But talking of meltdowns..... Not sure that abusing and calling the cops on a peaceful Veterans protest is going to help her hubby's chances of re-election. <doh>

Think very carefully about whether you actually want these twats in power

So, what's your alternative at THIS General Election? (Assuming you don't want the incumbents back)
I'm lucky I suppose as my international vote is for my old UK residence in Chesham. Currently LibDem and they hold the seat and are the only alternative to Tory in that part of the world. But if it had been Green or Labour in pole position then either would have got my vote.

Hung parliament seems like a damn good idea

...need I explain to Posie Parker-endorsing Thangam Debbonaire that this is not a threat of public lynching, given she has difficulty with this sort of thing?

Well, the last time I looked you can't vote for that option and as Reform are running neck and neck with Tories and LibDems as the possible Opposition, would you really want them to hold any balance of power?

If Starmer goes into coalition with Farage, I will be remarkably busy visiting every single Labour MP who howls in faux outrage about being called a Red Tory to apologise

Besides, there is a scenario where Starmer would have to go crawling to Jeremy Corbyn to get into power, and that is ****ing delicious

So.... By definition surely, your best chance of getting that outcome is for the UK to vote tactically? That will likely lead to the LibDems being the official Opposition, but the Labour majority will be such that Starmer will need to appease factions within his own Party.

I'm actually still concerned with the number of reported 'undecideds', who despite the evidence of their own eyes and ears over the past 14 years are still even considering voting Tory. The thought of waking up on Friday morning and finding the Tories still in power is just too much to bear.

Lucky for Starmer he isn't interested in appeasing factions within "his" party, given he replaced any potential differing opinions them with a bunch of Apprentice candidates

This is also why there are undecideds: Starmer's campaign is worryingly similar to Hillary Clinton's where it's based off the assumption of winning so don't offer a single thing - and that's why Hillary lost, because she didn't offer anything other than entitlement, to the point she didn't deign to visit a couple of swing states and those states inevitably voted for Trump

I'll be doing my best to not make eye contact with my incumbent MP tomorrow or on Friday

Might have a word with the Labour candidate, mind, given his staff can't format a mail merge letter properly so I had half the neighbourhood on the bloody label...
 
Vote these bastards out tomorrow, this vote is for my niece who at the time was an 18 yr old trainee nurse who only months into her training sat with people on Covid wards and held a phone next to a patient's ear while their relatives said their last goodbyes
She held the hands of patients who could not see their loved ones
This is for my wifes uncle who sat alone in the crematorium while they cremated his wife of 60 yrs and we had to watch on a laptop
This is for my aunt who died in a retirement home after this government allowed untested people return to the home with Covid
While this happened they were partying in Downing St
Vote them out for the theft of Test and Trace , PPE , the lies , the cheating and the contempt of the disabled
Vote them out for the mess they have made of the NHS The Police The Fire Service , The prison service , our river and Seas filled with ****
