Police at Downing Street Bronze Commander banning me from protesting and telling me to leave the area. Both amps got soaked and blew anyway. Today was worth 1000 amps anyway.

Is it a coincidence that this morning Oliver Dowden was warning us to stockpile 3 days worth of food & this evening Rishi Sunak called a General Election ??

BBC Politics BBC News (UK) “Secure” that is why this morning there were news/radio stories about preppers and the threat that Russia could attack the UK in 90 minutes. A few rushed out stories to fit the government’s “secure and safe” narrative for the #generalelection

This is really quite good. It's striking just how ready Labour is: on selection, on messaging, on presentation. Like the button has been pushed on a carefully prepared campaign operation.

If you can't grasp 'it's raining, there's no cover, you'll look shit', I don't think politics is really your thing

🚨 NEW: Rishi Sunak will NOT meet his Tory MPs at the 1922 committee before Parliament is dissolved

One Tory MP: “This is a disaster - he is condemning the Tory party to election oblivion.”

Another: “This is absolute madness. The launch was a farce.”

Outstanding 👏 Lord Heseltine saying what needs to be said

The issues caused by or exacerbated by Brexit run deep through so much of the UK’s problems, and holds back much potential & economic growth, yet both Conservatives and Labour will avoid talking about it

It is dishonest

OK, British students, start researching how to get a postal vote NOW, and figure out where best to use it. You are PERFECTLY ENTITLED to be registered at both a term-time and permanent address, and to vote from whichever suits you, as long as you only cast one vote!

'Now call a general election in the pouring rain with 'Things Can Only Get Better' blasting in the background!'

Danny Kruger is my kind of Conservative MP:
Waxy giblets
No fleas
& large throbbing conkers.
Today in #PMQs he had the spunk to say it how it is!
A man with this woody musk deserves to go far.
Very far.

STUDENTS: REGISTER TO VOTE RIGHT NOW!

The law is as follows.

1. You can register at home AND at your term-time address, if that's more convenient for you.

2. You can CHOOSE on the day where to vote.

3. But you can ONLY legally vote in ONE place on the day.

Sky News' political correspondent and crew are currently being FOLLOWED BY SECURITY around the circumference of the ExCel centre, to ensure he doesn't even get anywhere near the building where our glorious leader, Kim Jong Sunak, is launching his campaign for your vote. SHAMBLES.

Rishi Sunak stands in the pouring rain, babbling that Keir Starmer hasn’t got a plan.
Ten minutes later: Keir Starmer stands in a nice dry room, calmly explaining his plan.

News channel that’s not a news channel asks for votes for a news presenter that’s not a news presenter in the news presenter category. Maybe a regulator that’s not a regulator needs to think about being a regulator.

The headline writers have certainly been having fun with the weather tonight.
