Philheybrookbay1 247 Posted May 28 5 hours ago, DCI Frank Burnside said: Hopefully not Mercer and Baker. Two cunts I'll enjoy seeing lose their seats Mercer was out yesterday in St Budeaux part of Moor View. You know, the part as close to Cornwall as you can get for a quick getaway. The plymouth end of the Tamar Bridge is here, and that's put up its prices again so that's a BIG issue but Mr Mercer hasn't said jack about it. He's utter toast. Of all the wards in his area the only Tory is in Eggbuckland and then by a handful of votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,315 Posted May 28 He did this interview yesterday.Looks totally rattled tired and is even ruder and snappier than usual.This is golden his stress is palpable and it is so good to watch.Need popcorn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,315 Posted May 28 Another incredible tantrum comes from the most marginal Conservative MP James Daly who despite being Deputy Chairman is accused of being broke and of not understanding the detail of the National Service policy. Let's just say he doesn't disappoint with this meltdown. He has a 105 vote majority. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted May 28 Probably NOT Ed Davey's finest campaigning stunt - doubt it'll dislodge his die-hard support, but it isn't going to persuade anyone his way, either https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cjkkn6pvgppo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,387 Posted May 28 Davey is clearly worried about appearing too drab and dreary, so to win over the electorate he's now posing with dinosaurs and repeatedly falling into a lake. That's definitely a guy we can do business with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted May 28 Myrie and Kuenssberg co-anchoring the BBC coverage, with Chakrabarti analysing the results. Vine back with the swingometer, Curtice with his usual input and the usual BBC faces dotted around the country. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv22px91700o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,387 Posted May 28 Election Night Teams: BBC: Laura Kuenssberg, Clive Myrie, Chris Mason, Jeremy Vine, Reeta Chakrabati, Prof Sir John Curtice Sky: Kay Burley, Beth Rigby, Trevor Phillips, Ed Conway, Sam Coates, Sophy Ridge, Prof Michael Thrasher Channel 4: Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Emily Maitlis, Cathy Newman, Alistair Campbell, Rory Stewart, Gary Gibbon, 1 more (to replace Clare Balding, who is doing Wimbledon), Gogglebox It's a tough choice. Obvs BBC is the tradition, plus Myrie is good and Curtice is frankly essential, but K-hole, Mason and Vine can all get to fuck. Sky's Rigby, Phillips, Coates and Ridge are assets, but Kay Burley wears very thin, very quickly. Channel 4 has the best presenters by quite some way, but I don't want fucking Gogglebox interrupting it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,037 Posted May 28 With Sunak announcing the election in the pouring rain and Davey falling into a lake, will Starmer sink to the challenge? Labour party wet t-shirt competition, perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Periodically swithcing over to BBC to look on Kunessberg's face as the night goes on Curious that ITV don't appear to have announced their line-up yet although I would assume Bradby and Etchingham as the leads.

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted May 28 Is there anybody who was actually prepared for this election? The broadcasters are scrambling to confirm election night teams, loads of seats don't even have candidates yet, and even the Prime Minister is making up manifesto policies day-to-day on the hoof. All this thanks to "the man with the plan" apparently. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was on the assumption of an autumn election though as Claire Balding isn't available now due to Wimbledon 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
