General Election 2024

"Unlucky, mate!"

Seeing the Tories out of government without having to vote Labour and compromise my morals, and getting a non-Tory MP in our area for the first time in decades is tremendous.

Fuck sake.

We don't claim him.

He couldn't look much more Tory if he tried!

 

Just seen the Jess Phillips clip of her being rudely heckled. I don't like her politics, but I love her forthright and direct response to the idiots!

That large bloke in the Corbyn video above is a shoe-in for the 'people who are pleasing to look at' thread. Absolute unit.

They did an interview with Count Binface on the radio as I was going to bed last night, and it was brilliant. 

It wasn't this interview, but he's decent value.

So as a slight aside to this, I know the Youtuber Niko Omiliana stood against Sunak, then I discovered this morning that he stood in 10 other constituencies too. Seems crazy that this is allowed, what would happen if he won more than one seat?

It's not allowed. When you register as a candidate, you have to sign a declaration that you aren't standing in any other seat. Either he lied on that, or all the other ones were people falsely using his name. Either way, it's being investigated as a breach of electoral law.

Assuming it was just him registering in multiple seats, had he won any of them the result would have been voided as an ineligible candidate and there'd be a fresh election in that seat.

Nice stat: had every single Reform vote gone to the Conservatives, they would still have only won 287 seats.

Ahh thank you so much for clearing that up. It did seem crazy to me that he could run in more than one place!

I wanna see Kay's Cooking going up for election next time, free hunions for all.

Thank you for your service, @Bellenda Carlisle

Easiest decision of my life man, felt privileged to be able to vote for comrade Jezza.

I walked through his constituency on the way to the shops yesterday and the number of people out with Vote Corbyn t-shirts drumming up support and normies wearing Vote Corybn stickers was amazing. He’d always been very popular locally

He's so over around here, 40 years as Labour MP and I'm so pleased we followed the man not the party. Just need Islington to become independent from the rest of the country now.
