      Here we go. It all ends here.

      Sunak v Starmer. Who will win? Grab your popcorn.

      Well, this makes the Labour sports dinner I’m attending tomorrow rather more interesting!

      Any improvements in inflation are due to global factors; the current rabble have nothing to do with it. Our water is still full of shit and the NHS is collapsing.

      And this from the Financial Times: “Government tells Britons to stockpile as part of emergency planning”

      Political seppuku. He’s had enough. Time to put him out of his misery.

      Either he’s given up or has lost his mind.

      It isn’t going to go well for you Rishi.

      Now, remember, he hasn’t said anything yet, and it’s his big moment, so try to look surprised, okay? You’ll hurt his feelings otherwise.

      Every civil servant in a major policy area waits to see what utter wank policy ideas will come from the mouth of our increasingly desperate pm.

      Every other month has been predicted over the last 6 months, lets add July to the mix

      Believe it when i see it

      Nice. Let’s get rid of the tories and then make July 4th our Independence Day.

      I feel so short of breath. It’s finally happening. It’s almost over…

      Let’s see just how strong ‘shy Tory’ factor really is. Seems like damage control for Sunak at this point. No doubt some are very happy with how things are going and don’t feel that 14 years is enough to truly judge the government.

      I can’t help but think there’s something really bad he’s worried about getting out and he’s trying to get ahead of it by calling this. I can’t possibly think what it could be that he’s worried enough to pull the trigger, but all the data shows that an autumn election would be much more beneficial to the Tories.

      Or perhaps it’s the opposite and he suspects something damning about starmer/labour is coming out?

      I don’t trust them to tell the truth. Everything they do is manipulative. Sources are not reliable. I’m going to wait and see what happens.

      I can’t see a world in which the Tories win this with all the scandal and chaos since the last election.

      Are my standards that low that i want to pop a champaign bottle just to celebrate this being called.

    21. BartholomewKnightIII on

      Are we going to get the same promises as last time, and the time before that etc…

      A cynical move hoping for people to fall for the low inflation label with no wider logic, England doing well in the euros so reducing turnout of youth votes, summer reducing youth vote, OAPs more willing to vote in sunshine, avoids predicted poor growth figure announcement and get a flight off to Rwanda.

      Honestly I would be shocked if Labour didn’t win. The Tories have systematically self-destructed for the past decade, and people are extremely angry with them over the state of the nation. At this point I expect a lot of people to vote Labour just out of spite.
