Starmer has made one of the top KCs in the land his attorney general. Starmer has made one of the top scientists in the land his science minister. This is how to run a government, actual experts. (@Sjl2729)

4 hours v 20 mins even using that metric is still appalling.

If you watch the BBC then based on coverage Reform came third above the Lib Dem’s and who are the Greens. The unacceptable bias of the BBC as a public service broadcaster must be addressed as a priority along with media being owned by non tax paying non doms living abroad.

I could only watch the BBC for a few minutes because of the appalling biased reporting. Apparently winning by a landslide is a problem for labour. The Greens get as many seats as reform but barely a mention. LK must go, poor Clive looked embarrassed.

The Tories have been urging their members to get out and vote even ringing around according to my neighbour. Don’t fall for the landslide projections by the right wing media make it real by actually voting and getting all your family and youngsters to vote before it’s too late.

It seems the Tories are going to blame the Post Office when they lose maintaining their mantra it s always someone else’s fault.

Even the City finance experts believe Labour will be a vast improvement over the Conservatives. Unbelievable in my lifetime that this would ever be said.

There has never ever been such an immoral, dishonest liar as a president before that needed immunity to protect him. The act of independence was specifically to break away from such tyranny. Trump and his political allies in the Supreme Court have effectively trashed American democracy.

We think we’re in a mess but bloody hell, America is losing its mind…and any semblance of democracy. The founding fathers must be spinning in their graves and the Statue of Liberty may well crumble into the sea in shame…

The Tory election campaign has all the dignity and self-reflection of an out-of-control toddler howling, throwing things and soiling itself in a supermarket aisle… I guess it was always going to be their most desperate supertantrum.

The decline in quality and availability of our fresh food is a disgrace as much as the inflated profits of the supermarkets during a cost of living crisis.

Hearing a lot about people planning to abstain from voting because they think Labour are sure to win so they don’t need to vote. I have never heard of a dumber thing and if people have already forgotten that this is what enabled Brexit to happen, we’re beyond hope. (P Bell)

So Sunak, Cleverly etc have decided that lying and false scare stories are their approach this week despite this being the main reason even their own supporters won’t vote for them.

Why voting Conservative condemns too many to a life of misery that should never of happened in the first place. 14 years of income growth for the richest paid for by everyone else.

The Tories are in their tailspin descent now, shrieking warnings about how the sky will fall in if we don’t save them. They don’t see how much we want them to crash and burn. How angry we are with the damage they’ve done. How we will not forgive or forget.

Presumably the #Telegraph derive ‘pleasure’ from things such as a child poverty, food banks, excrement in rivers, lakes & coastlines, a failing NHS, unliveable housing & extortionate fuel & food prices?

A simple truth that the Conservatives have lost sight of. Being an MP should be about public service not personal wealth creation.

The liar in chief, Johnson, created a Trumpian agenda where the Conservative Party see lies as an acceptable political strategy and the public as gullible fools. Hopefully the election will show this is the UK not the USA.

The Tory chancellor has been accused of "throwing the kitchen sink" at keeping his seat after donating £32k in two months to his local party. Jeremy Hunt, multi millionaire, using his personal wealth to buy his seat to be an MP. Is this the 21st century or the 18th century?

When I hear Rishi Sunak use the word “Surrender” I immediately think of him ducking out of the final afternoon of D Day Commemorations with representatives of our Allies and our former Enemy Why do so many people on the right who use the language of War always turn out to be the least Patriotic?

So Sunak’s winning strategy was to be rude and tell even more lies and at the same time CCHQ tries to deceive voters by pretending to be a fact checking site. Dishonesty and lack of accountability is the main reason even its own voters will not support this government.
