Rishi due to tell us at 5pm what the date is - smart money on 4th July perhaps pressaging his inevitable departure for the USA.

Obviously 😂

They are of the same ilk. The current labour are Torylites.

Spratt · 22/05/2024 17:26

Pissing down with rain, soaking wet PM and ‘things can only get better’ drowning out the speech. Very amusing!

Simonjt · 22/05/2024 17:27

Maybe after Johnsons umbrella incident they can no longer trust tories with one.

WoshPank · 22/05/2024 17:27

It's well beyond overdue, yes.

Sorry but I think you have unrealistic hopes of what Labour will do. I fear many are going to be disappointed.

(Not defending the Tories obviously)

It's not unrealistic to imagine Labour could be better. It just isn't.
They won't do a miraculous job and instantly transform everything, but they will 100% be an improvement on this shower of shite.

Exactly.

Oh bum, we're going to be on our holiday in Greece. Will have to arrange postal votes 🙄

Fantastic, and highly apposite.

THANK CHRIST.

fridascruffs · 22/05/2024 17:32

Anyone know how long it takes to register for a postal vote? Am I too late?

fliptopbin · 22/05/2024 17:32

I've never seen any PM start slagging off the leader of the opposition while calling the election before.
He's utterly desperate.
Also, the "Things can only get better" plus the rain just made it comedy gold.

Register today, it’s done online, you should be fine

Globe22 · 22/05/2024 17:34

Get the fucking Tories out! Things can only get better. Fuck off Rishi to the USA!

Nooneknows99 · 22/05/2024 17:34

Nothing to be excited about, it’s just exchanging one set of losers for another.

THANK GOD. Get them out!!!

Yes, bring it on!

Things can only get better. 🌹

MissyB1 · 22/05/2024 17:39

For those moaning that it won't make any difference. Actually even if it doesn't just get worse that would be something wouldn't it? Because this Country is only going one way under these losers! And right now I reckon even Sooty & Sweep could do a better job than Rishi and his dodgy mates

ByKindOpalPoet · 22/05/2024 17:41

I think some people intentionally underestimate people.

We know things won’t change instantly (you seriously need to be naive to think that).

We know it’ll take years to sort out the mess the tories will leave

we know that it’ll be another election before we see the benefits of a new government.

however the way this country has been run, the way this country is heading, it certainly can’t get any worse. After all the lettuce that lasted longer than Truss could do better than Rishi and the Tories

cornflakecrunchie · 22/05/2024 17:45

I'm absolutely fuming. Poor PM getting soaking wet & some twat playing that loud music. Sometimes I'm so ashamed to be British.
I know that won't go down well with all the Labour lovers here. I'm getting on in years - I remember what a mess they made of the country in the past. And will again.

Prawncow · 22/05/2024 17:45

Whatever Labour do, it has to be better than this clusterfuck.

This speech was more powerful than that rained out nonsense

Americans won’t give a shit that is 4th July, they hardly know what’s happening in their own country never mind another one

Hope Things Can Only Gets Better gets to number one between now and July

Well umbrellas, or even giving the announcement indoors were options, so if the "poor" PM got wet, thats on him.

Seriously? You’re ashamed that someone had a sense of humour to play things can only get better? I mean after the last 14 years things can only get better with these out

If you are getting on in years I assume you remember how the tories have trashed the country multiple times? Or are you are Tory lover?

I’m getting on in years too and I remember 1997 to 2010 as the best government of my adult life.
