Sunak might do a John Major and get on his soap box and win.

The optics of carrying out that speech while getting drenched with the music being blasted over it couldn't have been much worse

It had been raining all afternoon so not exactly a surprise. He should have either arranged some cover or just done a very short punchy speech

i don't think i've ever been less interested in the outcome of an election.

My feeling is that there are some really bad things coming in the fairly immediate future (june onward) and Sunak is holding the election now so that labour gets the blame for it

I think it showed poor judgement as usual in presenting such a long speech
I think it was arista who said he was giving a history lesson.

Clearly from Starmer and Labour they were up and ready to go rapidly afterwards with far less timing as to messaging.
I'm pleased to say and see for a change.

I'm glad the election he has called is at least done by the first week of July.
As I'm going to Rome later in July on holiday.
So thanks to Sunak for the election in the first week

So I've now got to ease work out the way and concentrate on helping leafleting and canvassing for Labour over the coming weeks.
I'm expecting a horrible campaign.
I've had hard-line Con voters screaming at me and the team I was canvassing with, that all of us in Labour should all be put in baths of acid.
In previous elections.
Charming.

No doubt a lot of mudslinging too but all Parties are good at that.

I'm also pleased the UK election will be over before the new election of the USA President.
Oh well, here we go.
What will be, will be.
I know what I'll work hard for and know what I'm hoping for.

I will cheer from the rooftops IF this Sunak led Con Party is well and truly booted out of government, AT LAST.

I agree on not being that interested in our Election tbh, I'm more into the American Election.

And you have an interesting theory, and it wouldn't shock me if you were right tbh, as the Tories do have a history of setting up other people up for their own incompetence these last 15 years.

You support who you want and I'll support who I want.

We STILL have PARTY government in the UK.
Not a President.

I'll be voting for Labour and frankly don't care whether you'd approve or not.

Some people take their Politics way too seriously imo.

Who threatens that over someone supporting a Political Party? Especially a party that has moderate views.

I wouldn't agree with it, but if you were supporting Reform, UKIP, or some far left Party that might be running around, then I might understand it more because of the possibly extreme and vile views that can be held within far right and far left ideologies.

But some people would want to physically harm you for supporting Labour? That shows that those people are really far gone imo.

Oh crumbs that was usual Mock.

It's actually fun most of the time.
Even odd times we've been out leafleting then come across Con workers leafleting too in the same streets.
Once all done we've gone for a coffee together.
Most of us are reasonable and not getting the vile nonsense I mentioned earlier.

Sadly though we do now have to be careful.
All Parties but particularly Con and Labour.
Because of worries of things getting more hostile and even possibly dangerous.
We always work in teams now for safety.

It's great however when you get someone who wants to talk with you and engage with you too.
Doesn't matter who they're supporting either.
Plus it gets you out in the fresh air and good exercise too.

I head out with plenty mars bars because there's not much chance to eat really until night time when you stop for the day.
