The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[cupid_stunt]

Wonder what gb news is saying? cupid_stunt ?

I've no idea why you are asking me, I've not dipped into it since the entertaining first few of months following their car-crash of a launch.

 

[Karl Masks]

God I hope they lose. Even if that means Starmer. I can't take another five years of these arrogant horsefuckers and their culture wars and general economic tyranny

 

[Lord Camomile]

This election is going to be like the Peter Ebdon v Graeme Dott World Championship final, and I genuinely apologise to both players for the comparsion.

A cull of some of the worst cunts would do.

You could be missing the point

I hope so.

edit: Nah, I do get the point. I just get depressed at the sight of all the "baby eating anarchists" on Urban 75 getting all giggly and moon faced at the thought of the Tories getting their expected kicking on July 4th. All wanting their 2024 version of a Portillo moment.

We get it. The Tories are a shower of cunts. Now it's Labour's turn to be a shower of cunts.

TBF, the usual Tory suicide in a wet suit also involves half an orange and some rope.

So now the GE's been announced, we're in purdah. Which means locking this thread and no further discussion of politics, right?






Right?

No it's like the football. Once it's it's won that's it settled end of.

So... back to mixer taps....

This could be the biggest anticlimax of the year

This could be the worst analysis of the year

I missed seeing it live as i was driving home

 

[Cerv]

why now?
Sunak's got his job offer from Facebook and they've agreed an August start date?

 

[PR1Berske]

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

Or possibly the old constituency under a new name?

These things do happen (and as they're 20 years out of date, I'm not surprised by any confusion!)

The mind boggles...

One must have a heart of stone to watch the the soaking of little Rishi, while the band played on, without laughing.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Why does it always rain on me?

 

[brogdale]

Gary Gibbon on C4N asked how this has gone down with tory MPs...the answer; "badly"

Goes onto to say that he's not spoken to one tory MP who has a good word to say about this!

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that one

 

[Kaka Tim]

So rishi - we can do the announcement inside usuing the massive state of the art breifing room - or outside in the pissing rain with a crowd of demonstors trying to drown you out - which do you fancy?

[danny la rouge]

I think he's just thought - fuck it lets get it over with - rather than any tactical or strategic reason

Oh, sure. But it’s an interesting aside that many Scots with kids at school will likely be abroad. Who is that demographic?

Genuinely curious as to how they think it could have gone well.

 

[two sheds]

So what do we reckon? Starmer will be soft on terrorism and defence so we need a Strong Conservative Government to ward off the threat of nuclear war, which is almost a certainty now.
