Looks like she’s having a mare.

Trans rights is obviously the massive issue that the whole country is talking about and there's not much else going on at the moment anyway.

...are all the candidates saying they're going to abandon net zero commitments? They like this weather? They want more heat...sod the rest of them?

[steviewevie]

Sunak the thatchertite is the left wing candidate apparently.

“PM’s assassin Javid” - there’s going to be so much mud-slinging and accusations thrown about over the next few weeks.

Looks like socialist Sunak is a lock-on for the final two. The other one is up for grabs. Do the Tory press have much sway over Conservative members like they do with the public when it comes to Election Day?

Tories are taking dead cat stories too literally now.

whoever wins is going to need to spend lots more in September because of cost of living...and if they're going to do tax cuts then that means more borrowing...on top of all the borrowing already...and they still going to stick to tory manifesto on social care, levelling up and net zero? more spending, more borrowing...if they're not, then we need another election surely?

Mordaunt just referenced Macca's Glastonbury set - "no-one wants to hear the new stuff, all anyone wants are the old hits".

They won't openly admit it, but I expect Labour fear a Mordaunt win the most.

It depresses me so much to say this... but I suspect Labour will gain at least a small advantage whoever gets the job, providing they're not white and male.

I didn't even realise Alba had any MP's I thought they were all SNP. So I guess the stunt worked from that point of view.
