Election Watch

Post by Friend or faux »

This is probably gonna be a damp squib. But the rumours are going around Westminster. Chris Mason, "General election speculation feels different this time" Again I quote: "Another idea some are entertaining is the possibility of a reshuffle.

No10 wouldn't be drawn on that either.

But if it is that, they could have steered us away from talk of an election.

They have let this whirlwind gather pace for ages now and they are not deaf to it.

And it would be very easy to calm things in an instant - a one sentence text or a 30 second phone call would do it.

But for hour after hour after hour, that has not happened."

A lot of Jack Simpson fans upset today, you might have a Britain First candidate to vote for in your constituencies.

My greatest hopes are that the Members for Christchurch & North East Somerset have Portillo moments. The Libs will probably have to do the business. But Oh! how I hope.

What a silly thing to say. You've called it out. You don't need to do it dozens of times and across threads that have nothing to do with it.

Evidently I do, there’s plenty of people who think its acceptable.

You don’t think racism has anything to do with Britain First?

Your head's properly gone on this, what are you even talking about?
