General Election 2024

ITV announces first head-to-head General Election debate -- Sunak vs Starmer -- Tuesday 4th June at 9pm, for an hour.

Abbott is consistently terrible for Labour electoral chances

Yeah, she's not well liked, because of the above and Corbyn relations, and she probably should've been gotten rid of when she did a racism when all this could've been avoided.

But then they couldn't parachute in a carefully selected candidate and the local party would have chosen someone instead? (happy to be corrected on this one)

because of the racism

ftfy

obvs not just that but it's a fucking massive part of it

Neal Coyle? Drunken and racist abuse. Whip restored, still an MP.
Rupa Huq? "Superficially he is a black man… if you hear him on the Today Programme, you wouldn't know he is black." Still an MP.

The Abbot clusterfuck matters because it opens a lid on the party internal processes.

Wee Duggie is back though!

Tories are fighting dirty & the polls show people aren't impressed.

@RichardGCorbett
I now hear that
@bbcquestiontime
has booked Nigel Farage for tomorrow

He’s not a candidate

He’s not a party leader

He’s a discredited liar

But #bbcqt has always backed Farage. They made him a public figure by putting him on their panel 22 times
(Anti Brexit MEPs never put on)

Kind of doubt many people will base their vote on something as arcane as party internal processes. Noone will be talking about this by Friday.

Labour have suspended the Brighton MP Lloyd Russell Moyle and told him he can't be a candidate

Farage and Piers Morgan no less. Sheesh.

I have a ticket for this Friday night
Anyone have a question they like me to ask?

Ask Farage why he such a massive cunt, Piers.... Same question to you.

Now that Liz Truss is campaigning for Donald Trump, should she continue to receive the former Prime Minister's allowance of £125,000 per annum?

edit: it's 115k and it's for expenses associated with being ex PM. So maybe a better question would be about who's paying for her flights to the US to shill for wannabe dictators etc

Has anyone on the panel or in the audience benefited from Brexit?

Tempting

Not to mention appearing in other company of equal ill-repute

A bet, of say £1000 on the answer?

It’s an angle
Fertile ground, this

Anyone have a question they like me to ask?

No, but I’ve got a hand grenade I’m not using at the moment.

At the UK's current post-Brexit rate of decline, could the panel predict when we will see British teenagers seeking asylum in Rwanda to escape compulsory military service?

Well, yes, but violence isn’t the answer… er

Nested triple trap ambush question which I suspect at least three of the panel couldn’t see as other than sunlit upland results?
