General Election - 4th July 2024

[Mr Kobayashi]

I'm a bit confused by the cut at 1.47. Who died in 1938 and 1946? Not his dad and mum.

They died aged 38 and 46.

Edward Davey was born in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire on 25 December 1965.[11][12] His father John (1932–1970), a solicitor, died when Davey was four years old in Mansfield General Hospital after a three-month illness.[13] His mother, Nina Davey (née Stanbrook), died 11 years later, after which he was brought up by his maternal grandparents in Eakring.[14] Davey acted as a carer for his terminally ill mother before her death, and also cared for his grandmother.

Ah, I missed the "at" in at 38 and at 46.

@johnnytapia is going to be all over this post…

YouGov's headline starting to look like the one that's out of whack now.

7 is way to high not helped by the format. They both had bullet points that they repeated endlessly thus treating the public with disdain.

5-3 to Starmer which with his lead is perfectly fine for Labour.

Some genius got that bang on :-)

I’ve thought about last night, and I’m actually reinforced in my view that Sunak was terrible, subjectively speaking. I think I speak with some authority on public speaking and I thought he came across as a right ****. Overly rehearsed opening and closing (no doubt delivered with the benefit of autocue) talking over/parroting wank questions at his opponent and making plenty of snide digs. Not a good look for a purported Statesman imo.

Owning a room is not about being truculent and rude. It is about exuding authority and confidence, being steady on your feet, knowing your brief, being humble when you need to be and demonstrating good humour from time to time. And always being polite, unless absolutely forced not to.

2/10 for me.

Thought I overmarked Starmer with a seven last night. 5/10 at best. He’s a right boring **** btw. They both are. I wouldn’t go for a pint with either of them. Life’s too short.

Sunak’s shorter.

It’s mad how small the **** is!

Is the right answer - the best attack mode

Meanwhile, Ed Davey drops a video that should be compulsory viewing for all MPs. Real life. Emotion. Empathy. Authenticity.

He’ll make a good leader of the opposition.

Both boring cunts - that has summed it up
