Wouldn't that just mean he's now free to stalk Sunak around the country during the campaign with his bullhorn and sign and photobomb him whenever there's press with cameras nearby? I'm sure there's a GoFundMe page somewhere that would pay his train fares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted May 22 Why on earth didn't they put up some kind of canopy, if he had to announce it outdoors in the rain? Is Rishi going to spend the campaign coughing and sneezing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thatcher 2,416 Posted May 22 The first media endorsement of the campaign as unsurprisingly The Telegraph backs the Conservatives. After the locals I was looking forward to a calmer Summer. Alas… here we go again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCI Frank Burnside 3,887 Posted May 22 Can Cunt still stand down as a candidate or is he locked in ? I'm guessing he's running if he's there. He would be one of the Portillo moments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is Rishi going to spend the campaign coughing and sneezing? I was on the way home when he made the announcement so was listening on 5 Live and they asked why couldn't he have an umbrella. Nick Eardley said as PM, he'd want the door of Number 10 in the background of the footage. The problem with an umbrella is, as a short man, Sunak would probably block out the door. Alan Rusbridger on Twitter said it best: if only they had a £2m press briefing room to host announcements like this in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He would be one of the Portillo moments I don't understand why Hunt is standing again. He's a multi-millionaire who will not win a leadership contest, will not see government again and could quite possibly lose his seat. What is he gaining from standing again?

Sly Ronnie 884 Posted May 22 Now that the contest to guess the date of the election is over, can I ask that this thread is retitled "Election '24" so we can continue with both discussion of the coming campaign and also have the spread bet as to what the election result will be?
