Depriving us of Portillo moments

Still hope we might get one with Rees-Mogg or Mourdant though

At this rate it wouldn't surprise me if Sunak also declared that he was standing down.

Crivvens, let's hope not he's winning this election for TelAvivKeith single handed.

Bring back National Service? God, this is desperate stuff. What next? Hanging?

Tripling down on the base of old people, trying to maximise turnout amongst them. Smart move

Expect to see some scare tactics targeting Labour through a pensioner prism soon enough

“Labour’s climate change measures will make winter colder”

Labour will ban flu jabs, bingo and Countdown.

National Service only ran for 14 years between 1949 & 1963 and those alive now who did it will be over 80

Everyone hated it, those that had to do it, the services they were in and it was expensive

The only reason the Tories are thinking of bringing it back is because they haven't got any other ideas

Along with hanging, mentioned above, corporal punishment and smacking kids won't be far behind

Not to mention Bovril.

Tories hurtling towards the General Election like lemmings over a cliff. I'm beginning to wonder if the Liberals will form the main opposition.

If national service is brought in, I just hope I'm just above the maximum age limit.

They may get a few Labour voters on board to
Lead them too a win.

I don’t want to ban it.

Former European Research Group chairman and current Northern Ireland Minister Steve Baker has decided to campaign from Greece as he doesn’t want to cancel his holiday

Guess he’s given up as well but is too arrogant to relinquish his seat

He's Northern Ireland minister? Kinell.

This national service policy announcement; We've just witnessed the Dead Cat strategy in action, haven't we?

It’s a kid of incompetent thick of it characters sitting round a table brainstorming how to appeal to some of the knuckle draggers who have gone over to Reform, who think everything was better in the 50s and that ‘kids today blah blah’.
Indeed desperate stuff. It’s scary this lot are actually in power today

Yep. There’ll be more yet. I have a bet with a mate that Capital Punishment will get an airing during this campaign.

How about

A St George's Day Bank Holiday
Over 65 parking bays
Compulsory short trousers for primary school boys
Uncancel Jim Davidson

Can't see that being a vote winner for anyone, even if we're encouraging the use of public transport you'll need a load more than that.

The army has said it does not want amateur conscripts…

Quite right, too. I happen to be in Greece right now too. I'll keep an eye out for old Steve-o at the olympiacos vs fiorentina game tomorrow night.

No words

Is this another case of “they don’t know what’s best for them” snobbery?

A classic of the election genre seldom seen since 2019 and reached a high point in June 2016
