That's Macron's gamble fucked.

"tete a tete". Dave. This sort of thing is really not OK.

Toonpack, Spongebob, RobinRobin, Alex.

So basically cut welfare so you can make tax cuts. What is wrong with these people. No improvements to services, just take from the worst off and give to the better off.

Lots more of this, please. Ruin the next few weeks for this prick.

Looking forward to that official club video. "So Lloyd.... Welcome to Newcastle United. What have you heard about that famous St James Park atmosphere?" Next question: "What do you think it's gonna be like playing in front of that famous St James Park atmosphere?"

Flailing.

I don't know who they're trying to appeal to with this stuff. Rishi Sunak is...... Top Twat!

Thick Ric at it again. Posting a letter from the Cabinet Secretary claiming it proves the £2k thing when actually it doesn't. I know he'll just be hoping that normal people won't bother reading it, but the incompetence and dishonesty of these people is wild. Not to mention their contempt for voters. This bloke shouldn't even be a leading figure in a post-election Tory party with sub 150 seats, never mind one with a decent majority.

Apparently there are "frank exchanges" after Brand goes after Sunak on his wealth and unrelatability. Which basically means Sunak being a squeaky little bitch. Should be good.

Sunak's manifesto is DEFINITELY not gonna move the polls btw, so we should hopefully be treated to this at the start of next week, if not before.

Jenrick and Braverman to hold a press conference to release it as well.

Ed Conway did the sums on the £13k of Tory tax rises, so you can take that shit to the bank. It was on one of his video explainers on Sky News.

Same polling show Sunak's approval rating has worsened by TEN POINTS.

The eggy bens, I think the kids call it.

Saying that mind, it took Partygate, the PPE fraud, the Truss mini Budget, double figure inflation, the cost of living crisis, and dozens of other scandals in ONE parliament to do for the Tories. If Labour can look vaguely competent and not seem like they're taking the piss out of the entire country, I think they'll get quite a bit of leeway after the last 14 years. I don't think people are expecting miracle fixes.

I think it depends on what's left of the Tories after this election. If they've still got closer to 200 seats, then 2029 is targetable for them if Labour have a shocker. If it's closer to or even sub-100, they'll likely still be considered unelectable in 2029.

Thankfully, this is what most people think of Farage. He doesn't have a future in mainstream politics beyond playing the spoiler. Which tbf, he does very well, but there's a ceiling on the popularity of any party for which he's a leading figure.

Some loon among the Reform candidates has had his social media posts investigated, and has been found to have said that we should have been more neutral with Hitler. And the Reform spokesperson responding has basically agreed with them. Lovely.

Yeah but it's not as simple as that, because there are people currently voting for Reform that wouldn't vote Conservative, and likewise people voting Conservative who wouldn't dream of voting Reform. The right is currently split in this country, which is why we're about to see the Tories destroyed at the next election. Whatever emerges from that wreckage isn't going to command 39% of the vote in a single entity.

New poll, all fieldwork post D-Day shenanigans. No change in Labour lead, but gap between Tories and Reform down by 5.
