U-turn, I turn, she turns, he turns and once the voting is over, anything goes, IMHO.
How many more U turns before the GE by this dull leader who has waiting in the winges our dear friend, none other than the , Angela Rayner!!!

Signs of an extremely weak leader who is being led by media reports rather than whats right for England as he will need billions to do as they say until the next U-turn if they they got elected via the back door with coalition partner/s!!!

Oh. It's you. Shan't bother responding then 🙄

Will we see you here on the 5th of July delivering your mea culpa and admitting how wrong you were?

He can't spell English words let alone anything Latin.

The terror and desperation of the Tories is a joy to behold. It’s been a long wait but it’s almost been worth it.

Isn't it just! I'm enjoying this so much!

Hello

I've been telling you all that the only way the Labour lot will get into number 10 is via the back door with a coalition partner/s!!

The press has picked up on my observations!!

Read and weep!!

The Daily Express is not "the press".
You need to consider what is a valid source of information.

Well, it's got the word 'press' in it, so some people might find that confusing.

Too true. Think how confusing they must find The Daily Telegraph.

Wait, you're not suggesting that you've been used as a source for The Press are you?

BurbageBrook · 11/06/2024 21:12

Oh do bore off, OP, Tory bot.

MrsSkylerWhite · 11/06/2024 21:18

Hell, @DameKatyDenisesClagnuts,why consult Prof. Sir John Curtice when you have Distinguished SocialCommentator(s) on speed dial?

Sorry I'm still laughing at the thought of the Express being an acceptable source of anything.

I guess it makes a change from their sure predictions of snowmaggedon every week of winter!

I wish the papers would make up their minds- Labour will tax all the pensioners= Labour bad, Labour won't tax all the pensioners= Labour bad.

All before the manifestos been published. Desperate.

Don't forget Labour don't have a plan.

Thingscanonlygetsunk · 11/06/2024 22:57

I am delighted to see that not only to we have a strange kind of comedian as the Prime Miniature trying to run an election campaign out of Basil Fawlty's play book, but we are blessed with have a similarly great wit who posts here from time to time.

I'm just continuing to read his posts for the laughs. Grin

I can only assume that that is the only motivation for his continued hyperbolic posts Wink

Quite apart from his weird and completely idiosyncratic definition of what "democracy" means Confused

Sunak had no Sky TV as child so parents could pay private school fees https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13519889/rishi-sunak-itv-interview-no-sky-tv-child-pay-private-school-fees.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton
This is definitely a vote winner.
Imagine doing without Sky.

Wow, I didn’t realise private school only cost £26 a month-I’m surprised more kids don’t go!

Oh, can I play this game of look how poor I wasn't.
When I was young we had no TV at all.

Do I win a prize?

frankentall · 12/06/2024 08:37

I wonder if his parents paid for a TV licence or if that was also part of the "sacrifice"

frankentall · 12/06/2024 08:41

We didn't have SKY TV when I was growing up because it is shit value and my parents refused to put money in the pocket of Rupert Murdoch as he's a nasty piece of work. If they were not dead I might ask them how it was I didn't get to go to Winchester so I could have made money from the financial crash though.
