BuffaloPhil 926 Posted July 5 Looking at Oddschecker about the next Tory leader, it seems that it'll come from these ten (although I guess you can discount Farage and Johnson due to not being Tory MPs) but they don't really have much idea beyond that. If it does come down to Badenoch against Tugendhat it'll be quite interesting to see which way the party goes. I would hope for Tugendhat except that it would probably benefit Reform more than the Conservatives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,386 Posted July 5 I'm trying to work out my favourite moment of the night. Rees-Mogg's seat being Labour's 326th and majority-winning seat was up there, as were Liz Trussterfuck's loss, some of the bust-ups on Channel 4, the gasps of shock on Sky and all that. But I think this insane flurry of Tory scalps all in the space of a few minutes might've been the most exciting part of the evening: 20 hours ago, Brad252 said: Fabricant's gone!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 hours ago, TQR said: JONATHAN GULLIS IS GONE!!! 20 hours ago, TQR said: BRENDAN SOMETHING-SILLY IS GONE!!!!!!!!!! 20 hours ago, TQR said: Simon Hart is gone!!!!!!!!! 20 hours ago, TQR said: Fucking good job, Chichester. 20 hours ago, TQR said: Therese Coffey gone!

Well, that's how to piss on our 4th July bonfire good and proper. There are many reasons why people voted the way they did yesterday and many anomalies produced by that, but you cannot escape the fact that Reform got 4M votes and that this resulted in only 4 seats. Lib dems got 3.5M votes for 71 seats. Greens a little under 2M for 4 seats. I'm a supporter of PR (as previously stated) but in this instance I'm almost glad we don't have it (though I console myself people wouldnt have voted this way had we had it). Fighting the Kaiser of Clacton is going to be ongoing. He's never going to shut up about the number of votes. My mute button is going to see some serious action if I watch anything political over the next 5 years. NB. Glad to see you got through yesterday somehow on apparently zero sleep . 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Civil list v tourism or etc etc. But anyway, I'm not about to get into any sort of argy-bargy with you about the monarchy. We're on opposite sides of the fence on that one ;). And of course it's not my captions it's just a gag. I'd have put a source of inherited land income or some other of the advantages they enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
