General Election to be called today?

Whitewave and Cosy. I feel the same. When Sunak called the election this afternoon, I was elated. Now, I’m scared that Labour might not win and what will become of the country then. I am absolutely taking nothing for granted on 4th July!

I didn’t realise what tune the music was, but thought it shouldn’t have been played, whatever it was.

Well one thing is for sure now, six weeks tomorrow we will know.

Indeed. I think people in this echo chamber tend to convince themselves.

There was a 32% turnout for the local elections, hardly a figure to base forecasts on! I shouldn't be too confident.

Labour will win, so will Trump.

I agree that Labour will win.
Not sure about Trump, but I hope he doesn’t.

Interesting points raised on TRIP’s. Which Conservative MP’s will now have to announce that they will not stand for re election.Will Farage try to get the Reform leadership? How many Portillo moments are therelikely to be and who will they be ( please let it be Rees Mogg…)…

Please not Trump.

Labour will win, so will Trump.

The reference to five years just reminded me of a song that sums up the way I think many of us feel Whitewavemark2, this was performed after the 2019 election but the sentiment still remains exactly the same.

I think we should all bide our time and await July 5th. It’s not a done deal, I take nothing for granted!

I am the same! I am so frightened that we end up with 5 more years of spiralling ever downwards. Anything worthwhile will have disappeared.

Same here. Even more so if Trump gets re elected

Sky suggesting that as far as the Tories are concerned, this is as good as it will get. From now on in all the figures are likely to stall and go into reverse.

Just watching Sunak hugging and kissing all those Conservative MP’s who have probably already sent their letters in and have been plotting to replace him as leader….

At least he’s still out there reminding people what a disaster Brexit has been. I mean, where are all of those amazing trade deals that we were promised?

Tory: An 80 seat majority and they totally betrayed conservatives and brexiteers who voted for them. They deserve annihilation. Bye to the lot of them. Don’t bang the door on the way out.

Btw, I have a grudging admiration for his passion and comittment and for truly standing up for his beliefs, though another part of me thinks he’s just a bit bonkers!

Hes not connected to Labour, hes a grifter and utterly self indulgent but no not labour.

Ooops In this way!!

Sorry I’m this way across the last few years.

Steve Bray isn’t funded by any political party, but by public fundraising, things like “gofundme” type of campaigns set up by individuals and funded by many small donations. I believe over £35,000 has been raised in this wa cross the last few years.

Spoiling your ballot paper isn’t funny. It’s an insult to those who fought and died to get you the right to vote.

No, it isn’t. The insult is in not voting, rather than in exercising your democratic right to vote but voting for none of the available candidates. If you do that with humour so much the better.

It was clearly done to wind up Sunak and this protester has also disrupted events run by the LP!

Does it pain you so much to admit that the LP are not 100% wrong all the time?

Please don’t tell me what ‘I’m inferring’ Cossy. You’ve got me wrong.
And I’m not a Tory.
Embarrassing to say I voted for Blair in 1997.

Hey ho.
I’m voting Reform next. The electioneering (or any disruptive juvenile antics from Bray) will be white noise for the next five weeks.

I think the 5 weeks or so will be bloody awful!

Sorry if I offended you, you’re not the only one charmed by Blair!
