Lets be having you!
Westminster Politics
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Ffs I'm on holiday that week so won't be able to do the count.
More a combo of gilt yields collapsing, increasing longevity, outdated modelling etc...They just became unviable if people are living 20 years beyond retirement, rather than five or so when they were introduced, particularly for companies with massive workforces.
This sort of chaos is objectively very funny and only possible by this version of the Tory party.
Fecking call it and buy some longer trousers while you’re at it!
An absolute turn up for the books. I thought they would hold off for as long as possible without making it seem too desperate (November/December election). Perhaps they have realised that the economic news is as rosy as it's going to get this year so decided to go now?
Yeah, Hunt can't make the cuts he want.
Maybe an element of struggling to get people out canvassing in the dark autumn/winter? Or am I reaching?
Students will be home from Universities and might not be able to vote.
Imagine not voting Conservatives when football is home, in the place where it belongs.
White text.
Alright, time for another complete run through of The Thick of It in preparation.
"There'll be nothing else on television for weeks".
"There'll be nothing else on television for weeks".
So they're announcing today because of the news today of inflation "dropping" right? So the campaign feels pretty predictable, we are really gonna get the tories making the argument of economic stability vs chaos with Keir Starmer aren't we?
Probably earlier than they expected too.
Good news for Starmer.
Finally.
I fully expect Sunak to say things like "food PRICES are returning to normal" rather than price rises, political commentators surprisingly not correcting him, people falling for it, Sweet Square suddenly becoming active when Starmer eats a bacon sandwich in a weird way, and it all ending up in a hung parliament.
Oh, and Twitter skulduggery up to the maximum. Fake videos, fake polls. The works.
4 July.
6 weeks left of this shocker of a government.
12 more years!
Surprised he isn’t dragging it out over the summer to hand out a few more contracts.
It's either that or pointing out that he thinks Israel has the right to starve the population of Gaza. One of the two for sure.
Finally a chance to get these abject ghouls out of office and fire them into the sun.
Prime Minister statement at 5pm...
Absolutely amazing.
"All right now, listen up, my children of a lesser God, you will find a file marked 'snap election drill' on the J Drive, and if you don't know how to access the J Drive, hand in your pass at receptions and go buy some silver body paint and pretend to be a robot on the south bank..."

You’ve never engaged me directly on this forum before and now I don’t know what to do.

Run like hell!
sorry. i meant to quote someone else.
Slightly delayed as the straps on his booster seat have twisted
I hope they are absolutely annihilated.
Surely we can't trust labour with the economy?

he’s become too nervous and can’t revert out of his lizard form. they’re trying to calm him down with stories of a single mother who’s had her child support cut.
Good God, man. We want to calm him down not make him ejaculate.
Don't worry, they've worked out the economy's problems are all down to people on benefits getting paid peanuts again. Oh and third born children.
easiest way to get him to clear his mind.
Where have I heard of that date before?
