Actually they have some very sensible policies if you'd just get over your knee jerk prejudice against genocidal pepper pots. And their force fields mean they wouldn't get soaked announcing an election (not that they'd ever announce another election if they gain power, but lets be honest most of us figured it was 50/50 with the Tories this time. Right?)
 
And you know they'd never vote for Truss as Supreme Dalek, so really there is no downside to them winning.
 
Today's big Tory policy announcement is that Rishi pledges to rewrite equality laws to define sex as biological and protect women’s spaces.

All the Tory talking heads repeating it and telling us Labour don't even know what a woman is.

Lots still banging the VAT for private schools drum, it seems it's the most important thing of all. Apparently I should vote Tory because extending VAT to private schools will destroy state schools.

It's more ironic than that

.

At least one school, Downham Prep School mentioned by the outgoing Education Secretary looks as though it's shutting because of government defunding of Norfolk's SEND scheme.

Rishi says "Biological sex matters, we're protecting women and girls"
Meanwhile he's currently releasing domestic abusers early from prison, overseen worst rape charging rates in decades, rape victims waiting up to 5 years to get to court and he's not done a single recommendation from child abuse inquiry.
 
Lear the decks!!

Farage is making an Emergency General Election announcement at 4pm today.

The only sensible way to deal with that goon is to put his speech in the "and finally..." section of the news. Just after the skateboarding duck...
 
That should been clear the decks but somehow The thought of King Lear seems appropriate.
 
Tactical voting could unseat Sunak.

He'd be the first sitting Prime Minister since Balfour in 1905 to suffer that fate and only second PM in history.

This would be more than a Portillo moment.

ETA

Balfour actually resigned as PM in December 1905 and was defeated in January 1906.

So Sunak would be the first

And the language not so subtly pushing the narrative that trans women are just sexual predators dressing up to assault women and abuse children. This is patently ridiculous we all know that if a man wants to dress up to carry out rape and sexual assault they put on a police uniform...

And more Tory MPs have had the whip removed or suspended, or have lost their seats or even gone to prison over alleged or proven sexual misconduct than there are Lib Dem MPs. (IIRC)
