left than they gain on the right….

A reluctant gay Jew at that.

Piggywaspushed · 27/02/2026 13:36

The religion bit obviously!

I should have written a gay reluctant Jew.

The better phrase is a secular Jew, I think.

That means Labour voters are less likely to be racist.

We have been saying all along that Labour should not try to appease the right wingers, but they didn't listen to us.

MNHQ must get through a lot of ban hammers, given all the pbps who return again and again. It must be really tedious for them.

As predicted.

Nothing to do with Badenoch not being a very nice person, with no policies and pretending she was never in Government then?

Notonthestairs · 27/02/2026 14:08

I am reminded again of the thread before the last election called "Why Conservative voters handle election outcomes better than Labour voters".
The Op concluded that Conservative voters were the 'bigger people'.
Badenoch is one of the biggest.
