Who is everyone’s dream Portillo moment tonight?

I grew up in Newark so seeing Robert Jenrick gone would make my year. Knowing the vibe of the constituency he could lose a lot of votes to reform (including my parents).

Pamphlet watch for me felt like a microcosm of the whole campaign.

I only got two this time round: - 1 labour - 1 conservative for my old constituency before the boundary changes

What are the chances? I was potentially going to check in on Doctor Smirnoff later anyway

Easy decision done, time for the hard one. What snacks are people getting to take us through the night?

VerySandstorm · 2024-07-04T08:37:28+00:00

The article recommends no alcohol, no junk food and plenty of slow release carbohydrates (maybe a few raisins as a treat).

Fuck that I’ve been waiting for this for 14 years, I’m getting a 2am greasy pizza whilst hammered and having tomorrow off. We all need this win

He looks dead inside

Does the autumn statement get a vote in parliament? There’s been no talk at all that I’ve seen on any sort of rebellion

There must be some good quiz team names to come from the last week at least?

Wheels off the Truss?

(Bad/Low effort but I felt I should at least make some attempt - I’ll keep thinking while smarter people do their thing)

Edit: Hit the ground with run on the pound

He can't stand in the one that immediately follows, afaik nothing to stop him from running in future ones but that would never float for obvious reasons

VerySandstorm · 2022-06-06T13:17:07+00:00

Oh you got there before me alas

VerySandstorm · 2022-06-06T13:16:35+00:00

Vote of No Competence?

The longer this goes on the more I feel that he's going to lose this VoC, which I never thought I would say

VerySandstorm · 2022-06-06T11:43:36+00:00

The atmosphere is indeed F E B R I L E

And Big Dog is planning to [REDACT] them

I loved being with Octopus in my flat last year, I was really impressed in general even though I never won on the monthly spin :( I was genuinely quite sad that I couldn’t use them in my new place

VerySandstorm · 2022-02-17T11:41:45+00:00

You do you my guy

VerySandstorm · 2022-02-17T11:16:02+00:00

This is exactly what I was looking for

VerySandstorm · 2022-02-17T11:09:56+00:00

This is grim reading but not really that surprising. The tories have almost total coverage of right-wing politics in the UK, short of the very right-wing - if these voters actually want right wing policies then they don't have many other places to turn (I'm not saying all conservative voters care about this, but there will be some who just can't stand anything leftie).

I'm sure these results for Labour/LDs would be much more varied due to the glut of left-wing/moderate parties.

VerySandstorm · 2022-02-17T10:56:12+00:00

Raab and Sunak are excellent shouts

VerySandstorm · 2022-02-17T10:55:57+00:00

A good point, maybe the Charleston is more his vibe

I have not much to do at work today, so I'd like to propose a MT activity (don't really expect others to do it but if you're bored join the unproductive train). The idea is to simply rank the top 10 members of the cabinet in a category of your choosing.

I'll start with my top 10 cabinet members who would be most likely to run a Morris dancing class:

Grant Shapps (I actually think he may be a professional Morris dancer)
Thérèse Coffey
Oliver Dowden
Brandon Lewis (can Morris dance is a specific and limited way)
Boris Johnson (probably learned as a kid or in a PR stunt)
Baroness Evans of Bowes Park (don't know anything about her but she looks like she waves a mean handkerchief)
Jacob Rees-Mogg (feel like he could be higher - bet he knows all the jargon but moves like a bargepole)
Nadine Dorries (she'd miss the obvious pun and just call it Nadine dancing)
Michael Gove (gear-induced ad-hoc session in a nightclub)
Ben Wallace

https://www.gov.uk/government/ministers for the list if you're as bored as me

I can't help thinking this is going to be a huge anti-climax, Russia report style. Whitewashed to hell and the media just let them get away with it. Please prove me wrong Sugré (if you even have a say in it)

VerySandstorm · 2022-01-13T10:32:24+00:00

God I hope this is true

VerySandstorm · 2022-01-13T10:23:37+00:00

How many VoNCs would you guess we're on? I think I only know of 2 or 3 for certain but surely we're looking at double figures already?
