VOLT won an EP seat in Germany in 2019. I'm curious to see if MERA take a seat this time, that's the German franchise of Varoufakis's crowd.

D-day was 80 fucking years ago and everyone who was involved is dead. How long are the flag-fuckers going to keep doing all this performative memorial shite? Lest we forget, it was the militant nationalist fanatics who were the bad guys in 1944.
Not quite everyone involved is dead yet, there are still several hundred veterans alive who were late teens or early 20s at the time, some over 100 years old and some in their 90s.
Although not many left and it won't be long now.

Boris Johnson is far too leftwing to be allowed to join Labour let alone stand for election. They want defectors like Elphicke and candidates like Akehurst. However, the Liberals might take him. The could send him of to North Durham.

The last British ww1 infantry soldier died in 2009 so maybe another decade or so till the last D-day veteran goes.

Well, enough of the hypotheticals already...at least, after tomorrow, we can look forward to the deluge of shit that opposing parties have got from doxing racist candidates
The Times has jumped in early, with this on their front page this morning.

100% expecting some of this sort of stuff about Labour candidates once it's too late to swap them out, like Rochdale all over again.

Maybe you'd like to explain your reading of the room and insight into how parliamentary processes work, because I confess to being equally baffled as to how the presence of even 80 LD MPs (and I doubt they'll get anywhere near that) would persuade a Lab govt with a significant majority to introduce any form of PR.

Advanced. Forthright. Signifficant.
Helping hand for Tories in sewage-swamped shires. The Times is the last bastion of Sunak support.

Thanks for sharing.
Adam Pugh seems not on the same page as Carla Denyer or Adrian Ramsey.
I assume that he is not currently a candidate - until 5pm today.
I am a Green Party member - but I am somewhat semidetached. If I lived in Deptford and he was the candidate I would vote Lib Dem.
Not on Israel Palestine grounds - more he seems to me like a Militant entryist.

No, a private jet apparently. The optics of the whole thing were astonishing. He clearly does not want to win this election. Leaving Starmer there to be photographed with Zelensky and Biden.. I mean.

Final nail in the coffin? Even the BBC are reporting this as "an extraordinary own goal".

Rishi Sunak’s decision to leave the most poignant event in Europe early was always likely to be spotted.

That is astonishingly inept. Surely that is gifting at least a couple of points from Tories to Reform?Final nail in the coffin? Even the BBC are reporting this as "an extraordinary own goal".

The thought has crossed my mind as well. Surely nobody advised him to do that?
