Wonder if Kemi Badenoch will be leader of the Tory party in 2029.

As for Yusuf

Think the only valid reply to that has two words, beginning with F and O.

Exactly 😂

Edited

I don't think she will.

No one wants that chalice. It's her special USP

I don't think she will.

Currently listening to TRiH about the rise of Thatcher/1974-1979, and it's curious that he same was said of her in her first year.

The real question is will this Labour administration be as useless as the days of the LibLab pact ?

TemperanceWest · 28/04/2026 15:18

Is there anyone waiting to take over?

Zia Yusuf is threatening Labour MP's ahead of the vote on Starmer in a post on X

If you vote against it, Reform will carpet bomb your constituency to ensure all your constituents know you voted to save the most unpopular PM of all time. Vote wisely.”

If I were a Labour MP who had been going to vote for this would convince me to swap to against.

I can’t pay any Carcassonne tax on the app! It won’t accept my pictures! I’ll see if I can get on to the website

cardibach · 28/04/2026 16:51

Nope. Website says pics are too big. They are the same size I normally pay tax with…

Cardiff, try taking screenshots of your photos and see if that works?

Good question. Would anyone want to right now?

Well your local tory and Libdem voters are certainly loyal, @SerendipityJane - things could get interesting over your way but I suspect no worse, unless Reform pull it out of the hat.

Don't worry, be happy.

We got our second letter from Reform today. I don't know why they're bothering, my town is certainly going to go full Reform.

placemats · 28/04/2026 18:27

Why are people voting for Reform?

They spend too much time on social media. Plus they might get paid for polls. Social content. Insta. BskyB. Farce. Formula X.

I do this when my pictures don't post as they are deemed too big. I don't know what causes it so I screenshot the image and the new one posts.

Have had that problem before.

Well I've had Tory councillors since 2002, despite voting LibDem every time.

This time, I'm in a Green mood.

If it does turn out to be NOC, then the backroom deals will be interesting.

Heres Some Carcassonne tax - I’ll pay extra voluntary tax over the next few days I expect!

Lovely, Cardi. Apologies for the earlier autocorrect of your name to Cardiff!

To stick it to the 'lefties'?

Or they don't mind a bit of racism

Beautiful, @cardibach - I have to travel vicariously via you lot.
