Funny - I was listening to Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall earlier and Sopel told an anecdote where in the 1992 (or maybe 1997) election he was working as a corespondent on John Major's battle bus and the bloke sat next to him started literally doing smack on the bus hahaha

I was pretty shocked he actually told that story on national radio, but at least he kept the identity of the other person private. Nearly spat my tea out.

Edit: Turned out it was Will Self!

A story where the real shock is that Will Self was allowed to be a battle bus reporter.

Will Self doing smack is more dog bites man.

Pensioner-washing..

 

[Whether or not]

After a week of the campaign, it truly feels like a popularity contest between the incompetent and the irrelevant. Pretty depressing stuff. And don’t get me started on the Hobsons choice the yanks have !

bloody hell - woman looking bored with Sunak's tosh - "employee" gets a text, puts phone away and as instructed goes and stands straight in front of her blocking her from view - how fucking blatant is that?

Starmer needs to get hold of this Diane Abbott situation.

I disagree with her politics and I support Starmer's cut throat kicking out the communists strategy but she's been treated like shit here.

I think for the sake of putting a lid on this they should come out today and say she can stand and they've let her back in as she's apologised for that awful letter and has completed the antisemitism course etc.

Totally different situation to Corbyn who thinks he's done no wrong.

And I'm firmly from the Blairite wing of the Labour Party.

It would neutralise and criticism of allowing her back too as any Tory who went on the attack over her and what she represents has in the last 48hrs tweeted and messaged THEIR support for Dianne Abbott to undermine Starmer - just throw that back in their faces

Starmer like his football team is determined to bottle the title with some of his decisions.

Agreed.

Surely they'll be focus grouping the hell out of it over the last 24 hrs and crunching the numbers to work it out.

Give over.

If the Abbott situation is the worst thing that happens to Starmer in this election, he’s going to win a huge majority.

Meanwhile, the best thing Sunak could do is go into hiding for the next month to not make any more gaffes.

I think Ant and Dec are running his election campaign.

Probably be a car crash testing centre next.

Come on, Sunak is man of the people! He caught a train yesterday and even "took some photos to show my kids to show them what it was like"

The press will probably find out that his missus owns shares in a dinghy factory next!

Lots more to come.

Visiting some grave diggers
Doing a photoshoot at a cafe called 'Gaff's'
Driving a removals van
Going to the Emirates and standing next to a 'Visit Rwanda' sign

Loads of opportunities for the PM yet, the possibilities are endless.
