[Ill Advised]

I just read Sunak hasn’t done a broadcast interview in 48 hours now?

When's the next head-to-head with Starmer? Is it Wednesday?

 

[lolly]

I only just realised Rees-Mogg IS standing again!

 

[funky]

I hope he brings that snivelling dweeb of a son onto the stage with him when he loses

 

[Slave]

When's the next head-to-head with Starmer? Is it Wednesday?

Yes. And given the immediate reaction to the last one is about the only good(ish) news he's had during the campaign so far, I do wonder whether they might try to keep the media at a distance for the next few days and then bring him out on the attack on Wednesday.

That's my assumption. They'll be training him up and doubtless cobbling together a few more fake stats and other general rubbish.

 

[gggggg]

The format is different this week, it’s an interview, then audience questions. Unclear whether the leaders will even be on stage at the same time.

Or in Sunak's case, there at all...

Hook me up for more blue-on-blue violence.

Douglas Ross has just resigned as Scottish Conservative leader after stealing a sick man's safe seat



No idea who will replace him, I don't think there are any remotely competent Tories in the Scottish Parliament these days.

Fixed

 

[octophone]

Pathetic that he's only resigning as leader - he's still standing. He should piss off completely. Rat.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Still think we could have the death penalty by the end of this campaign.

 

[big ron]

BRING BACK HANGING to no longer be a joke.

 

[GNL]

Considering he went from "the Rwanda scheme is a disaster" to "we would do it as long as it was legal" in front of a live studio audience, I expect Keir Starmer to pledge to hang, draw and quarter country lines gangs by the end of the week.

Kier working as a medieval executioner by Friday is quite the jump.

Got to love his speed and commitment.

Oh she's PRESSED

Just got my polling card

Sturgeon as a pundit is an interesting development

 

[jivafox]

Hopefully she cheers ecstatically each time a Tory loses its seat.

Hopefully she cheers ecstatically each time a Tory loses its seat.

Not every time, she'd be knackered by 2am.

 

[GNL]

Maybe they could use her crooked caravan as a green room.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

Unfortunately, I suspect they won't allow her to have a bottle of Blossom Hill on the go in the studio...

Ian Gribbin, the party's candidate in Bexhill and Battle, also wrote online that women were the "sponging gender" and should be "deprived of health care".

A Reform spokesman said the comments were not "endorsements" but "written with an eye to inconvenient perspectives and truths", while his remarks about women were "tongue in cheek".

 

[dmlaw]

Reform actually consider that guy to be a bleeding heart liberal because they mostly think that we should have joined Hitler.

 

[GNL]

This from the Reform spokesperson:

"His historical perspective of what the UK could have done in the 30s was shared by the vast majority of the British establishment including the BBC of its day, and is probably true."

 

[Lucille]

Oh that’s not…

 

[funky]

Here we are all worried about the far right gaining control in the UK and they need to be destroyed and forgetting that history has shown us that the far right are much better at destroying themselves

 

[Jark]

I would certainly argue that history has shown us we SHOULD BE WORRIED about the far right

This from the Reform spokesperson:

So the BBC (or the version of it's day) are trustworthy!

Not like the right-wingers to be contradictory at all!

 

[ButterTart]

Fucking scum. I hate Sunak with a burning passion but I was disgusted at the loaded language Farage used about him ‘not understanding our culture’. Absolute fucking TRASH.
