Current Affairs The General Election

[Blue 1]

Not standing in any seat seems an odd way to go about that.

She can't just tell another MP "sod off, I want to stand for election in your seat on the same ticket as you", can she?

Well then how is she going to get a safer seat?

 

[neil999]

Well, yeah, what else would happen?

She hasn't ruled out a return to politics. She has one of the smallest majorities in the country. I would bet my house that we've not seen the last of her.

well yes, anyone could return at any point! but she is not standing in the next election..thats all that matters at the moment

She'll wait until Johnson is gone as leader then be welcomed back with open arms and parachuted into one, Esther McVey style.

The Tory campaign will consist of a known and proven liar, making promises to deliver improvements to services which have been ruthlessly cut over the past decade by Tory governments.

Roll up, roll up to the Tory party, home for the gullible and guileless.

corbyn with the green grenfell tie on there...questions on grenfell incoming

Good start to the first day of campaigning, we can and will beat this absolute shower

Honestly how can any vote for this muppet in Boris Johnson. Embarrassing that he is our PM and we laughed when the US elected Trump.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Johnson going back to the 'economic catastrophe' argument about reckless Labour spending.

The easy answer to that is: Garden Bridge, water cannon, Seabourne Freight.

....amazes me how the debacle that is the new Royal Hospital in Liverpool isn’t highlighted in PMQs. Politics in this country is so London centric until they want our votes.

Zing from Jess Phillips there.

Matt Hancock struggling with basic maths here.

I should be old enough to know better than to get excited on the basis of a mere “hunch” (Lord knows I start every football season filled with irrational optimism ) but I have a real good feeling about this election.

I think Tory hubris is going to trip them up and the electorate will give them a good kick in the balls.

Remarkable how dim Hancock comes across

on Peston last week - Peston would quote facts at him and he just kept saying ‘I simply don’t agree’
