[Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July

[Whitechapel]

I can’t wait for those greedy, morally bankrupt scumbags to be absolutely battered from pillar to post.

 

[BBassic]

Is the end in sight?

Even now, with all the polling pointing to it - I'm not letting myself believe.

It's the hope that kills you.

You are wise

If tonight Sunak stands at a podium on Downing St and announces it's time for him to really clamp down and stop the boats, the rest of us will be crying and you won't

 

[Guinness Boy]

AFP reporting July 4 election. BBC been told Sunak about to make a statement.

 

[pb21]

The Guardian have called it

Rishi Sunak will call general election for July in surprise move – sources

PM says he wants to hold summer poll after claiming inflation is back under control and economy is improving

www.theguardian.com

A bit like how Labour caused the global financial crisis, the Tory Party have solved global inflation.

 

[Bob!]

Cabinet meeting now.

Downing Street announcement at 6.00 o’clock

It’s going to be about lanyards, isn’t it.

Nah

bottle tops

 

[The Clamp]

Same.

I still think the Tory’s have a very good chance of remaining in power.

 

[nicko31]

Thought they'd hang on longer.

Banking on Euros fever...

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

The cringeometer will be in full swing when the politicians unpack their newly purchased England shirts handed to them for photo ops, still with fold marks clearly visible.

 

[Is it PotG?]

The time is almost up for the current cabal, a fresh cabal lie in wait.
A summer of fun.

 

[lawros left foot]

Exclusive!!!!!!

Sunak speech leaked!!!!

“ We have decided to hold a General Election on 4th July because we have stolen, embezzled, pilfered, and robbed the last possible penny that this country had. We, as a Government thank you, the British people for making us, the Conservative and Unionist Party of Great Britain richer than Midas, and the most successful organised crime syndicate in history.”

 

[BBassic]

I am rather looking forward to telling the Tory door-to-door campaigners to get off my property. That'll be fun.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Just realized why Sunk is going early. It's to catch out Labour who are not quite fully prepared for an election campaign.

By this means he is hoping to reduce Labour's majority to several dozen, rather than scores.

Genius!

And the little 'made in Vietnam' tags.

I got abused by one last time when I handed him his leaflet back after he ignored my 'no tory or ukip leaflets' sign.

The candidate then had to resign as a councillor as he had been done for drink driving and tried to lie his way out of it

 

[WATFORD zero]

The time is almost up for the current cabal, a fresh cabal lie in wait.
A summer of fun.

And the cry goes up again 'They're all the same'

The plaintive cry of someone who has voted for a complete clusterf*** (often more than once ), now realises they have voted for a complete clusterf***, but in order to try not to appear stupid or take any responsibility for the clusterf*** , claims that they're all the same so their vote didn't contribute to this current clusterf*** in any way

Saves me typing it

Classic "One rule for me, one rule for thee" Tory chicanery.

 

[Scappa]

Cabinet meeting now.

Downing Street announcement at 6.00 o’clock

It’s going to be about lanyards, isn’t it.

Larry the Downing Street cat is a filthy immigrant and will be on the next plane to Rwanda

 

[pocketseagull]

BBC One has now switched to News coverage and confirmed Sunak making an announcement at 5pm.

It's on.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

The thing I find weird is that David Cameron felt the need to call off a visit to Albania at short notice, that they'd clearly gone to a lot of trouble to prepare for based on the photos on the thread on the BBC website.

It's not like he's got an election to prepare for.
