I think it’s the photo of Ed Davey that really makes this
Anyway- with just about a day to go, who wants to put some predictions up? I’ve done some for a sweepstake being organised by Sound Advice and they are;
LAB 41
CON 22
REF 14
LD 12
Green 6
SNP 3
Seats -
LAB 432
CON 99
LD 60
SNP 22
REF 4
Green 4
By no means the most bullish prediction on Labour seats either…
I think it will be a bit closer, Lab 39, Cons 24.
Cons: expelled into the phantom zone.
Johnny Mercer: shits himself in public
This Allister Heath must be delusional if he thinks we’re “about to enter a nightmare much darker than anyone yet realises.” Where’s the cunt been living for the last 14 years?
Come Friday morning, the vast majority of voters will be welcoming a new dawn, finally liberated from the clutches of these corrupt, greedy tory bastards who have lined their pockets while destroying the fabric of our country.
The thing that impacts us all is the City, if it feels threatened by Labour the economic ripples spread fast and wide.
Yebbut perfectly reasonable reaction if you are a corrupt greedy tory bastard.
Word is that the City trusts Rachel Reeves more than Jeremy Hunt
There is nothing in the Tory Lite Labour manifesto to scare them
There would probably have been a reaction already if there was going to be one, especially as the result isn’t really in doubt, But the acid test will be trading on Friday
There are a lot of parameters involved in keeping confidence within the markets - it’s a very difficult and daily line to tread. I hope Rachel Reeves steers the course better than the the last 14 years worth
(I’ve actually lost count of how many Chancellors of the Exchequer we’ve had with this lot)
Osborne
Hammond
Javid
Sunak
Zahawi
Kwertang
Hunt
It’s like the running order for a festival of cocks.
for example (all of this in 2022)
5 July Promoted to Chancellor
7 July Calls on Johnson to resign as leader and PM (yup, less than 48 hrs in post)
9 July Declares himself a candidate for the leadership
13 July Eliminated in first round of leadership voting
31 July Backs Liz Truss over Rishi Sunak for leader
23 October (post Truss, obvsly) Calls for Johnson to come back as leader
I swear you couldn’t make this up.
You know things have gone bad when you can almost nostalgia for Hammond.
That was a great few weeks
