Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

Apparently this has been going round the net.

Wrong. And bookmarked. My guess is they will lose a huge number - maybe 100 even 150 seats, which will leave them between 200 and 250 remaining.

To put that into perspective, Labour only have 200 seats now. That's an enormous swing and it might be less than that.

Labour will pick up in excess of 400 seats. Lib Dems and SNP will add another 60 to 75. Tories at best may squeak to 150. Right now I‘d say 150 is their ceiling and I guess they will come in around the 125 mark.

We're well and truly through the looking glass.

You'd think these patriots would know it's a two minute silence.

It also sounds as if they aren't bothering to "Please allow time to clear the police security procedures".

You’d think they’d also know that the protest they’re supposedly countering is the day before.

I know. YCNMIU.

So annoying to listen to these reporters yell out silly questions to her knowing she is not going to respond.
Made for television I suppose.

I read it as some supposed threat on Remembrance Sunday itself.

I don't even know what normally happens at the Cenotaph on Armistice Day (when Nov 11th isn't a Sunday).

Shush Ric, don’t spoil it!

Can someone repeat and circulate that Braverman will be there to greet them in person on 12 November. Free tea and biscuits too to welcome them all as a thank you for their patriotic efforts in standing against fascism! Maybe leave the fascism bit out in case the smart ones have a tango moment.

Amen to that. I think she's toast as well. She fucking should be - some of the things she's said are an absolute disgrace.

IMO there will definitely be "enough balloons" as you put it, to make the next GE pretty close. If I was a betting man I'd say Labour will be the biggest party but fall short of an overall majority and have to do a deal with the other parties to form a government. But they could get a small majority. I don't think they can get a big majority simply because they are coming from too far back and the swing would be unprecedented.

But a lot depends on what happens over the next 9 to 12 months. If we have any further big setbacks or Tory gaffs, who knows. On the other hand, people tend to protest in by-elections and polls but then not so much when it comes down to a real vote that matters. If the economy is doing better, inflation is lower, fuel costs are down and the Tories throw in various sweeteners, then a Labour majority will be much more difficult.

At this particular moment in time, who do you think should be the next Conservative leader?
