I'm not sure what's more smalltime out of our Prime Minister having to fork out to renovate the shit flat he has to live in or it being a scandal. He should get ten million quid to turn it into a shag pad fit for buccaneering Global Britain.
Theresa May's Conservatives
Jeremy Corbyn's Labour
Tim Farron's Liberal Democrats
Paul Nuttall's UKIP
2 people's Greens
Nicholas Durgeon's Scottish Nationalists
Satan's Sinn Fein
Dr Ian Paisley's DUP
Some other bunch of nonces
I'm foreign, but I wish I were an Englishman

£200k for a renovation sounds ... problematic for a flat.
Doesn't grade one listing turn moving a plug into a five grand ordeal?
Aye, you might have a point on that. He probably just wanted to put in a stair lift.
200k is probably 3 walls worth of [Derry Irvine's] wallpaper.
I'm not sure I've posted it here but I think it's such a good take that anyone who steals it would win every election for the next 20 years.
There's a massive shortage of semiconductor chips and it's brought the world to a standstill. We should reindustrialise the North by replacing steel/cars/other shit with microchip manufacturing as a core part of the country and turn it into the Taiwan of Europe.
Large numbers of what to where?
Keir 'Sir Keir Starmer' Starmer has killed the story with this wallpaper whatever it was meant to be. At best you've turned it into a joke, which you're not beating Wor Boris at, and at worst you look like Ed Miliband that time Ed Balls took him to Greggs and he referred to 'pasty-sausage rolls'.

That video is worse than any sandwich eating failure.
Wor Boris would have sparred with a ten year old and 'accidentally' flattened him.
I honestly don't know if I can vote for that. It's worse than any amount expense fiddling.
Voting on corruption is a bit pointless anyway, you're basically choosing what colour tie it's going to wear.
I might just go Green this time around. I'll be in another postcode soon enough.
This Matt Hancock Guinness thing is tragic, if it was on The Thick of It people would have claimed they'd jumped the shark.
Bloody hell. Someone's had a nightmare at the pump and they don't want a second take. Or they really, really fucking hate him.
We've been hoodwinked.
The real picture.
In the real picture it's a pitcher of Cocaine.

Turns out telling people they don't care about your misdeeds makes them care about your misdeeds.
How has this come as any sort of surprise to anyone? I would have thought anyone voting for him would have been doing so because they didn't care about him being a dodgy cunt, but apparently not. I don't understand.

This is actually the best possible policy, and all of them seething about it for different reasons proves it beyond doubt.
Why is this needed? Are ex-soldiers often arrested for shit they did in the 80's?
It only takes a couple of cases for it to look a bit bullshit when all of the IRA cunts were given immunity. I work with someone who served in Northern Ireland and now assists these historical enquiries, and the consensus of the people doing all the work is apparently that the only solution would be some sort of 'Truth and Reconciliation' movement. Unfortunately, the various political interests all have their own narratives to stand by, so you would just end up with the government releasing everything and then the 'communities' insisting that nobody was ever a member of anything.
"Look, I wasn't in the 'RA, I was in an IRA tribute band."
Provo adjacent.
I think the trials should go ahead but there’s no actual punishment for a guilty sentence for the individuals. It acknowledges the actions happened. Families get closure and the possibility of compensation from Government. We move on.
He is probably just a regular size lard arse, appearing giant compared to Rishi.
It always amazes me how long some old people take to vote. The woman before me took forever. I can only assume she was taking shots of hand sanitizer every time she touched the air around her.
I don't think I've ever had to even wait at our polling station, but then half the folk round here probably can't read so maybe it's just always a low turnout.
I had three different votes today using incredibly similar paper colours and terribly marked boxes, so really had to strain my eyes to check which box to put them into. If my police & crime commissioner vote went into the Elmbridge Council box it could change the course of political history.
For police & crime commissioner I had the choice of the main parties plus an independent and also the local ZERO TOLERANCE legend who has run his campaign entirely from Kabul, so obviously I went for him first preference and the indie second.
Nah, it wasn't busy. Just the covid regs slowing things down a touch. 1 booth, get your yards, DON'T YOU DARE GIVE THIS PENCIL BACK, etc.
Green all round here. Sadiq second choice just narrowly edging out crazy Corbz.
I couldn't vote, but it doesn't matter. It will be David Amess for the 112th year running regardless.
Labour are about to get shit on in England. -30% on Sunderland with Lib Dem’s gaining from them. Sheeesh
And a cracking month of 'Labour shouldn't have distanced themselves from Jeremy Corbyn' vs 'Labour haven't distanced themselves from Jeremy Corbyn enough' to look forward to.
Labour wont be winning a general election anytime soon, using facebook as a thermometer it seems the people who share the obvious free holiday/free car scam posts are the same people who share dubious facts about unpopular political decisions and comment 'LABOUR SCUM' under them, which is an alarming amount. Couple that with a lot of holier than thou armchair activists irritating even the non tory leaning voters and the culture war has been thoroughly won for a while.
The same people who when my cousin went public with her abuse at the hands of a grooming gang, accused her mother of being complicit in the abuse because she was a Labour councillor.

I would have thought losing Hartlepool would be alarming, but then I realised they lost Sedgefield at the last election.
They have lost their old base permanently, they are fucked, as most European social democratic parties are tbh.
You might see a Green surge as there is in Germany, except that our greens are a load of communists, so it's probably all over red rover for the British left.
Jesus Christ, 16% swing to Con. Boris is king-emperor, Starmer hanged at dawn.
Jesus Christ II: looked at the early council results and Labour are getting slaughtered everywhere, mostly by Cons but also by Greens. Total bloodbath.
Mon the Greens
Genuinely impressive that Labour have managed to fuck things up this badly in this climate.
