NOT now calling the election would piss everyone off so much, they'd fare even worse.

See, the plan is working! See! Vote now! Just because inflation is slightly down from extreme highs.

So that’s means bugger all decisions on projects for the next 3 months at work, as we enter purdah. Always liked that word, makes me think of a confused cat.

Finally!! :toot:

I received a survey from the Conservatives today. Not sure how they got my name and address (I recently moved and definitely didn't give it to them). Anyway, it was full of the most ridiculous leading questions:

Party politics aside who do you think would make the best Prime Minister?
1. Rishi Sunak
2. Kier Starmer (even though Rishi's plan to sort the economy is now working).

It's not going to get any better. They just had an uptick with the economy thanks to inflation dropping and they're betting that might give them something to say they've done I guess.

Economy "getting better", and the brief window of opportunity to use the first Rwanda flights taking off around that time.
