"Keir Starmer defended extremists, Google it"
 
That's just an open invitation for SEO hacktivists.

Oh, and I love that the alleged pro-business party is pissing on Alphabet (the latter seriously disapproves of "Google it")
 
Rishi posting several times along with an official Tory ad saying "Your work, your car, your pension, you name it, Labour will tax it."

Should someone tell him all those are already taxed?

Anyone willing to put down their prediction?

I expect that Labour will have a majority of around 60 to 70, Tories second, SNP third, LibDem 4th, others 2.

I'll take that bet, say £100? Because I expect Sinn Féin, the DUPpies and Alliance to have nearly ten time that many seats....

Watched the “debate”.

The charisma flooding out the TV screen has invigorated me, so much that I may make a cup of tea.

Here the Dublin EP candidates were debating last night (well some of them). It's all about cycle lanes.....
 
I don't bet - I was indoctrinated from a very young age that gambling is a sin, and unlike the teaching about alcohol being a sin for some reason the gambling indoctrination has stuck!

But you make a good point, by others I was only thinking about one Green Party MP and 1 Reform party MP, for some reason I never think about the NI lot, a bit like the Tories until they needed their votes! :)

:D I do bet, though usually on elections. My first election paid for two years of college......
I don't drink, if that helps? Certainly it seems to conserve the whiskey reserve.

And I'm now going to vent [Sorry].
It's your United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, you don't get to ignore the annoying bits when it's convenient. If you count Plaid Cymru and the SNP you have to include the other loonies. And Alliance, who are actually nice people and didn't complain about me that time I addressed Belfast about the ramifications of Brexit....
 
I want to pay more tax and for that money to spent more efficiently, so that we get much better public services.

Doctors treat them! It's a disgrace. I want lawyers and doctors to stop working for people I do not like, starting with Tories.
 
Oh dear, another Tory on a chicken run!

This time it's the party chair, Richard Holden. Liked blethering on about being proud to serve North West Durham, but that constituency is disappearing.

Fortunately, just to the south, Dehenna Davison is jacking it in from Bishop Auckland. An opening for Holden, who's so proud to serve a Co Drham seat!

Aah, no: Bishop is not likely to stay Tory...

So, Holden is trying to sod off to a safe seat. In, initially, that well-known part of Co Durham, Northamptonshire South, then that other part of Co Durham, Central Suffolk and Ipswich North...He's already been told to sod off elsewhere on Durham by the Tories in Basildon and Billericay, but Sunak has insisted that he is allowed to stand in Co Durham in the constituency of...Basildon and Billericay.

Such a proud representative of Co Durham.

Please note that I resisted commenting about this being no more than you'd expect of someone from the wrong side of the Pennines, oh, yes, I resisted...
 
BBC news has been ripping Sunak's tax claims to shreds.
