The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[Dogsauce]

Might be deliberately ambiguous, Labour probably want Reform to take votes from the Tories.

Be careful what you wish for though...

Exactly. It could be quite easy to build up Reform into something capable of taking many seats over the next couple of weeks, the media would definitely be up for playing along, think of the clicks. There’s a strong ‘fuck them all’ sentiment in society and they could well capitalise on it, and plenty of powerful interests happy to give them a bit of momentum. Look at all the media attention Farage got for announcing he was running, compared with other smaller parties.

Is it an actual ad or something somebody did for the lols?

Looks like 2 of the coventry seats candidate lists are published but not mine (coventry south) yet.

Valance has been right-wing for a while, she married billionaire property developer Nick Candy in 2012 who's a Tory donor and the couple have been known to hang our with Farage and Trump:

From Ramsay Street to Mar-a-Lago: Why is Holly Valance hanging out with Donald Trump?

It seems the former Neighbours star would rather press the flesh at Mar-a-Lago than return to Ramsay Street.

One might think that being the daughter of an immigrant Serbian who then emigrated to the US and UK might put her off representing a party that's all about shutting borders, but I suppose that only applies to poor people.

Slept with her sister's fiancé too. Right wrong-un.

Probably get Richard Hillman to stand for them next

 

[kebabking]

Oh yes indeedy....



Shit the fucking bed.

 

[Silas Loom]

So no candidate fielded?

Looks safe Lab anyway, assuming it’s Batley and Spen with a new hat.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Does it matter? If the country unites in getting the Tories out, Labour is always the beneficiary. Generic anti-Sunak messaging is a shrewd choice.

Exactly

 

[belboid]

Oh yes indeedy....



Shit the fucking bed.

a new seat, buy one that 'should' have ben tory in 2019. Kim Leadbetter up this time, no question she would have walked it anyway.

 

[chilango]

Oooh. Cat amongst the pigeons. TUSC are standing in Reading Central.

 

[Silas Loom]

Oooh. Cat amongst the pigeons. TUSC are standing in Reading Central.

Hardly likely to trouble any pigeon, really.

 

[moochedit]

Oooh. Cat amongst the pigeons. TUSC are standing in Reading Central.

They normally stand in my seat but we've got galloways lot this time.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Oh yes indeedy....



Shit the fucking bed.

Surprising. I'd have bet on the first nonce to be Refuk.

Leicester East has been blessed with not one but two ex-Labour MP expellees on the ballot, as well as the actual Labour candidate.

Keith Vaz trying to make a come back, plus Claudia Webbe the current independent MP since she had the whip removed this parliament.
Galloway must be feeling left out.

Disgraced Keith Vaz expelled from Labour as he stands for One Leicester party

Exclusive: Vaz to run in Leicester East, infuriating Labour candidates who have campaigned for his eviction for years

[strung out]

hardly the only one standing either. Dave R from Blur and some bloke from Clean Bandit could end up as MP's the way things are going.

Tom Gray from Gomez is standing in Brighton Pavilion too.

 

[redsquirrel]

Fucking Gomez, they would stand for Starmer's Labour

 

[kebabking]

Holly didn't get the nod in Basildon.

 

[PR1Berske]

Rishi's seat:

 

[Silas Loom]

Holly didn't get the nod in Basildon.

Nor did Kylie in Chipping Barnet. What’s going on?

 

[redsquirrel]

Rio Goldhammer is an excellent name I'd be tempted to vote them just for that

They're all up on wikipedia already. Swift work.

He's fucked, but here's a snap metric of just how fucked. 43% = his whole core and far more, and check out the R:L consistency.

Couldn't he just say he had to drive to Barnard Castle for an eye test?

 

[moochedit]

My mum lives in the "kenilworth and southam" seat and has got a monster raving looney candidate i'm jealous

 

[redsquirrel]

Tom Gray from Gomez is standing in Brighton Pavilion too.

No Tory either so Green vs Labour

 

[Puddy_Tat]

Nothing exciting in Wokingham constituency - vermin, lib dem, labour, green and refuck.

Sorry if already posted but looks like some dodgy goings on in corbyns seat. If you scroll down there is a second rejected "jeremy corbyn" at the bottom

Oh joy, Leeds Central and Headingley has a Workers Party candidate.
No socialist candidate so it comes down whether I can be bothered to vote Green in the vain hope of screwing Labour
