Sunak is so selfish he wrong footed his own Party by calling a snap election - and he has turned it into a shitshow

News just in, Rishi finally finds a candidate to stand in Bury St Edmunds. They had to rush through the background check process but they’ve got their man.

Inews said Labour had 98 candidates left to select yesterday. Has there been a flurry of selections?

when did the iNews report that? Bear in mind this post is pretty up to date - I think Labour are just better organised and motivated than the Tories

I thought John Sweeney was standing for the Lib dems somewhere in the midlands?

That should help them attract the youth vote.

Cameron won't be in charge of it this time. Besides, even though they could have done a lot more, the Lib Dems did water-down some of the most brutal policies of the Tories at that time.

You can see that in the contrast with when they lost their smidge of power. I'd like to hope they've learnt something from those negotiations that took place too, they really did get walked all over.

They absolutely fucking did. They got absolutely fucked up the arse on PR. They should have dug their heels in and the last eight years, and the terrible journey we’ve been on as a nation, might not have happened.

They are days off announcing they will mince migrants and send the bits to the Mariana Trench - Sunak is in hiding and the children in charge of the campaign are firing off chaff like a Hercules coming into Khandahar
