I like shitting outdoors, maybe I'll just go in the back garden and freak the dog out.

 

Maybe your dog will shovel it up and dispose of it for you 🙂

Nigel Farage has not come to Scotland during general election campaign because it is 'dangerous'

We may be shite at footall but we are excellent at lots of other stuff.

She'd probably be about to win a 3rd term.

 

Haha, good one! The least likeable person in politics by a country mile.

But what an amazing transformative PM she would have been. She'd probably be on the pyramid stage at some point this weekend in front of her adoring fans.

1 week to go.

Wouldn't be surprised if see a bit of a poll increase for tories as get closer to the election. By all accounts (twitter) Sunak didn't do too badly last night, Farage popularity slipping as he gets scrutinised more, the realisation that scary socialist Starmer is going to win big...right wing papers and cchq are going to go hell for leather on risks labour and their surrender policies are going to do to the country.

But then I thought that tories would narrow gap the last 5 weeks and hasn't happened...so..

I feel these example of politicians voting against themselves is not malicious. I don’t believe that people are permanently sabotaging campaigns to make money. I suspect it’s more like when I betted for Trump to win the presidency so there is a small consolation if it happens. At the same time probably right clear rules in the future.

It's just kind of silly, unless they're actually trying to lose. The real dodgy stuff are the bets on election date if people had some inside information.

The most depressing thing for me is the assumption that the main thing voters care about is how much tax they wil pay. I have never cast a vote in my life based  on whether I will be better or worse off. I'd be bloody delighted to pay more tax if I thought it would lead to better public services.

same reason as for why the SNP promise that an independent Scotland will make scots richer.

i think you're right its about getting a win when you lose.

thing is with the tax and spend thing...taxes have gone up, as has spending...and everything is still sh*t and needs more money..and there will be cuts unless Labour find more money from somewhere. So.. a politician needs to say look, reality is we are an aging country, yes taxes have gone up but sorry until we can get some growth they're going to have to go up more unless you want more austerity. It is hardly an optimistic election winning message.

How lame do you have to be to invent a story like that just to crowbar this abysmal condom/nondom gag you came up with into an interview. Bad gimp that fella

Labour: FPTP no change; House of Lords no change; Trident no change; 2 Child Cap no change; Council Tax valuation no change; Income Tax no change; Anti Immigration no change; Support for Nuclear Power no change; Make Brexit work no change.

But, hey vote Labour for change.
