The 1906 election wasn't a million miles away from the Irish Parliamentary Party having more seats than the Tories, with a massive landslide for the Liberals, who would continue to dominate 20th century politics and remain relevant today under popular and charismatic leader Ed Davey.

I think that kind of domination would lead to more like "10 years of more Blairite poo poo followed by a brand new party as people get tired of it" than God-Emperor Keith.

397/670 is, uh, a bit less dominant than 500+/650

Was just wondering when Reform started polling higher than the Greens, and of course it's the minute that Sunak took office.

It's only from like 3% to 6%, but it seems to fit with the people pushing "vote anyone except liblabcongreens! woke globulists! wef!"

I once filmed a farmer’s son’s 21st. It was loving massive, huge marquee with chandeliers and a bar. All the boys had red cheeks and all the girls looked at me like I was a weird curio from the city (I’m white but have piercings and such and generally don’t have the country look) or like I was one of the most horrifying, confusing things they could imagine.

Not one of them could dance, and when I tried to get them to do birthday messages for the birthday boy they cringed away or did something strange and incongruous. I’m not totally convinced I didn’t film a party full of aliens if I’m honest, and having left the house 16 hours ago was very pleased to get away by the end.

Oh and they had loads of food but didn’t offer me any lol

The alien comment is interesting since that's what I as a person probably as rural as these people often think too about city people sometimes, so you know it goes both ways. We're pretty good at otherizing each other.

Sunak's ultimately just a soft rich person, he's got no real fight in him. If the Tories had a proper bruiser as leader,who was determined to win no matter what, I've no doubt they could wipe the floor with Keith's non-offering and at least survive with a small majority.

The Tories have given up and Labour is going for the safe electoral stance of: "Meh, might as well give us ago this time" :shrug:

Half the Tories have already conceded defeat at the next election and lined up their next jobs already. If the Tories do miraculously win next time they'll be an even bigger bottom of the barrel lot than now.

Don't forget the Tory party members electes Liz Truss as their leader and she got booted out by MPs in 42 days.

Despite the fact Sunak is very economically right wing he's not popular even among the people raving about tax cuts.

The Labour vote will drop as we get closer and closer to the election and people pay more attention to Labour offering gently caress-all, and the Tory vote slightly rise. But Sunak doesn't have a story to sell like Johnson did. It's just going to be 2019 in reverse - Tory vote collapses, Labour vote stays the same, Starmer hailed as a electoral genius for events unrelated to him destroying his opposition.

The difference is that Labour are not coming from where the Tories were in 2017. The bar they have to clear for a majority is vastly higher and Johnson had Brexit while Stamer has nothing.

Crucially the numbers also don't show all that many Tory-Labour switchers so when Labour are picking up new voters they aren't actually the right people.

You need a Blair like victory and I don't think you get that with Starmer's negative approval ratings which have often been a better predictor of UK general elections than top line voting numbers.

Anyway it might well be as you say but without a huge Scottish revival I would be betting on a Starmer minority Government.
After which he will probably try and export himself.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
Just saw an ad for a loan provider with a 99.99% APR. That basically means you have to pay back double right?

How can that even be possible for anyone who needs to take out the loan. It feels like there should be some advertising ban on loan companies like this or anyone with a ridiculously damaging set of terms and conditions.

Not sure why free movement is being brought up. That always required you to be a citizen of the EU which these migrants aren't.

You're forgetting the tie.


In my school it was the tie, and a badge in the blazer that had to be a specific colour and style, that was it. No other branding.

Its changed to an academy now though so don't know if that's changed.
