Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Who’s the MP you are most wanting to see in a Portillo moment?

Jacob Rees-Mugg and Liz Truss for me.

Dawn Butler would be good, though probably not going to happen.

The ‘official’ Labour candidate in Chingford and Woodford

Priti Patel

All the waste of time Tory Twats

Please God.

Is that a possible?

Well I didn’t think so but she knocked on my door and I’ve never seen her before so she must be worried. The polls suggest it would be close if there’s lots of tactical voting. Can’t see it happening though.

Will there be a Feelgood DVD to follow?

Truss would be good but if she isn't an MP that will afford her more time to write books and hawk herself round the crank right wing talking circuit, claiming The Deep State applied the death kinell to the economy, rather than her insane ideas.

Johnny Mercer losing would be funny because he'll absolutely take it very well.

James Cleverly

Indeed.

Above all others the one I want to lose their seat is 30p Lee.
No idea what party he belongs to, doesn't seem to know himself either

Too many possibilities to choose from, but Mercer's post-defeat breakdown would be worth a packet of biscuits or two.

His wife's reaction would also probably be worth at least another couple of packets.

Stella Creasey.

Kemi Badenoch…. Pleeeeeeeeeease

Original line-up featuring Wilko Johnson??

Oooh Jeremy Corbyn

Hardly be a Portillo moment for an Independent candidate to lose.

I thought of this one, but it's just never going to happen. But, yeah, the absolute meltdown as she wails against the patriarchy would be special.

I'll slip into my paisley pyjamas and knock one out if that happens. (though possibly won't live stream it).

What's the latest? Same with Faiza in Chingford. Be incredible if either/both of those can do the unthinkable.

For me it's Galloway, all the way, every day, by the way.

Sunak please

In true Corbyn style, he has demonstrated his total lack of suitability for any leadership role. Through a combination of delaying his decision to stand as an independent and appointing a f*ckwitted campaign team, he will probably fall short. If he had acted earlier, he stood a good chance. Although, I know that there has been additional support piling into the constituency in the last few days to boost his campaign, so a surprise is still on the cards.

I'm unsure about Faiza. She has a strong, vocal local group working for her, but there remains a strong contingent in her constituency who may have been persuaded to vote for a Labour candidate instead of IDS, but could be put off by her bleating on about Gaza. The parachuted candidate from Brent is more savvy and is careful about calibrating their comms to not offend possible swing voters, but in doing so leave the Labour faithful feeling cold. The vote may be split and allow IDS to get back in.
