I feel like attacking. George Galloway like this only makes him more powerful. Galloway is scum but he has a knack of whipping people up and attracting support. Much of the white progressive far left had turned on him over his transphobia and other comments but this might see them ignore that and get back cosy with him

Well I think the second is pretty likely. It’s what the cabinet and press have been calling for this week.

I think it might be to announce he is going to prevent George Galloway taking his seat.
And also ban protests in central London. With threats to impression anyone attending.

It’s more local elections where Labour could lose badly. In the general it’s some swing seats where the Tories have realistic chances of winning if the Labour vote is split. I’m not sure there is enough of them to allow the Tories to be largest party and win.

Feel free to bookmark this post.
One thing in Politics is never trust is internal polling. Parties nearly always seem to manage overestimate themsieves in them,
Mordaunt I agree is safe through but Rees - Mogg is at risk if Labour heading towards 400 seats. I think through Reform is being overestimated which will keep Labour at 340 seats or less so they won’t be many big Tory casualties.

That feels a somewhat odd seat as it’s only about 20% Muslim. If he doesn’t feel that he can hold Rochdale it’s hard to see him winning Derby South.

5 hours ago, Sir Creep said:If he in fact died on Leap Day he would have to be one of the (if not theeee) biggest name to do so. I haven’t seen anything saying his death was Thursday, only that the obit posted then.
Most likely was. Death announced at just before 6pm local time and big names like that don’t tend to be dead for 18 hours before an announcement.

Looks like it might be both of them.

One has happened. Will the other? Two months to find out.

I can tell you right now who will represent. Those he has always represented. The Arab states. Oil and gas suppliers.
His rambling speech at the count paid lip service to the needs of Rochdale. His true alliance is of course to the deserts of the Middle East. They have but a few months to realise their mistake in electing this self-important fluffed up politician who lines his pockets with oil money.
Other than that, I'm equivocal about him.
Not sure he likes the oil and gas suppliers that much. Majority of them are now considerably less anti Israel than he is.

37 minutes ago, Thatcher said:Brian Mulroney, 18th Prime Minister of Canada (1984-1993), has died aged 84.
In terms of leaders still with us from the major players in the 80s, there’s only really Joe Clark (16th Prime Minister of Canada) and Jimmy Carter left. Nobody from UK, France, Germany, Soviet Union, China, Australia, Japan etc.
DDP Hit when an Obit comes.
Probably the most significant leader after Carter still alive is Felipe González of Spain but Spain’s influence wasn’t that great in the 1980’s.

The fact they have presented the medal so quickly suggests it’s not just for the Facebook likes…
He met Princess Anne yesterday at an event. Still well enough then to go out in Public.- 1

5 hours ago, DCI Frank Burnside said:Depends on the circumstances surely ? Like if say he was in the house by himself and was found dead.
Someone local to me died in their House a few years ago from a heart attack and wasn’t found for a week or so. No inquest once the post mortem confirmed heart attack. An inquest simply wouldn’t be held for a natural death.

George Michael’s death for example. No inquest. Same with Sinead O’Connor.

3 hours ago, Toast said:A lot of this shit is stirred up just to make a story. There is an organised band of Sussex supporteers on Twitter who have been spreading ridiculous rumours about Catherine, such as that she is dead, William strangled her and it's being covered up. The media won't go that far, but it gives them ideas.
Feels odd that the most anti Meghan and Harry media would do that as well. And in their print editions as well.

2 minutes ago, msc said:Died today, apparently. If true, the the DDP's first ever 29th February hit. We came close with a vast number of 28 Feb hits and misses in 2020 under my reign of terror.
If he obits of course.

I don’t think Sunak is a little Londoner. Someone with a London mindset would much more liberal. London is as liberal as Glasgow.
