General Election - 4th July 2024

Moving quickly on the GE date is probably the only thing Sunak has got right. Other parties now scrambling around to get candidates in place, especially Reform who haven’t got the best track record during nominations. Tories will be hoping that Reform won’t be prepared in taking their ground, and that Labour won’t have their ‘plan’ ready to wipe them off the face of the country.

I’d be interested to know who is thinking of voting for them, and why?

It’s the opposite the Tories are not ready loads of constituencies have not got a candidate and not many willing to stand it was more of a shock to them

It gives Tice's Reform Ltd an excuse not to stand in seats the Self-servatives have a chance of winning (retaining), and contest Labour strongholds and then say to the tories that they must move further to the fat extreme right.
They were never going to put the Company reputation on the line by possibly being accused of splitting the Right wing vote to allow a Labour government

He was obviously talking about the big game in London this weekend as a dedicated Southampton fan (if he thinks there are votes to win)

Is Wales full of Welsh Saints fans?

The face of the girl on his right tells it all - doesn't want to be there and has no interest in him or what he has to say ........... like most of the youth vote

She’s probably the chair of the local Con club too.

The one advantage a PM has is the ability to choose an election date to your and your party’s benefit and make sure they are well prepared etc. Springing a surprise election on your own party and have them running around like headless chickens is not the smartest move.

Unless of course, your party colleagues are planning a night of the long knives against you

skilled campaigner......

And don’t they all look absolutely ecstatic to be in his company.

Especially the woman to his right, who exhibits a level of excitement rarely seen outside of funerals for beloved pets.

Yay!

Loads of just out of uni brainwashed Blair foundation candidates.

Lots of real world experience going straight into parliament as a career over public duty...

In 97 it was Blair's Babes
