What on earth is it with the Tories!?

urms yes that what I wondered.

I’m sure that is a real danger for Labour.

He knows they’re doomed DiamondLily! It doesn’t take Einstein to work out they’re going down the pan.

Just look back at the last election when the pollsters and “experts” predicted Labour would win and Corbyn was getting his slippers ready to get his feet under number 10’s table. 🤣 Labour actually got their worst defeat since WWII. The Conservatives won seats from Labour that had been theirs as far back as anybody could remember.

Don’t count your chickens too soon. 😉

I would imagine all the media / political chatter about ‘balancing the books’ during the election campaign has got you tearing your hair out

I'm practically bald🤣

When the going gets tough - Farage gets going.

Guess you would if someone threw milk, cement and whatever the Labour voters of that lovely City called bratford, good name for it, over you.

It was actually Barnsley. Same county, totally different place...

Freya do you mean Barnsley, which is where someone threw a lump of concrete at Farage. I absolutely don’t condone that but, I have to tell you, I know Barnsley very well and it’s a place where people ‘tell it like it is’.

Ha ha Maizie I thought that might be the case🙈🙈🙈

As Bradford has a massive immigrant population (which has been there for several decades) I'm not sure that Farage's message would go down very well there...

I bet he doesn't visit Leicester, either...

Farage is mightily annoyed at stuff being thrown at him, but he positively glowed at the insurrection on Jan 6 th when death and injury occurred.

Even though I’ve never voted Conservative and really want a Labour government I hope that the Conservative Party can sort itself out and be a credible opposition. I’ve said for a long time that UKIP didn’t go away but had morphed itself into the Tory party but they must surely veer away from being the extreme far right party that they are fast becoming.

I agree

Don’t count your chickens too soon😉

Oh don’t worry Primrose there’s no danger of that. I, along with other Labour supporters I know, don’t dare to get complacent.

From what I’ve read and heard, it was an empty cardboard coffee cup, and an empty tin can.

I don’t believe any politician should have missiles thrown at them - the ballot box is the place to protest.

But, it wasn’t a life threatening missile.

No, but it could well have been couldn't it. Anyway both have been arrested, let's let the police deal with them. As for empty cups and tin cans,look on you tube, you know how the public like to film things. The milk shake looks very milky to me. Could have been acid. The bloke was held down by responsible citizens, until police came, so just throwing a tin can doesn't ring true. Not sure where your info comes from,the Farage haters fan club.

Oh barnsley, not telling like it is is it. Thuggery is what it is.

Of course, he also had a milkshake thrown at him in Tory stronghold, Clacton.

Back to the Tories, they just can’t help themselves - close Sunak aide & Tory MP being investigated for betting on a July election just 3 days before Sunak announced the date.

Are you sue that MP isn’t Michael McIntyre in disguise Siope?

To be hi eat, I begin to to think the whole government for the past five years has actually been a poor attempt at satire.

To be honest. I yearn for an edit button.

I wonder if anyone is watching "The Battle for No 10" on sky. Coming from Grimsby.
Starmer on, seems to doing better than last time.

Not us.
Beth ‘my sources tell me’ Rigby? 🤣🤣

Yes., I am. He’s given very good account. Beth Rigby is quite rude in the way she interrupts, I’m still waiting for a decent interviewer to surface.

Agree with you there.

Yes, discussed on the "polls" thread with polls figures.

BBC I Player has a decent but not overlong account up on the debate, some clips. Starmer did well.

I must say I prefer this "interview one then the other" approach with more time to hear them speak than meaningless soundbite debates.

I really have to take issue with Grant (I've-had-every-job-in-government) Schapps for saying that if Labour gain a huge majority then that would be unhealthy for democracy because that would allow them to be unnaccountable.

How dare you Schapps!

Funny how you never said Buffoon Boris having a majority of 80 was dodgy - that majority allowed him (and subsequently Truss and Sunak) to steam-roller through anything they wanted and wreak havoc.
