I was only two weeks out
Perhaps some symbolism behind the date.
starmer with a lot of work to do now that rishi has shown that he can do it on a wet wednesday evening in sw1.
The day after the local elections, someone wrote that the Green Party will be declared anti-semitic in about 2 months. They've done it even faster!
Very good.
Thank you
The hero we deserve.
Which one is Rishi?
So Nathalie Elphicke's career as a Labour MP didn't last very long - 2 weeks and counting - or did it?
Oh my god that would be so funny!
Honestly it would almost be worth enduring a few more months of Tory rule, just on the basis that if they do that they will obliterate whatever remnants of public support they are still clinging to - it would be a genuinely existential blow to the Tories.
Only the Tories could be given free will on when and how to call an election and screw it up so badly.
Don't worry, she's already been promised a job with the party without that whole accountability at the ballot box thing that gets in the way.
So Sunak's amazing pitch is don't vote Labour because they will not implement my plans?
Rwanda flights can't leave before 4 July, therefore it is Starmer's fault that they will probably never leave.

Is that definite? I'd read somewhere they're hoping to get at least one off by then and think they can. I guess the number of boats coming over is going to increase massively as summer gets going, so they want to avoid that backdrop.
EDIT:
Pretty much definite. He was on Radio 4 this morning and said they will go if he's re-elected on the 4th of July.
So, do we think Sunak has any chance of winning? I think united beating city in the FA Cup final has higher odds 
Best he can hope for is a hung parliament. Though even if he manages to fluke that outcome, he'd have trouble convincing other parties to join up in coalition. The Lib Dems for one need no reminding as to how catastrophic it was for them the last time they got into bed with the Tories.So, do we think Sunak has any chance of winning?

Conveniently cements the inevitable Tory electoral slogal of 'Lets get Rwanda done'.

Our tactics will deffo be similar. Be negative, wait for the opponents to make a mistake,very to steal the result, probably won't bother to correct past mistakes.
Michael Gove announcing that he is standing down at the next election in July.
This is actually going to be an absolute rout. They’re going to be decimated.
Quite possibly the only high level tory capable of pragmatic thinking and not clouded by ideology. This will hurt them a lot.
Hopefully.
Yes. I have to say that he was reasonably sensible for a Tory. That must be why he is standing down.
Andrea Leadsome jumping ship too.
Widely regarded as the most competent MP on their roster. As evidenced by him standing down. He knows the game. He’s an unflushable turd. One flush you’re annoyed. Two flushes pissed off. By the fifth flush you see a delayed creep back around the u-bend into the bowl and you’re kind of impressed.

Lib Dems will win more seats. They’re toast.
Neither. rats, the domesticated kind are lovely little critters. (those two look like domesticated rats)
Which one is Rishi?
Sunak is not.
You couldn't make it up. Every time he appears in public he seems to make some kind of memeable cock up.
I thought this. But I had radio 5 on all day yesterday while working. It was like a tory publicity channel, with occasional Reform interludes.
I'm exaggerating a bit of course, but given their lack of popularity right now I don't see why they should still dominate the airwaves. Galloway has not had a single mention, that I've heard, in the last 2 days. And of course, they won't play audio of Corbyn, they prefer to tell us what he said. A trick they used constantly when he was labour leader. Yet Tice, Starmer and Sunak get their little soundbites repeated throughout the day.
If that's how the beeb are going to treat this election, it might not go as well as many of us hope.
He's not going to actually answer a single question during this campaign, is he? His delivery of the memorised lines and facts is so wooden too, he's bad at even that.
I wonder whether the same press that praised Boris for similar will treat Sunak terribly for doing the same.
No words.
