RISHI SUNAK HAS CALLED A GENERAL ELECTION FOR 4 JULY.

It's the end of the Tories (and I feel fine).

Spectacular. Even managed to screw up his general election announcement and look and sound like a miserable, desperate loser, on his own, in the pissing rain.

Hoping it’s downhill from here… and out of that door forever.

It’s absolutely outrageous, by the way, to use a national address outside Number 10 (knowing it will be covered live by all media outlets) to launch a personal attack on Keir Starmer, who has no ability to respond

‘I’ve called a general election by mistake’

“Labour doesn’t have a plan” says man who hadn’t checked the weather forecast.

🚨Rishi Sunak confirms July 4 election.

PM soaked by the rain outside No 10 while New Labour anthem 'Things Can Only Get Better' blasts out in background. Inauspicious start to campaign.

hello and if you're just tuning into today's episode of Normal Island, everyone has been told to stockpile bottled water and the Prime Minister is trying to call an election while his own party try to get rid of him

Look, I don't ask for much. All I want is for the no-confidence letters in Sunak to hit the threshold the second he announces an election.

In much the same way that a drunk enjoys taunting the police just before getting tasered.

Brexit drags along with it countless ugly, costly consequences and even the ‘opportunities’ have a high price tag. But, if we don’t talk about Brexit, the Brexit elephant in the room doesn’t go away, it just gets bigger. And the space that’s left becomes suffocating.

Rishi Sunak’s team blocked proposals to allow veterans to use their veteran IDs to vote because it would “open the floodgates” to students being able to use their ID cards too.

Perish the thought that students should be allowed to vote thetimes.co.uk/article/025309…

The Tories have trashed the place. Forget the joke note Labour left, this is a “shit list” that should provoke disgust and shame; a stink that won’t wash off. It represents a total failure of governance and a betrayal of our country for the corrupt pleasure of a very dismal few.

Today's report from Lord Walney is neither 'independent' (see his interests in oil & gas/arms industry), nor about protecting our democracy. On the contrary, it is an assault on the fundamental democratic right to protest & an alarming step on the path to authoritarianism.

Caroline Lucas raises a point of order about the Government's publication of a report demanding draconian new anti-protest laws to protect the defence and fossil fuel industry, while failing to mention its authors ties to those industries bylinetimes.com/2024/05/21/sun…

I am sorry to say that Jacob Rees-Mogg clearly has not even started to understand the complexity of the issues that arise for #Gibraltar as a result of #Brexit . BRITISH is what Gibraltar is and will always be. BRITISH is what I and all my fellow Gibraltarians are and will always

Sunak ally: “Ultimately ministers get lobbied and make a case for their equities but the PM has to take the right position for the country”
Think they mean the ‘far-right position for the country’
Is there anything of ours that Sunak won’t wreck before he naffs off to California?

Thank god we have David Effing Cameron flagging up the long Brexit delays. Where the hell would we be without his handy warnings about the sheer fucking tedium of this national idiocy?
Oh yes. Not here at all. Not with this dismally useless govt or in this epic mess.
Thanks Dave.

Spending £Bns to make ourselves poorer, less influential, less secure and more bureaucratic… with literally NOTHING positive to show for it…
If you think this demeaning version of Tory sovereignty is worth something, then you really are the Brexit equivalent of a flat-earther.
