General Election 2024

Absolutely!!!

Very bleak indeed, validates his overt racism

Dr Fry.

Fair, but it's not a question of inner workings. It's what the vote distribution looks like. Their inner workings will be reflected in that.

Coffee some time?

Sunk sunk.

The targetting of resources, within a rigged FPTP system, is the difference between 1992 and today.
Far preferable to have 5 years to deliver Labour policies than 5 more years of impotent opposition.

Is this to do with 'mrp' I saw it mentioned a fair bit about it's ability to fuzz intentions, particularly the don't know's' ?

Who knew that standing drenched in the rain to announce an election might not be a good look 🤣

Have we not mentioned Miriam fucking Cates yet?

And Johnson's replacement in Uxbridge being defenestrated after a few short months?

Have we laughed at Steve Baker?

At about 5 past 10, when he was in the BBC studio and they were showing him his <1% chance of winning.

Steve Tuckwell, an underperforming local councillor, was selected on locality.
He surfed to the HoP on an anti-ULEZ campaign, that was deflated by the May '24 London Mayoral election.
He will return to obscurity within the council.

Aah, I joined the coverage late, after a pretty traffic-free urban bike ride.

We have a Labour MP for the first time ever. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy its not the Conservatives but I wish it was a Labour party that wants to deliver real social change.

I thought that both Rutherford and Fry were both Doctors.

There goes my conformational bias.

I’d obviously have preferred that both Herefordshire Tory MPs would get their P45s but I did really fear that Wiggin would just about hold on in North Herefordshire while Norman, far preferable to Wiggin albeit still an Old Etonian Tory, would be ousted in Hereford and South Herefordshire.

So, if one did survive, I’m glad that it was Norman.

But yes on the pollution of the Wye being addressed, feel hopeful in Ellie Chowns whereas Wiggin wouldn’t have touched the farmers (remember his support for John Price’s environmental destruction of the Lugg for which he - Price - got a custodial sentence? A recent poll on The Hereford Times, with 10+k responses, gave 86% thinking Price was entirely wrong. Would be delicious if Wiggin’s support cost him votes.

Edit - this comment below The Hereford Times poll illustrates the above

“Good comment! Wiggin, a thief by nature & convicted thief also refused to vote on the recent rivers pollution bill. He is paid to vote yet prefers to choose not to if it upsets his chicken s--t farmer friends when he feels it necessary!“)

Starmer out!

You might have to wait for his 2nd term.

They are, but "Professor" trumps "Dr" in terms of which title to use.

Ian Hislop on the radio.

Presenter: Politics may get more boring for a while. Is Private Eye going to be short of content?

Hislop: There has never been a time when we were short of content.

You expected a Tory to be capable of emotion?

It's what the vote distribution looks like

That's maths so I can't help you with that :)
