Bring Back Boris!

In all my many years watching politics this is the oddest election yet.

2 weeks out and it is dropping off TV headlines, few candidates out on the streets (and we are a 'swing seat'), it all feels like a done deal (which it almost certainly is), the Tories have more or less given up, most have vanished already and Sunak is a lost fool in a land of fools.

Even this thread is getting fewer and fewer posts which really should be the other way.

I wish politicians were distracted by that but it is them who have gone awol lots.

It's all a bit anti-climactic as the exit poll at 10pm on the 4th July will be.

they're the two things where most wealth is retained. the greens would have to go for them too, if their big wish-list isn't a lie!

Not for me. If the exit poll confirms it, I will be opening the champagne early. Personally I can't wait to stay up until the early hours to see loads of high profile Tory c**ts losing their seats!

 

Not that I'm taking it for granted! 😃

Well hyped for the punksnotdead running commentary on July 4th

Aye, there could be a few drunken posts, so I'll apologise in advance! 😄

The BBC have just stitched up Holly vallance.

 

They said she donated to reform but was probably really her billionaire fella.

This is a very good point well made.

 

Thank you
