Yep. A couple of months ago Labour HQ sent out letters to all MPs because they expected a snap GE before the next scheduled election, specifically to give certain MP's a chance to jump before being pushed.

Sadly it'll probably be too soon to deselect those that want to continue - we're expecting our trigger ballot to happen over late Sept/early Oct in Bristol West

Personal bug bear, does anyone else get irritated when they see a 12 hour forex chart with ridiculous axes of less than a cent. Pisses me right off when BBC article do it. If the pound is the lowest against the dollar since 1985, or the last three years, or whatever, show me that context.

Or are the market reports all being written by AIs with no sense of history now.

Edit: every day for about the past 2 weeks there's been a 'pound slides!' article on the BBC. Then you look at the chart and it's €1.10. Which is slightly higher than a couple of weeks back. Just chum and churn and arrrgh stop amplifying the idiotic market traders as a story.

10 year £ $ chart.
I posted the 12 hour one earlier so you could clearly see the dip under 1.20. But here's the overall context for 10 years. Haven't done Euros as $ has been my important context for the last 12 years (given currencies I've been using have been pegged to the $).

Political activity other than immediate campaigning effectively ceases. Eg local CLPs don't meet during the period of time (to do any 'motions' etc activity).

There's a whole bunch of them that are just "mixed X and Y" with half a dozen comments, and then every now and again boom, so it's either a very dedicated troll, an actual bot with a troll that slips one in every now and again, or just a bot and there's sufficient combinations that will get people to reliably lose their poo poo that it happens about 10% of the time.

With parliament disolved and there being no government doesn't that mean that the civil service can follow who they like? After all this is all based on convention not law, finally they can follow their hearts and start enacting CUK policies (as the CUKs are the only grown-ups in the room).

See I can make poo poo up too.
