When asking the most obvious simple question blows the whole Government case apart, you have to wonder why 1 in 5 of the British electorate would still back it

I see your point about calling their bluff and part of me agrees.
However, we cannot allow the Tory’s to ride roughshod over our laws. The law must be upheld.
I haven’t seen many Tory MP’s Wintering with their families in Rwanda of late.
Unfortunately, we both know that Sunak will likely reward him with one in his leaving list.

If I were opposition leader I just wouldn't go.
I'd instead spend that time every week in my constituency office talking to real people about their actual problems. Let Sunak and his malcontent band of braying sociopaths guffaw their way through another matinee of PMQs: The Panto

James Cleverly, the home secretary, spent £165,561 chartering a private jet for a one-day round trip to Rwanda to sign Rishi Sunak’s deportation deal in Kigali.
The trip took place on 4 December to sign the new deal with the east African state after the supreme court’s finding that Rwanda was an “unsafe country”.

The Tory’s treat the public purse as a honey pot they can simply dip into when they need to fund one of their confidence tricks.
They should be in prison.

Sadly, the polling never precisely matches what happens at an election, but over my lifetime it’s usually been the centre-left vote that has been split between Labour/Lib Dems/Greens.
The Conservatives successfully saw off any threat from UKIP post referendum result by lurching right and expelling most of their centre-right members. However, for the first time at an election, the rightward vote is likely to split between the Conservatives and Reform. This could genuinely hurt them in previously safe seats, and is what Labour has always had to contend with.
I have learnt not to stay up for election results, as not much starts happening until 3am, but I may set the alarm for 5am and have an early breakfast in front of the telly.

The polling got the Brexit vote spectacularly wrong...
I'm waiting to see if Reform back down just before the GE also.

This is what I'm expecting. I can't see Brexukipreform putting up enough candidates to take 15% of the vote.
Which will put the Tory vote share in the 30's %

It’s like watching the wimpy kid who hangs around with the bullies mouth off at someone only to turn around and realise there is nobody behind him to back him up.
Can’t wait to see his face the day he has to pack his bags and f*** off, the puny little dingus.
Waspi campaigner says Sunak on ‘sticky wicket’ asking for votes until he heeds calls for pension compensation – as it happened

At what point does Starmer bite back when Sunak trots out the "you have no plan" line with a comeback along the lines of "Windfall tax on energy sector was our idea before yours; removal of non-dom tax breaks was our policy you stole, [etc]. If we have no plan, why do you keep stealing our policies?"
Edit: would be better to say "the only good policies you've implemented have been Labour policies; windfall tax, non-dom removal. If we have no plan, why do you keep stealing our policies?"

Hundreds of thousands of students could be left unable to vote if the government calls an October general election, because there may not be enough time to register them, universities and student unions have warned.

Councils are increasingly rejecting requests to assess children for special needs such as autism amid the financial crisis in the education system, according to figures seen by the Observer. Long-term underfunding combined with rising demand aggravated by the pandemic has left many councils facing significant deficits on their schools budgets.

I think they will keep 100 or so candidates in areas like Stoke etc.
