Who remembers the Michael Portillo moment?

Liz Truss!

Sarnia Boris Johnson is not an MP and is not standing for parliament in this election. So he hasn’t actually got a seat to lose. He resigned parliament in June 2023.

Jumped before he was pushed. Thanks for that. I thought the poor people in Uxbridge were still lumbered with him. 1 down off my list and 3 to go.

Liam Fox needs to go.

In most parts of Somerset the LibDems are by far the strongest challengers to the Tories but in North Somerset Labour is stronger so I hope that all LibDems and Greens in North Somerset vote tactically for Labour to boot out Liam Fox

DeeDa wasn’t it Matthew Paris who tried to live on benefits for a week.

He probably was on it. It was called My Week in the Real World. A few MPs took part. I remember the Portillo one.

It’s interesting to see how Portillo changed our perception of him after he lost his seat, so dramatically as well. I enjoy his railway programmes and find him likeable.

I’d like to see Galloway gone but I’m not sure that’s likely. His Worker’s Party are putting candidates up in towns surrounding Rochdale

I used to like him when he was on The Week in Politics ( I think that’s what it was called) with Dianne Abbott and Andrew Neil.

🤣🤣🤣

Andrews!!! not Andres

Therese Coffey. DEFRA has gone backwards under her.
George Galloway. Can go back to being a cat impersonator.
Jeremy Hunt. Reminds me of Archie Andres with that smug
smile and every bit as wooden.
Boris Johnson. An outside hope for me but the architect of his
and the Tories downfall since his huge majority.

Rees Mogg
George Galloway
Suella Braverman

I’m not keen on David Lammy. He brings almost everything back to race.
I’m not expecting him to lose his seat though.

Farage
Galloway
Braverman
Rees-Mogg
Badenoch

I realise some are more a case of not being elected, rather than unelected.

Forgot to add Ed Miliband to the above

I’d never dream of drinking fizz to celebrate an MP losing his/her seat.
Perhaps I’m just not that invested.
It seems like a strange over reaction to me.
Our current MP, Flick Drummond (no longer a candidate in our constituency due to boundary changes) will probably lose her seat to the LibDem candidate in her new constituency. I think that’s well deserved because she was not a good MP, but I won’t be cracking open any bottles of fizz.

Yvette Cooper
Angela Rayner
David Lammy
Jess Phillips
Rishi Sunak

Extremists. Galloway and Braverman would be a good start, and Farage to fail again. On a more personal level I can’t stand Rees-Mogg, if he was any more up himself he’d turn inside out.

Rees Mogg. Due to boundary changes he would be our MP if elected 😱

I'll never forget the Portillo moment. It is iconic, along with Stephen Twigg's slightly cheeky smile. It was, as Dinahmo, says, a moment of elation in our house.

I really like Michael Portillo. He does some very interesting travel programmes.
I like Ed Balls too. He does some presenting on television and was very watchable in Strictly Come Dancing.
I didn’t like either of them in government.

My thoughts exactly about those two,
but Ed Balls was very approachable during Strictly.
I’d like to see Angela Rayner go.

Yes, we enjoy his railway programmes with his trusty Bradshaw and also the one set in the Pyrenees.

He always seems to be full of enthusiasm for people, places and the food (some of which I'd have trouble eating).

Angela Rayner.

Angela Rayner and Penny Mordant. 🤞

Maybe Rishi could be on strictly. Haha! I’d like to see Braverman sweeping the streets! Reese Moggy emptying the bins. Pritti Patel cleaning toilets. Oh and Gove being a toilet attendant! Haha! What a load of rubbish!
