They've fired up D:Ream again

This may be the only context that song ever sounded good in

I am glad to see my speculation that he would leave as long as possible is wrong.

Perhaps this is as long as was possible and you were right. /pep talk

You'll have the chance while he's on the hustings

It might be worth getting arrested for.

A VONC is in the hands of the MPs.

I didn't have you down as some sort of conspiracy theorist; this is cock up through and through.

Cheers - Louis MacNeice

He also knows the rules, which appears to be more than can be said for a lot of Westminster.

You have to be of a certain age to appreciate the depth of the contrast between the drowned rat and Blair's " a new day has dawned has it not?"

Really? I'm in my 50s.

A cabbage patch doll with a red rosette could have led the Labour Party to victory in 1997.

The Tory campaign machine grinds into action.

Looks like a gathering of House Harkonnen after an unexpected change in the weather on Arrakis.

I’m only saying that Sunak likely went for such a hurried dissolution because letters were in the offing, and that it’s just possible that letters may cause a brief moment of constitutional excitement next week. That’s a cock-up theory through and through, surely?

 

[gosub]

During the Scottish school holidays, so if you’re counting on Labour winning a lot of seats in Scotland maybe there’ll be an effect there…

The SNP battle bus will still be in the evidence compound

He's been saying 'second half of this year' for ages now. I had thought he meant a bit more than four days in though.

Oh, dayum, I'm in a new constituency!

Or possibly the old constituency under a new name?

Now i see why someone thought this was funny:

 

[planetgeli]

Quitter.

He's obviously had enough, and nicked enough.

Doubt it, but it would be exceptionally funny if it turned out there were letters in the pipeline. Pity Natalie Elphicke still isn't in the fold, it's the sort of thing someone like her would blurt out in the middle of the campaign.

Lucky us.

Stroke of genius to play a shit song from the 90s?

You could be missing the point

 

[moochedit]

Oh God, Ed Davey is on now. Give it up mate.

Who?

These polls don’t exactly give an image of voters rubbing their hands at the inspirational leadership of Starmer or Labour’s pledges tbh .For all the talk about ruining the ship around its more to do with the fact that the Tories have capsized.

Labour are ahead in the polls, but have they won hearts and minds? These charts suggest not

There are signs the party’s polling lead is a bit soft. But with the Tories trailing in leadership and economy, experts are not sure it will matter
