General Election - 4th July 2024

Hope everyone who is working has booked Thursday and Friday off.... Thursday for an afternoon kip and Friday to get over the aches from laughing all night.

I was planning on traipsing round my nearest marginal, knocking on doors, but not sure I can travel that far and back in a day now :)

Tuned into Kuennsberg and it’s got me raging.

I swear if one more conservative politician rolls out the word “plan” whilst saying the square root of fuck all I’m going to lose my mind.

Hope every single one of the useless twats ends up on the dole queue come 4th July.

Trying to make excuses for their NHS waiting list record. Get to the fuckest of fucks.

It has to be the worst election campaign ever by a big party. Even worse than Labour in 1983.

Think these cunts are going to end up with around 100 seats. Not a complete wipeout, but a fucking huge shift. Unprecedented losses. Bigger net losses than in 1997.

Rumblings they are going to try bribe the electorate with another tax cut. How are they going to pay for that with the financial black hole that needs dealing with?

No tax cut is going to prevent what coming for them. They are fucked. The campaign is a fucking shambles.

Completely run out of ideas of how to fix their 14 year mess, everyone do your duty on the 4th of July and send them to oblivion.

I saw suggestions that the only way to shore up their core vote was to abolish Inheritance Tax.

I also saw a reply that suggested that they'd need to abolish Death itself to have any chance of winning.

Worse than Theresa May’s in 2017. Any half competent opposition would’ve made mincemeat of that campaign.

With Theresa May, she was totally unsuitable for that job but at least there was a shred of a vague sense of civic duty with her and Hammond.

There’s fuck all with this lot. Just empty buzzwords and waffle.

It genuinely is like living through a Thick of It special.

That’s a very fair shout, and yes, it was an omission on my part, but so far this is even worse. The difference is May started from a position of strength so it possibly had more impact. These lot are fucked irrespective.

I have got a bottle of Veuve in the fridge with election night in mind.

Champagne socialist, moi? Listen, nothing is too good for the workers. I am going to spend the night pissing myself at all the glum Tory faces. It will be better than 6-1 day.
