Fakest laugh of the year:

BBC: "When will there be an election?" PM: [Laughs] "I've answered
that one many times." BBC: "So, what's the date?: PM: [Laughs harder.]
BBC: "Why is that funny?"

Fakest of the year, sure.

Nothing will top this though

Laugh it up cunty chops, laugh it up⌛

Problem is, he's still going to be worth 100s of millions once he's out on his arse. Literally no consequences for him or his family.

Id give him the "done in the formal and official way" if this government had done anything by the books.

Everything is "for the people of this country" while it aligns with their plans. Then it's just fuck you all.

It will obviously be announced on his personal Twitter with some dumb slogan that makes everyone think he's an insufferable buffoon, but the tory pr think will 'play out well'.

Latest Electoral Calculus GE prediction:

The low seats number of 32 is nuts, but I don't think it was that long ago that their predicted number (90 on that page) was seen an impossible, extinction level, low.

Perhaps it's possible they could still on a downward trend and haven't hit their absolute low yet.

Canada '93 is the blueprint they are following.

I saw the Tory party London elections broadcast last night on BBC and feel 5% stupider

Thanks for this - never knew about it. There's even a fun parallel with Reform.

It is really dependent on a couple of factors; what the turnout of traditional true blue Tory voters is (who may not want to switch allegiance, but don't feel compelled to vote), and the level of protest voting for Reform amongst other right-wingers.

However, Reform currently lacks a charismatic standard bearer, or even a broadly recognised one. Gratingly, I think if Nigel Farage assumes the helm his branding and zealous campaigning could be enough to bring Reform level in the polls with the Conservatives. I'm not sure that's likely, however.

He won’t stand, he’ll only associate himself with something he thinks he’ll win.

He’s too vain to risk failing again so publically.

There is often a historical perspective.
My main concern is that it has taken since early 2015 when Cameron agreed to an EU referendum under pressure from John Major's b4st4rds, until this forthcoming GE for the Tories to take the hit to their reputation as the 'Natural Party of Power'.

Hopefully we see them lose hundreds of local council seats in May to apply even more pressure on Sunak & his Cabinet of inadequates.

Farage has no aptitude for the hard work of Opposition. He is happier, and wealthier, as a media personality with no requirement to deliver any policies.
I do wonder what Johnson had on him to persuade Farage/whatever party he was leading in 2019, to stand down inst6if splitting the Right vote.

Farage stood candidates down to ensure the Tories got enough of a majority to deliver Brexit.

Assumptive London MPs after the election. Only rich sw toffs represented by Tories.

Hardest game of Blockbuster ever.

Where's the graphic from ? Is it not geographic in nature which would indicate the SW is libdem? I'd assume Bromley or chiselhurst most likely to be Tory.

I thought it was a magic eye picture. If I squint hard enough, I see an angry Daily Mail reader

Yeah, the blue hexagon on the western edge is likely Uxbridge & South Ruislip. The pre-boundary change seat of Uxbridge never went red under Blair/New Labour.

Correction, it is Ruislip, Northwood & Pinner.

Still fecking Tory in my constituency. No surprise there.
