The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

Steve Baker, MP and Minister has come out swinging. Says this is not government policy as of as recently as Thursday. Says willing to be sacked as candidate if needs be.

Hea likely to lose his seat to Labour so I guess little to lose

He wants to start on the fast catamarans early.
 
And for the last 70 years?
Between 1935 and 1975 63,000 women who the Swedish state decided were eugenically unfit were forcibly sterilised. The Danes has a similar policy in Greenland in the 1960s and 1970s where Inuit women and girls were secretly fitted with coils to control the growth of the non-nordic population. Hardly the Social Democratic paradises some would like us to believe. And let's not forget IKEA that great purveyor of flat back furniture and Meatballs. Founded by a young Nazi, Ingvar Kamprad in 1942, run by him until his death in 2018 and widely promoted as symbolising all that is wonderful about the Swedish way

Labour taking his seat seems highly likely, he only has a majority of 2390.
 
There's a lot of chimneys need cleaning...
His Tiktok was on telly this morning and one of his suggestions was food and prescription delivery. So he thinks compelling people to work for Deliveroo is a good idea?
I don't think it’s going go win any 'yoof' votes since Youngest Q's response was 'Oh God it makes me want to hurl'
Granted a sample of one may not be representative but I think in this case it is probably good enough.
 
So, Starmer has been down here in West Sussex to deliver his first key-note speech of the election, in Lancing (Worthing East and Shoreham constituency), and now I can see why he chose West Sussex for this 'launch'.

I knew both the Worthing seats, plus Crawley were likely to switch to Labour, and OMG I must be bored, as I've just checked all the constituencies, and I am a bit taken back with the idea that they could at least take Chichester as well, and blimey is it tight in the other four seats too!

There're 8 parliamentary constituencies in West Sussex, currently all held by the Tories, however according to the electoral calculus site predictions they are likely to lose at least 4 to Labour, and with a bit of tactical voting from LDs switching to Labour, the other 4 seats could go that way too!

Arundel and South Downs - Tory win, not sure why, as they have them on 48% chance of winning, against Labour on 49%.
Bognor Regis and Littlehampton - Tory win - 52% chance, Labour 46%.
Horsham - Tory win - 34% chance, Labour 34%, LDs 32%
Mid Sussex - Tory win - 40% chance, Labour 36%, LDs 24%

Chichester - Labour win - 75% chance.
Crawley - Labour win - 94% chance.
Worthing East and Shoreham - Labour win - 97% chance.
Worthing West - Labour win - 84% chance.

The soon the Gr3ater Brighton proletarian guard gets its shit together the better
 
Likewise in Finland the far right Finns Party is a major part of the government.
And let's not forget the persecution of the Sami people either. People I know often hold the Scandinavian governments in high regard thinking it's some equal socialist society with very little darkside.

The reason young people are unhappy here isn't because we didn't have to do national service. It's because we can't afford to rent let alone buy a place and have very little hopes of retirement.
 
Apologies if already posted; even so, this is such comedy gold that deserves a repeat 😂
And from the same piece:
Nigel Farage, the honorary president of Reform UK, said the proposal for mandatory national service was a “joke” and designed to appeal to his party’s voters.
Erm, well, yes Nige, something designed to appeal to your voters and a joke.
 

MP 'suspended after endorsing Reform UK candidate'


The Conservative Party says MP Lucy Allan has been suspended for backing a Reform UK candidate. Ms Allan is standing down in Telford, Shropshire, and publicly gave her support to Reform's Alan Adams rather than Tory Hannah Campbell. A Conservative Party spokesman said she had been suspended "with immediate effect", and that "a vote for Reform is a vote for Keir Starmer". Ms Allan said she had resigned from the party to support Mr Adams to be the area's next MP.
 
hilarious that farage has shat on their "bring back conscription" lunacy. Does anybody outside of daily express land not think its batshit?

Anyway - some promising signs the tory campaign is progreesing like a clown car heading off a cliff for an appointment with a circular firing squad.

This shit is like my children smoking Crystal Meth and squabbling about what to watch on Netflix.
 
The Conservatives have used a late night reveal in The Sun (so no link) to confirm a "triple lock plus" policy.

"The Prime Minister said that people must have “peace of mind and security in retirement”.

Proposals to be included in the party’s manifesto will see both the state pension and allowance go up by the triple lock — whichever is highest out of the rate of inflation, earnings or 2.5 per cent.The forecast rise in the state pension will be £1,677 a year by 2029, with the tax-free allowance worth £275 a year by then.

Next year alone the average pensioner will see their state pension increased by £428 and the income tax cut will be worth £95.

The PM added: “Thanks to the Conservatives’ triple lock, pensions have risen by £900 this year and now we will cut their taxes by around £100 next year. This bold action demonstrates we are on the side of pensioners.”

The proposal comes after Mr Sunak was criticised over his treatment of pensioners after the Government twice cut National Insurance — which OAPs don’t pay.
