June 8, 20241 yr I dont think some people understand the right at all. This election they despise the Tories more than Labour, they want to punish them and/or replace them https://x.com/politlcsuk/status/1799384301647061320?s=46 I wouldn't even rule out some Tories potentially aiding reform but it definitely won't be the other way around Agreed. As others have said here, their play here kill the Tories off or angle a merger between the two parties. Unfortunately, whatever happens it really seems the next era of politics is set for pure populism and Trumpism.
June 8, 20241 yr Author I think we could see Farage as leader of the opposition by 2029 now sadly. Anyway Sunak's candidates have full faith in him! https://x.com/PolitlcsUK/status/1799440454058205289?r=
June 8, 20241 yr :( So Reform are standing 611 candidates and there's no deal with the Tories. They are also standing on a joint ticket in Northern Ireland with the TUV, and their election posters have both parties, although due to issues with registration only TUV will be on the ballot. I also believe there’s a few seats where they have a joint ticket with the SDP.
June 8, 20241 yr Author Four Tory MPs have accepted donations from the Reclaim Party leader Lawrence Fox in return for adopting the Reclaim Party's policy. Surely Sunak needs to boot them out? https://x.com/PolitlcsUK/status/1799491000483602565
June 8, 20241 yr Sunak has cancelled ALL media interviews today!! Surely he can't be about to resign during the campaign??
June 8, 20241 yr Sunak has cancelled ALL media interviews today!! Surely he can't be about to resign during the campaign?? You nay remember that, around two weeks ago, someone called Rishi Sunak was accusing Keir Starmer of cowardice for not agreeing to do a head-to-head debate in every week of the campaign. I wonder if the two Rishi Sunaks are related :unsure:
June 8, 20241 yr Four Tory MPs have accepted donations from the Reclaim Party leader Lawrence Fox in return for adopting the Reclaim Party's policy. The name similarity between 'Reclaim' and 'Reform' might lead to some confusion?
June 9, 20241 yr From Monday the polls should be fully clear and have a better idea how bad this will be for the Tories. Personally I think 50 seats or less isn't off the table at all. Over 150 seats is 7/1 right its more likely they get less than 10 than over 200
June 9, 20241 yr I still think back to Alex Brooker (from The Last Leg) who, in 2015, made the observation that Tory Manifesto sounds like a porn star.
June 9, 20241 yr Lab: 533 Con: 37 LD: 44 Reform:0 Green: 1 Current electoral calculus based on national %
June 9, 20241 yr Author Lab: 533 Con: 37 LD: 44 Reform:0 Green: 1 Current electoral calculus based on national % I still find it highly unlikely Labour will get that sort of majority. I think the Reform vote in traditionally Labour areas is being drastically under-read by Electoral Calculus.
June 9, 20241 yr Author McVey has to be taking the piss here. Truss anybody? https://www.threads.net/@politicsintheuk/post/C7_8zEniRLH Seeing reactions like this makes me think single digits is actually on the cards for the Tories.
June 9, 20241 yr The Tories are now promising to end the ULEZ extension in London if they win. So much for local democracy.
June 9, 20241 yr "Labour is set for a majority of 416 at the upcoming general election, leaving the Tories at just 37 seats, according to the new Deltapoll survey, which puts Sir Keir Starmer’s party on 46 per cent compared to the Conservatives on 21 per cent – with even the prime minister set to lose his Yorkshire seat." Rhey krrp denying he's about to resign mid campaign too, but honestly ... I think they would rally under no leader tbh. He's deeply unpopular. They could pin ALL the blame on him, like always, and have the main contenders for leader front and centre. There's no way they can allow the party to fall to 68 seats.
June 9, 20241 yr I wonder if Sunak realises why his D-Day mistake went down so badly? His whole thing during this campaign has been banging on about National Service and conscription. Who does he think the people celebrated by D-Day are?
June 9, 20241 yr Author Richard Holden's advisor steps in to stop him bursting into tears live on air. https://x.com/christiancalgie/status/1799859124047593566
June 9, 20241 yr Appears the strategy is to keep Sunak out of the way as much as possible from now on, but then there is another debate coming up. Tories could promise a million for everybody it wont move the needle, nobody believes anything they're saying anymore
