  1. They did put some campaign in on the last week when it was clear other nearby targets were done deals but the area covered by Croydon South has no labour representation at all and a lot of voters of the kind who find Kier Starmer too much of a radical socialist. It was always a long shot and Labour did well to come relatively close but there's a ceiling for them there.
  2. That seat was chalked off early in the campaign by Labour as unfriendly and they channelled resources into other seats.

    WCW star, close colleague of Mick Foley, ran the booking during a bunch of WCW's big years, and was the guy Chris Benoit nicked Nancy from. Also commonly linked to accusations of druidism in the 80s and conspiracy theories about the Benoits in the 00s. He'll get all the obits.

    Rishi Sunak

    But also damning you limit it to three because despite her flaws, nah, Theresa May was better than him.

    Directly above us on this page. But in my defence, Ramsay is utterly forgettable.

    When Tebbit dies, I shall extend my sympathies to Sean on the death of his uncle, but otherwise, you know my views on him. (Tebbit, not Sean!)

    He was actually getting himself together after being off the wagon for ages during the coalition but it was too late. Before your time, Clorox but popular young Paisley MP Gordon McMaster killed himself shortly after the 1997 election. It turned out he had been in the closet over his homosexuality and been blackmailed by another labour MP, Tommy Graham, whom McMaster had looked up to. Very sad story. That seat became Mhairi Black's years later, incidentally.
  17. Voted Labour for the second time in my life.

    John is of the belief no party can lose over half their support and expect to hang on to over half their MPs. He's also stated that if we accept that twenty point drop then there's a lot of seats where the Tories don't actually have 20% of the vote to drop in the first place. And thirdly, that the Tory vote is doing worse where they are the incumbent. You know me, I trust experts but bloody hell what all this suggests breaks my brain.

    I legit thought you'd brought up a Cecilia Twitter post here! Lammy not only has made contacts in every Western government for Starmer, he also got him a meeting with Macron at the D-Day thing. He's not being shifted.
  22. I like Bridge of Lies. It scores on my four gameshow rules (play along at home, fairness, easily explainable, sympathetic host) so not surprised it's been a hit. Although three seasons in no contestants have twigged Ross's "are you sure?" is code for don't step on that one. The Gordon Ramsay Bank Balance show scored 0 for 4 on those rules and was one of the worst ones I've seen.
