Sunak in Hinckley yeaterday for the second time, seems like they are only trying to hang on to what would normally be safe seats. Even here its feeling very tight, just hope people are taking note of what the majority of tactical voting sites are recommending.

 

They are definitely worried about safe seats, Sunak and Cameron both been to Grantham

I will quite happily retire from talking about politics on this forum on Friday.

 

Actually maybe next Monday. Give me the weekend to enjoy it.

Tories: there will be power cuts under Labour.

 

Also Tories: the kettles will still work tho.

 

 

[urban.spaceman]

As will your digital clocks. And your phone will still charge.

These ****ers are the most inept people alive.

I'll ask again, does not being able to win the vote justify not even taking a symbolic stance against police being allowed to rape protesters?

If I would be totally blunt about it, no.

 

This is about power, and principles without the power to apply them to make the world a better place mean as much as a fart in a Category 5 hurricane.

 

I know that's probably harsh, though.

personally I would say if you abandon your principles because you don't have the power to easily enact them, then you don't have any principles in the first place.

And I would say that's equally valid because you see it so often too.

 

So being stuck between them in the limbo of actually being able to do something meaningful while not compromising yourself to do so makes finding a solution very, very hard.

You know it makes (common) sense

I dream of Alberto Costa being driven out for good.

I'm definitely getting a Facebook ban on Friday after I've wound up some gammons about the result.

We laugh now but back in 2020/1 when similar scare tactics were used, daily, almost hourly, people were completely taken in by it.

The thing is, it doesn’t cut through. Everyone feels worse off in their pocket than they did 15 years ago, everyone feels the hatred and nastiness that’s festered in society, everyone feels the negative energy in the country, people aren’t fools, they feel their lives worse off under the Tories.

Starmer coming out swinging against the equality act 2 days before the election is certainly a look. what a weapons grade **** he is.

 

Bare in mind what he's talking about was tried in North Carolina 9 years ago and had Camerons government issue a travel warning that the state wasn't safe for LGBTQ Brits to travel to...

The DMs were always the best when Bullshit Boris got the push.

Apparently Wes Streeting's seat is under threat, with an outside chance of Stamer's being the same.

 

I'd love Streeting to lose his seat.

Starmer is polling at over 60% and Streeting at nearly 60% in most polls. Where you read this?

Chatting to a friend, who is usually very sensible, but has got this very very wrong.

 

Shame on me for believing them without checking 

[urban.spaceman]

I am now at the “Old Trafford and Wes Morgan has equalised: Leicester hit back - like champions” stage of the election.

 

THIS. IS. HAPPENING.

Yeh just seen that as well, the biggest poll so far of the election and genuine chance the LibDems form the opposition.
