The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[Calamity1971]

Speakers & cables are out, but no lecturn, as Sky is suggesting he'll make the statement from inside No. 10, because of the rain.

No one wants to look like a drowned rat

 

[souljacker]

At fucking last.

 

[Sue]

As my old would have said “Is the bugger made of sugar?”

I see they knew my Mum.

 

[Calamity1971]

Has he not got a hood? He's not going to melt. (To paraphrase my Mum.)

Or your skin is waterproof ( my mum).

 

[Sasaferrato]

FFS! Get on with this. The Chase should be on.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Battle spirit.

If only they were the government of a country where rain was quite common, and some kind of preparation for precipitation could already be in place.

 

[brogdale]

So ratboy thinks England will get to the quarterfinals, then?

 

[Orang Utan]

Does this mean they’ve given up on Rwanda?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Lectern Alert!!!

Correction, the lecturn is out!

 

[Silas Loom]

I still don't really understand the logic of this scenario, from a Tory POV*. Wouldn't the best thing for them to be to let Sunak go down with the ship, take the flak, and then start 'fresh' after the election. Wouldn't chucking Sunak just make them look even more out of control at this stage?





*I know, I know, but generally they'll act with at least some self-interest...

It makes sense if you are a red wall MP who thinks that enough red meat (hang immigrants? Ban woke A-levels?) would save your seat and that Cruella is just the ticket. The motivation is to save one’s own job, not Sunak’s.

Please bucket down 2 minutes in.

Here he comes.

Oh aye, I don't think anyone's looking to save Sunak's job. Rather more that I'm surprised anyone else would want it, pre-election.

He's also got the perfect length trousers if there was a flood.

I guess that's one way to refer to an election.

 

[kebabking]

How does that work? Do you get them to invade the garden shed or something?

Pornhub and ice creams for the young'uns, chatting shit on Twitter and ice creams for us old farts.

 

[brogdale]

Here he comes.

Churchillian!

 

[Sue]

Listening to it sounds like he's resigning?

 

[Pickman's model]

Here he comes.

Walking down the street

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Get on with it!!

 

[ddraig]

aaaargh enough already

 

[brogdale]

Listening to it sounds like he's resigning?

He is, really

 

[Lord Camomile]

Blah, blah, blah, blah....

Listening to it sounds like he's resigning?

Oh, wait! That could be a bloody stroke of genius on his part! "Fuck the lot of you, I'm off, good luck in the election"

* do-de-do-doo *

D:Ream

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I like the fact he's being drowned out by the music!!

 

[Sue]

He is, really

Resigning rather than getting sacked but either works tbf.

Eta And getting sacked it is.

 

[Calamity1971]

Furlough scheme etc. proud to be British blah blah. How soon before he fucks back off to California.

 

[cupid_stunt]

4th July is confirmed, game on.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Things can only get better blaring
