I see the tories are now pretty much resorting to bribing Pensioners to get their votes

Maybe they think Pensioners have forgotten this...

Roughly translated as "f**k em' they are old and will snuff it soon anyway"

Which is basically what I conceded (about myself) when it all kicked off:

My first thoughts were that, perhaps, I should stay within the safety of Bunter Court but then I thought that I am probably due to die in the next three and a half years anyway (when I reach my allotted three score years and ten) and this is probably going to be not so long drawn-out and a, hopefully, less painful way of doing so than many of the alternatives so I've decided to carry on while I can.

It's my great-niece and great-nephew, aged 7 and 4 respectively, and those family members immediately responsible for their on-going care, that I am more concerned about.

Bloody hell, Lazzard, I hope your scripts have less cliches than those two sentences!

Clichés are usually true-isms.
I just hate the 'policy of despair' (another cliché for you😁) that says that nothing you do makes a difference.

And, no - my scripts always get a thorough vetting for clichés, as tempting as they are - if not by me, then by some other bastard.

I tend to agree. There's a strand of performative cynicism that's a bit tedious.

Trouble is, you're either part of the problem, or part of the solution.
In the end, everyone has to pick a side.

Not me.I always vote for the protest candidate like the MRLP

Not if you have opted out of the system for a number of years (now) and shred your poll card as soon as it comes through the post.

Whoever is in is going to f**k the country up

I fought in 3 world wars so people like you could have the vote

You ungrateful bastard

Good, old (very!) man.

This Tory MP claims so many Labour voters in his constituency plan to vote for him instead- he has put this on his website and promotions

https://nitter.poast.org/pic/orig/media%2FGO-WOvaW4AAj1Aj.jpg

Clearly he thinks voters will vote for him by mistake thinking he is the Labour candidate!

Tories - lying, cheating corrupt scumbags to the very end!

This cheating piece of shit is now under police investigation

Ed Davey is certainly doing a lot of capering on the campaign trail.

Yeah he's like a kid on his summer hols!

He's got it easy.
He's going to get a few seats extra - through no fault of his own, but which he'll take credit for.
And he won't have the hassle of running the country.
Win/Win.

I long for the next PMQ'S

Speaker :

"And now, the leader of the opposition- Mr Ed Davey"

😗

Won't happen, sadly.

I miss Ed Miliband. Bring him back! His biggest scandal was eating a bacon sandwich weirdly. Good times.

Ed will be minister for energy?

Meanwhile today....

"Whe you're luck isn't in, it isn't in - it is pure coincidence, apparently, that just as Rishi Sunak sat down with the cameras in Henley, a Lib Dem boat carrying Daisy Cooper, the party's deputy leader, sailed past behind him in a mass of orange placards."

Stop the boats!!

Unlikely indeed

But this new poll out today predicts Lib Dems to have more seats than the tories

51 seats for Lib , 24 for Tory

10K sample. Labour leads by 26%. Tied-lowest Conservative % with Sunak as PM.
Westminster VI (31/5 - 2/6):
Labour 46% (-)
Conservative 20% (-3)
Reform 14% (+1)
Lib Dem 10% (+1)
Green 5% (-) SNP 2% (-1)
Other 2% (-1)
Changes +/- 25-27/5
