Labour and the Tories have disenfranchised me

The Daily Star has announced that World War 3 is starting today.

Crikey, I'd better get the washing off the line then...

Can the Daily Star be wrong ?

It's almost 11.30 pm and nothing has happened yet.

The Daily Star has announced that World War 3 is starting today.

I think he's standing against Sunak, MOnica. Which is a bit of a shame, if true, because he could seriously split the vote 😆

The Daily Star has come out and endorsed Binman:
National Service for former Prime Miniaters,
Water chiefs to swim in British rivers,
Croissant prices to be capped at £1.10.

It certainly has its attractions. I wonder if he is standing in my constituency.

It doesn’t appear to be doing any harm to the LibDems chances, unless all the polls are wrong. I think they have a good chance of doing better than they have for years at this election - it’s a small investment for a big return if they get 50+ seats.

It didn't do Boris any harm and it is appealing to younger voters. Apparently he does follow up his antics with a related serious issue but that seems to get lost.

Ok Casdon, good point. Rather the Lib Dem’s in a libdem-con marginal than Reform
I did hear a Monster Raving Loony manifesto promise. To put Doctors Receptionists in charge of the Border Force with the result nobody gets in.
Apologies for poor taste but ……

Gave me the best laugh of the week, thanks for that.😂

Yes, it made me laugh too. We really need to find things to laugh about, so much makes me want to weep!

I think thats true as regard targets here. Safe Labour seat - none of usual Lib Dem placards, they are concentrating on an adjoining seat, all out (against Labour).

I might be the only one regarding the LibDems, but I think targeting specific seats is going to prove a very productive approach, because they can concentrate resources and time on those constituencies. Ed Davey is getting himself in the news however he can, he even had a TV style makeover apparently last week!

Well, millions are going to in the election but it was a silly way to start.

He can’t expect to be taken seriously when he does such daft things.

One stunt would have been enough...

Because of FPTP and the adversarial style of debates it's very difficult to get a decent idea of Lib Dem policies.

He certainly is not of Olympic gold build silly man

Ridiculous.

Why oh why did Davey have to keep leaping around in a wet suit ?

Good question Oreo as we have some good people at a local council level. Maybe its because they have been out of Westminster power so long.

What is it with the Lib Dems? They never get a good leader.

I heard him Anniebach. In fact I heard the manifesto launch as I was driving for over an hour. I began to feel embarrassed for Ed Davey, an over emotional man clearly out of his depth

We haven’t had any leaflets through the door.

The only posters/placards round here so far are for the sitting Conservative MP.

Clegg must have been a closet Tory as in coalition his party failed to oppose the bedroom tax. Once out of power, Clegg announced now they understood more about the serious problems it caused, they’d oppose.

Davey questioned on the coalition said last week he was proud
of their years with the Conservative government

I live in a leafy London suburb, and have had no leaflets, flyers or door knocking from any of them. Our long standing Tory MP (who was pretty good, locally) has resigned, but I would imagine it will be another Tory who wins.

I did, however, get a letter, from Sunak, (addressing me by my Christian name…aargh!), telling me why I should really appreciate all he’s done for me, and the country, and vote Tory lol

No chance.🙄
