Corrected that for her...
#Breaking Liberal Democrat MP Heidi Allen has said she will not stand in the next General Election, adding that she is “certain to lose, so I am jumping before the electorate push me"

’twas christmas day in the workhouse,
the candidates came in view,
the promises, they were many,
the explanations, they were few,
up spake a brave old trooper,
he was as bold as brass,
I don’t want your christmas ballot,
stick it up your arse!

I’m not Corbyn’s greatest fan, but the ball’s in play now. Let’s see what happens.
It’s not as if the Tories are in a great place. They will be squeezed in both Scotland and the Remain parts of the South. We are yet to see if they can really gain in the Labour North. They may struggle to.
They are very reliant on Johnson’s electoral ‘magic’. The rest of the Government is full of absolute twats who will need keeping off the TV. Should any revelation damage Johnson (Arcuri?) it could get close.
C’mon Jezza, get on the stump again.

Had labour canvassers round mine the other day, to be expected, election imminent. Told bloke who knocked my door I would probably vote labour in GE as didn't want a tory MP but declined invitation to put a fucking poster in my window. Anyway now I get to look forward to answering door to some tory wankers, last time round I did so in my pants. It's the little pleasures.

Nice that you've got a name for them.
Reasonable chance that DUP will lose Belfast South to SDLP, Belfast North to Sinn Fein, and potentially even Belfast East to Alliance.
This would mean 8 Sinn Fein seats, 1 SDLP seat, 7 DUP seats, 1 Alliance seat, and 1 independent (unionist). Or in other words, 9 Nationalist seats, 1 neutral, and 8 unionist seats.
This would be the first election since partition in which nationalist MPs outnumber unionist.
United Ireland not far away.

Had the Brexit Party canvassing around my street and some mugs have fallen for their shite and are displaying posters. This is Denis Skinner's constituency and Labour are going to have to pull their fingers out to canvass and spread the message and not just expect the votes.

Last December election was in 1923. Conservatives won most seats, but hung parliament.
A repeat would be funny.

Is Skinner standing? Think that would make him father of the house? Assuming Clarke sticks to his word and doesn't stand again

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Not seen anything locally to say that he isn't standing but time will tell.

Just plain abuse of staff and shouldn’t be tolerated. Make the bosses wear those tops.

Odd that there is already 118 (counting Sein Fein) so it’s not the wildest prediction even if many Change/Independents will lose their seats.

Exasperated, not angry.
If he was stepping down we'd know. The selection timetable, at least, would be out by now, but it isn't. So he's staying on.
Not sure what is/will be happening with Derby North though.

This includes the 20+ Tories like Clarke who have had the whip withdrawn. There’s currently 30-35 Independents. There is no way that will remain the same.

Must be a Scottish election. The T shirt appears to read “cunt aff”, which isn’t an instruction I’ve head south of the border.

And as if by magic, radio is reporting this very second that 10 of them have just had the whip restored and are no longer Independents.

And of those that haven't had the whip restored, how many will be standing again? (Not Philip Hammond or Ken Clarke)
)
