Pick your Portillo 2024

[Raheem]

The BBC could get Portillo to do commentary on the results announcements.

 

[_Russ_]

Its like the favourite song question, fucking impossible to pick just one

 

[Lord Camomile]

But you wouldn't want to listen to any of them on repeat.

Live from a train...

I'd quite like a Chris Philp moment. In my mind I see him running amok with an axe like American Psycho before being tasered by a renegade returning officer.

Such an odious, obnoxious and mercenary Bromley boy prick.

So yeah, him.

 

[WouldBe]

I want Liz Truss to stay forever. She is such a moron, and I would miss the laughs.

Someone should stand a lettuce against her at the GE.

There was a piece today in our hyper-local online rag about the odious Philp’s chances:

Croydon’s Tory MP confronted: ‘Why should we trust you?’

 

[Dr. Furface]

Andrea Jenkyns, which is possible as she has a majority of 11,000 in a seat that used to be held by Labour (Ed Balls).

I’d also love to see the back of Andrea Leadsom and that prick Robert Jenrick, but their majority’s are probs too large, though Jenrick’s at 20,000 might be vulnerable if they get really hammered.

Omg yes! Vote lettuce! Can we cobble together an urban gofundme to put a deposit down and buy a giant lettuce costume?

 

[Bingoman]

Jeremy hunt losing his seat would be great to see too

Just a normal lettuce would do.

A little gem of idea

 

[Indeliblelink]

The current foreign-secretary.
Oh hang on..

To the extent that I have purchased a nose-peg and shall vote in the first general election in over 30 years, for the Lib Dem, Paul Follows.

Rees Mogg would be funny as fuck, though you know the moment he’s freelance he’ll double down on his media work and literally turn into the next Portillo, only less trains and red trousers, and more right wing GB News type stuff. We’ll never see the end of him.

He won't stick with GBNEWTS. He'll be of to Aunty fusing Portillo and Betejamin abd wandering around medieval churches and cathedrals wittering.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I think he's just too inherently weird for that tbh. There's no way he drops the edges and reinvents himself like Portillo.

Was attempting to desist from posting in this thread because, well...you all know what happens after the hit of the vermin loss etc...but reading this quote attributed to rat-boy has tipped me over into a vote for Sunak.

I can't believe that even in verminous N.Yorks that degree of arrogance and taking the punter s for granted will play terribly well.

The prick:

He could still be a Master Prick if he loses.

He looks like he is being held hostage in this picture. His eyes look desperate and intimidated by Janet Street Porter

 

[nino_savatte]

Too many of them, but top of my list is Starmer, followed closely by Wes Streeting, Rees Mogg, Truß, and IDS.

 

[bluescreen]

Trouble with Braverman, much though I'd pay to see her lose, she has one of the safest tory seats in the country, polling 63.7% of the vote last time

https://members.parliament.uk/constituency/3482/election/397

 

[_Russ_]

Its one of the safest seats they have so Mr Sunak is probably right about keeping it

 

[Karl Masks]

BRaverman does sadly look safe.
Badenoch would be good. Mogg, certainly. Or Streeting, because he is awful.

That may or may not be the case, but it's a generally accepted maxim in Parliamentary politics that it's a bit crap to take the punters for granted, no?

Putting the cos into cosplay...

 

[skyscraper101]

Given how relatively easy it is to raise £500, and the amount of attention seekers there are in this country, I'm always amazed that aside from Count Binface and Lord Buckethead (and a smattering of others here and there), there aren't more comedy characters / protest candidates standing against high profile MPs.

I'd have thought it was rife for this sort of thing with all the cameras and press attention for 4/5 weeks. But by my count there were only three who stood against Boris Johnson in 2019. And none at all in 2017.

Is that what's known as cosplay?

 

[stavros]

For the pure lol, I want to see Gove lose his seat more than anyone though.

An artist's impression of what that scene may look like:

 

[stavros]

I'm going to cheat and say I want Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath, Sebastian Fox and Grant Shapps to get booted out.

 

[chilango]

The serious answer answer is that there will be no "Portillo moment" because they're (pretty much) all at risk and there are no heavyweight characters left.
