I'm concerned how many 'Lords' there's going to be after this election. Lord Gove? Lord Shapps? Lord Hunt? Baroness Patel?

All the honours bestowed by this government on their own MPs and hangers-on should be revoked.

Convention is that the resignation honours pass without issue. Although Sunak refused a couple of Truss's I believe, and Boris wasn't allowed to ennoble his dad. Jesus! The naked corruption of this lot! Breathtaking.

Gove is going but not sure if he will become a lord. Hunt will likely lose but again not sure. Shapps feels like the type to get a peerage if he loses. 

Patel is surely standing again and most likely winning her seat - and maybe becoming Tory leader.

If Patel wins and leads, the next hollow laugh is the moment we realise they've moved to the right of Reform

This is awesome, but there may not be many left to cross off by election night.

Richard Holdern will get a safe seat elsewhere for sure I suspect. I can’t see the Tory chairman losing - he will get parachuted somewhere as his seat is being abolished. 
 

IDS is much more likely to lose than most of those. Steve Baker should also be on the first row - he seems doomed. Oliver Dowden really should be on the top row - I would be surprised if he loses.

Let's not forget, Gove is Murdoch's mole.

 

And on the subject of the dirty digger, it's worth pondering that the old fuck will almost certainly never see another Tory government in his lifetime again.

What odds on Gove turning up at one of Murdoch's outlets

Tipped to edit the Telegraph instead. Through many of their columnists don’t like him.

I really wouldn’t be surprised if Rishi doesn’t last the weekend. I can see it now, Rishi announces he’s off and cometh the hour, cometh the man, forward steps Boris Johnson.

 

Funnily enough Boris has done his first attack piece of the campaign on Starmer in the Daily Mail tomorrow.

[YoungWillz 21,037]

Nearly 80 Tories standing down?

Johnson is a busted flush but most Tories are still fucking deluded enough to think he's an asset.

Or becomes a trade envoy for South America.

Ok, so two things:

 

1. Is the main headline a precursor to an astonishing volte face from the Mail over who it's backing? (Surely not!)

2. The only Labour PMs since the 70s have been Blair and Brown, so yes BoJo, Keir is going to be the most left wing Labour PM since the 70s, you pillock.

Yup, back to the days of the radical revolutionary that was Jim Callaghan.

Is Keir going to govern more left wing than Brown?

Wonder will Rishi have  a rethink about attending the playoff final tomorrow. He's had a clusterfuck of a few days already. He'll get a "warm welcome" if he goes and appears on the big screen

I am not sure he will go after having today off campaigning as well. With how bad things have gone the memes if Southampton lose will certainly go viral.

Sound advice from an expert on winning over the public.
