Politics Thread 7: THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER - General Election 04/07/24

[aayl1]

The second half of the year is literally starts at the end of the next week. It would be impossible to call an election in the first half of the year.

It's July next week?

Look I don't recognise any months named after Roman leaders OK.

hi

Yes, my favourite Roman Leader is also Junius Ceaser

If you drop July and August June does become the second half of the year.

Ooh I missed your meaning, thought you were ignoring June so that July is next week. I read "recognise" as in "remember" like a person. It's early I'm dumb.

BBC:
Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron cuts short a trip to Albania to "attend a meeting in London", while Defence Secretary Grant Shapps delays an overseas trip to attend cabinet.

I think it's really happening.

Who would be left to contest the leadership, after you remove all those who have already committed to standing down?!

It might actually benefit them to be leaderless for a general election

Proper bottom of the barrel stuff, and it's already a barrel full of gooseberry fool as it is.

Haha, just now imagining them not fielding ANY candidates, to avoid claims they "lost".

Well 20 points is probably the best they'll have all year.

Utter embarrassment.

Think we're going to see a lot of 'not standing in the election' letters from Tory MPs shortly lol

Sunak: "LEEROOOYYYY JEEEEENNNKKIIIIINNNNSSSSS!"

July would also let them weaponise the Rwanada flights (or lack of due to meddling lefties) wouldn't it?

Just looked at Parliament live - there are about seven MPs in the Commons. They're going to wonder WTF is happening in a few minutes.

The next 6 weeks are going to be insufferable, however what comes after will be glorious. The final end of the Tory party in the UK.
