PS I'm not saying Starmer will disappoint but what might happen if he did.

Maybe I'm worrying over nothing but I think there's a danger we head down the French route. Starmer disappoints a la Hollande, left vote fractures. Reform cleans up their image enough to scoop more voters disaffected by main parties and wins more MPs. Opens door for coalition with Tories.

Basically London is far wealthier than everywhere else in the UK. Tories promised to close that gap by investing in left behind areas. I reality they spent time trashing London and allocating funds to their own constituencies regardless of whether there were other poorer areas in need.

Yeah but the 1922 committee basically just make the rules up on nominations each each time so expect the 100 mp rule might change.

In a night of feelgood Tory losses I just saw Dougie Ross lost. Hope for a fun subplot of extra infighting among Scottish Tories.

Let's all spare a thought for Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross. Deselected Tory MP, David Duguid, from his safe seat while he was in hospital so that Dougie could nab it for himself. Then lost anyway. Lol. Lmao even.

Four Reform seats is four too many. But to be second in so many is particularly worrying. No one should be complacent. #UKGE2024 3/3

Real reason Sunak called the election now - to get Galloway out of parliament again.

During my canvassing in suburban London for Labour I met literally met one voter who raised ULEZ on the doorstep. He was planning on voting Labour because he blamed the government for it. Lol.

Even if they get 50 senators on board they don't have the congressional majority to pack the court. As a non-USian I'm watching the rather rapid slide of your country towards a managed democracy in horror. Not sure how you arrest it now.

Yeah, that sounds like nobody has been around. Although I don't find even that surprising. I've done my share of canvassing and it's impossible to get around everywhere.

But realistically all the parties rely on volunteers going out and doing the door knocking. Given number of households vs number of volunteers it's likely most people will be knocked once and if they're not in, that's it.

Exactly right. This isn't some small issue we can let slide like 34 felony convictions, raping E. Jean Carroll or trying to overthrow the Government, Biden is old!

I keep saying this but it's blowing my mind. The Republicans didn't wet their pants as much as this when their guy was convicted of 34 felonies nor when he was slapped with millions in damages for denying he raped E. Jean Carroll.

Any calls to replace the convicted felon? Or are felony convictions no reason to replace a candidate?

Right? One of the candidates is a convicted felon and rapist who speaks in word salad. None of that has caused the media or GOP political operatives to freak out and say he needs to withdraw.

Anything good that's happened or might happen is due to him. He's PM after all. Anything bad is due to forces outside his control. Anyone who can't see that is being unreasonable.

Not sure what you mean by decoding movies but is it analogous to what people do in English at school with books? I didn't necessarily enjoy doing that at school but it also didn't stop me enjoying reading.

OK so your view is he's done the best given the PM. Given what we know about Sunak I'm willing to believe that.

I grant he's not Kwarteng/Truss disaster level but his cuts to NI are also not really what country needs. Am I being unfair to him?

I haven't thought of him as being particularly good. Has he done much to solve problems that are ultimately caused by under investment? eg Councils still struggling due to central govt cuts. Crumbling hospitals and schools? Cuts to HS2 including the final section to HS2. Housing.

In my bit of Hampstead and Highgate I haven't had leaflets from either yet but I'll be amused if I get a leaflet from the independent before the Tories.

OK but have you considered that his advisors have an accumulator on July election, PM loses seat and Tories under 100 MPs.
