The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[Kid_Eternity]

That's more realistic compared to all these Tories will only win 85 seats ones. I think.

Agreed, my bet all along is 100-150 seats for the Tories.

Anymore insight into the Clapton Labour candidates issue that you were looking into ?

 

[teqniq]

Regarding the Clacton Labour candidate Jovan Owusu-Nepaul, Dawn Butler is supporting him, fair play:

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Can’t say I’m surprised

Clacton. And nope, things have moved on given the proximity to polling day unfortunately.

Always liked Dawn.

Just the reason Starmer needs to suspend her...

What does Tate minor get out of it, though?

 

[Karl Masks]

She saves the best till last, you'll be glad to know

 

[Bus Honeygun]

Oh yes, Mercer is fucking weird as well as unpleasant. Strange combination of supreme arrogance yet very thin-skinned.

 

[MickiQ]

Be disappointed if the Greens get only 1, I would never like to see them in power as they stand now but getting 2 or 3 seats will hopefully concentrate the minds of mainstream politicians a bit more. I don't want to see Reform get more than Clacton. If Frog Lord himself wins OK then we can mark it down to the personality cult he has built up around him, but if 3 or 4 of them win (even worse if it's in the 5-10 range) then that suggests they have arrived and might do better still in the future.

He probably skims a bit off the top as payment for laundering it from whatever Russian source uses him as a donation mule.

If Frog Lord loses Clapton/Clacton he will walk a seat in the Welsh Senedd in 2026 - but he’ll have to move to Wales (they changed the rules recently)

Last push for Phil. this is the hideous jacket I've mentioned b4. Had it since brexit

 

[DotCommunist]

The kitchener poster knock off is a nice touch. Knows his audience

 

[Puddy_Tat]

DotCommunist - did you mean to leave name and postal address on that?

 

[belboid]

It’s a national thing, it’s on the back of my local leaflet. And it’s not one that’ll make a great impact on the audience here.

Your name and address is visible on that Hollobone flyer.

 

[DotCommunist]

Thanks all. You'll just have to Google the jacket now

Don’t know how you cope in such a deadline dominated environment

 

[mojo pixy]

Not that strange IME, such arrogant people almost never have the kind of grace or resilience necessary to deal with being mocked. In short, they invariably freak out or get nasty or both.

What's a cheque grandad?

 

[MickiQ]

What's a cheque grandad?

It's like a bank transaction except you can actually see it.

Busy day for me election day will be. Going the dentists in the morning, take two bags of stuff to the charity shop and finally feed my daughter's cat since she and her husband are taking our granddaughter to meet her father's family for the first time.
Other than feeding the Demonbeast there is a certain element of criticising the Tories in my activities, my dentist long abandoned the NHS and the charity stuff is ever more appreciative of clothes to meet the growing demand.

Similar down here. We were both out, but ours suggested the candidate may have knocked which might have been fun if we were in because mrs mx has worked with our Lib candidate a few years ago.

Her comment may have been along the lines of “I hope he’s a better politician than he was a vet.”

 

[cupid_stunt]

OFCOM has rejected complaints over C-4 News' 'Undercover - inside Reform's campaign', which because of it being during the election period, they have urgently assessed, and have concluded that they do not raise substantive issues warranting further investigation, and that Farage should go boil his fucking head.

OK, the last bit I made up.
