To think Starmer will be gone by the end of Friday? Or will it be Monday evening?

Whoever you are voting for today, it's probably not Labour - they might loose 2,000 seats.

How long exactly will it be before he resigns?

@DenizenOfAisleOfShame “The left’s self-professed ‘virtue’ is grotesque.” It really is, but they are the good people against us unmentionables or “numpties”.

Labour did VERY well in Scotland in the 2024 General Election. The SNP lost 39 seats.

Great, so that money has been paid back, right? Oh, wait..

No evidence? OK, a swift look gets you, randomly

Our Track and Trace report identifies 24 PPE contracts worth £1.6 billion that were awarded to companies with known political connections to Conservative Party.

Note that I'd talked about 'right wingers' doing this rather than 'Tories in government'. Though in terms of Tories in government, we could talk about Zahawi or Hunt's tax arrangements as just one other example.

Not unless Labour's polling improves massively. No PM would call an election knowing they would lose. Unless the 5 year term was almost up.

One thing they most definitely are is out of touch with the electorate

I actually don't agree with the 'unmentionables' perspective and I didn't deny that leftists can disappoint us too on this front. But I think the 'they're all the same' narrative is both wrong and corrosive.

I don’t wanna point this out again, but there have been quite a lot of occasions when they call an election even though they don’t know they’re going to win. It’s called a mandate it’s important.

Ew🤢. No.

Money talks, bullshit walks…

Well, we will see!

Are you quite quite mad? Do you think that Theresa Mays Mistake was an actual mistake or a gamble? And do you think she was the first prime minister to take a gamble in politics? Are you New?

Yeah, agree this won't happen. I'm going to get a '2029 Yeah Baby' t shirt printed at this rate. 😎

There is a 96% chance that I pay more tax than you do.

I’m actually not happy to pay more given where it goes

I am, however, very happy with the concept of tax

Government don’t always call an election because they think they will win. Sometimes they go one because they have to.

Both a gamble AND a mistake. HTH

Yes it was a gamble, which turned out to be a big mistake, did it not?

Nothing quite like the feel of other peoples money

Cross post!

Which they won't have to do with a majority with this size.

No, it was a gamble that didn’t work out. You can call that a mistake after the event sure but it’s not in and of itself a mistake. It’s a gamble.

No again you are clearly mistaken. It’s nothing to do with how large their majority is. If they no longer have a mandate from the public which after today I strongly suspect they will not then things become quite different. It’s not about hanging onto Power whatever happens. it’s about governing with a mandate from the people.

Nothing in that is evidence of anything.

This has been gone through a million times. Left wing NGOs are not arbiters. The courts are, the National Audit Office is, etc. No proper authority has found any corruption. They’ve all rejected it. It’s bollocks.

The GLP lost every case it brought about Covid contract ‘irregularities’. Just for example.

You're mistaken too! 😃

Hey, maybe I’m wrong and labour only lose three or four seats and not closer to 2000 but let’s see what happens in the morning

That's absolute nonsense. The only thing that determines whether a government stays in power or not is whether the PM can command the confidence of the House of Commons.

Starmer's majority in the Commons is enormous, and that mandate is valid for five years.
