Whilst being in favour of a revamp of our democratic process I can’t but laugh at all those conservative and reform characters saying we need PR but don’t want the Brexit vote redone and had no complaints when Johnson won by a landslide. Hypocrisy writ large.

The Green Party now has 4 seats, the same number as Reform. I wonder who will get more TV coverage.

You MUST Vote! Especially if you are a woman. They died so you had the right to vote, to decide who represents you in our democracy. Please vote. Polling stations are everywhere & open all day & most of the evening. Take photo ID & help our country recover from the Corrupt & Incompetent Tories.

On July 4th vote. If you want to live in a democracy, you have to take part. Don’t leave it to others to decide who governs. Your vote does matter. July4th result is not guaranteed to be what the polls predict. You must vote to make it happen. If you want the Tories out, you have to vote them out.

The election is not just about disliking Labour or their stance on Brexit. It's about the potential for the Tories to come in third place, which is a game-changer. Imagine the impact if this were to happen. It could be the end of their political influence, instead of just a temporary setback."

What utter bilge Rishi Sunak You’ve had your time. You Tories have had 14 years of our lives and it’s been nothing short of a catastrofucking disaster. No way we’re entrusting you with a single second of our future after that. We’re so voting you out and we cannot bloody wait.

That's £12 000 000 paid into the conservative party from public funds. It surely has to be illegal.

Reform ‘candidates’ are complaining that they’re not receiving any funds for campaigning. They’re not very smart, are they? They haven’t figured out that they’re not ‘standing for a political party’ but working for a Limited Company owned by Farage & Tice. Any Reform ‘funds’ go into their pockets 😂

The Tory wettie in the face of electoral annihilation is something to behold. Quite happy to rely on FPTP when it returned them to power. Now soiling themselves at the prospect of Labour winning big. Their sense of entitlement to power untouched by their own epic failure.

If you were wondering how well Sunak's announcement of a general election on 4th July is working out for the Tories, the Labour Party just turned a photo of it into an election poster.

Does Sunak honestly believe that anyone listens or believes anything he says anymore? Do you know, I think he’s so out of touch he might actually think so…

Caroline Lucas nailed it with: "These are people's lives they're gambling over. Yet Sunak thinks nothing of agreeing a £1k bet. He's supposed to be the head of government, not a punter in a casino".
