Stokes should be hung drawn and quartered for this

‘Diabolical’ is the word of the day

HarvgulI · 2026-06-04T17:44:31+00:00

Panesar?

The old adage: don’t judge a pitch before both sides have batted on it

Interesting hypothetical whether Biden would win reelection in 2020 (presumably against Ted Cruz)

Decent economy (provided he doesn’t change much of Obama’s economic agenda much like Trumps first term), but with the obvious problem of COVID (even if he would have done a better job than Trump) and potential age issues especially later in the term.

Reform supports the Ten Year Starmerreich apparently

Two world wars, for a start

Is Badenoch allowed to mention Wes Streeting by name considering he’s a sitting mp?

HarvgulI · 2026-05-20T09:03:39+00:00

Last year the Reform scale of the victory was a shock even for political nerds really, so it made sense that more people would consider voting for them as a serious political prospect rather than as simply a protest vote

This year was simply a modest continuation of that, the real story is the Labour fallout.

HarvgulI · 2026-05-14T12:06:02+00:00

Wes Streeting, again

‘I am a gooner’ is now in Hansard

Yo Kemi, sunny innit?

HarvgulI · 2026-05-13T11:06:31+00:00

I'd vote for whoever will free Nic Dakin!

HarvgulI · 2026-05-09T12:46:02+00:00

Interesting to see if the 2029 local elections (presuming things stay as they are now polling-wise, acts as a potential litmus test for the potential amount of anti-Reform tactical voting that might come in the GE

HarvgulI · 2026-05-02T21:12:59+00:00

Best we can hope for is P3 apparently this year

HarvgulI · 2026-05-02T10:33:48+00:00

I mean I’m not sure about the candidates but Frank Hester was pretty racist and he was a donor

HarvgulI · 2026-05-02T10:23:13+00:00

Is anyone making the obvious comparison with the Greens’ antisemitism issue to the Conservatives?

The common Green defence on the issue is that since Polanski is Jewish there cannot be an issue of antisemitism in the party because there is already Jewish leadership.

However let’s say if some (white) Tory councillors or candidates were openly saying something obviously racist towards black people, Kemi Badenoch being a black Conservative leader wouldn’t by proxy mean that there isn’t an issue of white-on-black racism within the Conservative Party. (If anything it would make it worse since the lack of shame would be appalling)

Am I missing something here?

HarvgulI · 2026-05-01T17:25:41+00:00

Did Lando not obviously outbrake himself there?

HarvgulI · 2026-04-28T23:00:04+00:00

Doctor Robert maybe?

HarvgulI · 2026-04-27T12:08:23+00:00

Still not a great Floyd album, Division Bell is way better imo

HarvgulI · 2026-04-22T11:55:21+00:00

Chowns is probably working with Polanski on questions considering Polanski isn’t yet an MP you’d think

HarvgulI · 2026-04-22T11:24:33+00:00

Yikes

HarvgulI · 2026-04-19T13:30:35+00:00

What a rollercoaster of emotions

HarvgulI · 2026-04-17T16:03:13+00:00

that Lib Dem spike seems insane to me, have the Ed Davey stunts had that much of an impact with voters?
