They tried, secret service assassinated him.

Didn't the rain wash the poison off the tip of the brolly.

[Draex]

Fucking right into these tory wankers red men and women.

[Yorkykopite]

Why the surprise early call for elections? One completely wild conspiracy theory: Corbyn might have finally decided to stand independently, or with Galloway, and neither party wants to give him time to prepare.

Is this a joke?

[west_london_red]

Is this a joke?

I don’t think it is worryingly

[Yorkykopite]

I don’t think it is worryingly

I'm just imagining how the conversation starts.

"Keir, it's Rishi here. Any thoughts on when you'd like me to call an election?"

Labour now in discussions with the Tories re which bills Labour will allow to pass prior to dissolution of parliament.

Well they've only got 48 hours.

[Dr. Beaker]

Well they've only got 48 hours.

Minus the three seconds it takes to say,"None, fuck off".

[TSC]

Well they've only got 48 hours.

Parliament gets prorogued on Friday and dissolution is next week on 30th May so yep a late rush of bills maybe

[oldfordie]

Who cares, Tory blue to Tory red

Won't make one jot of difference

Did you hear Starmers response to Sunak calling a election ? it was aimed at people like yourself, the ignorant apathetic protentional voter who think they are all the same.  so what's your opinion based on. the usual ive got a feeling nothing will change much under Labour. it can't be based on evidence and fact.

Donegal, eh?
I will get a vote but I don't it won't make any difference.

A knighted Labour leader doesn't instill much confidence that things will get any better, hope I'm proved wrong.

The fact he is knighted is not relevant and doesnt suggest much thought.
The fact hes a c*nt who employs the likes of Reeves Lammy Streeting and Kendall is what should concern you more.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Whenever I see Sunak, he looks like a wobbling sex toy with fake ears glued onto it

I guess the Tories can count on your vote then?

The Deep State?

[Shankly998]

So the last vote I'll participate in before I move to the States is July 4th seems apt

Lammys disappointed. dropped himself in it a few times over the last few yrs but nothing compared to his critics on the left.
I would get used to Streeting. hopefully Starmer takes Labour into 3+ election wins but Streeting looks like being his successor. future PM.

I'm in one of the safest of Labour seats (Wallasey) so it's one of those where I can either stick with Labour despite the 99.9999999% probability of an Angela Eagle win, or a Green vote to give my support to them.

Don't forget you can use an expired passport/driving licence etc when voting. OR you just need a passport sized photo and your NI number to obtain a Voter ID cert here:

[Red Beret]

I'll be voting Labour. The Greens seem to be picking up some extremist cast offs which doesn't really sit well with me. It won't make a difference where I am as it's solid Labour, but I'll be doing my part flushing the Tory turd.

[Elmo!]

My seat is a bit of a weird one. Labour had it for years, SNP won it in2015, Tories in 2017 and back to SNP in 2019. If I'm very confident the Tories can't win it, I'll likely vote Green, as I'm genuinely indifferent between Labour and SNP at this point. If it looks like the Tories might have a chance I'll have to figure out which of Labour and the SNP are in best position to win.

I don't think the Tories will have a chance though as it stands.

[Peabee]

My birthday is on the 8th, so hopefully that weekend will be a good party.

[west_london_red]

I’m in a very safe Tory seat unfortunately but the demographics are changing as the old white folk move out or die and Asians move in from the area around Heathrow so it might come into play for Labour hopefully

Last time there was a July election

Presumably the logic behind the early GE rather than clinging to power for as long as possible is that the economy is taking a turn for the better, Sunak surely isn’t deluded enough to think that they’ll stay in power but probably does think this is their best chance at securing a good number of seats?

Dpends which Asians, I guess. They love a Tory in Leicester.

Not sure what that means? I thought they launched about 200 years ago?

[cornishscouser92]

Sounds like Sunak was under pressure with letters going in, so called the election.

I think Sunak is sick of the shit show and want to fuck off out of parliament and into something much more lucrative. He's a self entitled little prick that can't take any responsibility for the last 14 years of fucking up the country.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Sunak is the shit show

[Lisan Al Gaib]

I guess the Tories can count on your vote then?

Butt hurt Corbynites would love a Tory win as they're jealous that Labour are actually an electable force again rather than a pathetic student like protest group they were under the old man. Its why we hear the Tory Red, Tory Blue bullshit and that nothing will change because they can't stomach the fact that there's a Labour front bench who are actually capable of winning an election when Corbyn failed multiple times. Luckily these idiots are in the minority and will have no actual bearing on any of the results during this election. Corbyn losing his seat if he does have the balls to stand again will be another sweet moment during this election

Schools in California start in August don't they? He needs to be out of the country before then!

I need the full demographics breakdown of Leicestershire from Fromola before I can form an opinion on this one.

[TepidT2O]

Yeah mid august is about right for California schools
