(Did they really think the people who worked there were so stupid that they wouldn't realise these men didn't? And also that the chances of some of those actual workers hating Sunak and telling the press etc were kind of high? I mean

Had one through the door from the vermin, suspiciously on the day of the announcement. Done up like a 1980s women's magazine with "you and your family" as the title.

I'm shocked, shocked i tell you.
Meanwhile in a move which should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone, our broadcasters intend to give little or no airtime to smaller parties:
Smaller parties may be squeezed out of UK election TV leadership debates
Lib Dems, Greens and SNP could lose out as broadcasters focus on head-to-heads between Sunak and Starmer
That's disgraceful. Should be boycotted by viewers unless other leaders can take part.

I had two from Labour a month or so ago, and yes they were for the GE not locals, which we didn't have here, they clearly thought it was going to happen at the same as the locals.

I haven't seen the clip (I have a very low tolerance for second-hand embarrassment
), but unless he specifically referenced Wales' chances, it's not that ridiculous to suggest they might be looking forward to a summer tournament, even though they're not in it, is it?I guess given how close Wales did get to qualifying, and Sunak being English, I can see how it might not be the best timing...

It does continue to amaze me how much people will fool themselves that other people will be fooled. In my experience, that kind of question is quite frequently met with accusations of 'overthinking it', too.(Did they really think the people who worked there were so stupid that they wouldn't realise these men didn't? And also that the chances of some of those actual workers hating Sunak and telling the press etc were kind of high? I mean

That's a shame. Was hoping he'd go Portillo.

it looks like Sunak is the only Tory campaigning. Like he's the last one left

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
Peston, on Twitter, says that the Tories now have around 150 seats to fill.
Most of them no hopers, but some of these 'emergency candidates' will end up winning seats - and there's been little time/effort put into screening them. Going to be some absolute belters in the next parliament: crooks, nonces, loons and racists.

Andrea Leadsom is also not standing, that's 78 Tory MPs now.
I mean this is mad right. All these sitting MPs not standing. So now they have six weeks to dig up some freaks and present them to the electorate. It does look like a panic. even in a diehard Tori seat, they’re going to present Charlie bobbins as the candidate. exactly. Who the fuck is Charlie bobbins etc. The donkey with blue rosette thing of course. But even so.
