Reading this, I suspect Starmer’s previous stance on Brexit is going to be a prominent line of attack.

I’m not sure it’s going to work though. Because the Conservative Party made such an epic balls up of it.

Starmer’s weakness, which they will be far too stupid to actually see, is that the kind of deal that I suspect he wants, well, that’s exactly the deal May managed to get. And he scuppered that, the fool.

Amusing/ Try large capital equipment. I have a blue card (look it up) and pay taxes in two countries. I see you’ve resorted to insults now you’ve been exposed. Good luck.

I don't think anyone will mention Brexit or the EU during the whole campaign.

I disagree, for what it’s worth.

The Conservatives really don’t have that much to attack him with.

They have made such an awful mess of almost everything. Corbyn and Brexit. Both fairly easy targets for Sunak.

Order the Cheeseburger Royal Bacon if the menu is too much for you .
My guess from the word salad you've just posted is you were thinking of the Royale with Cheese, however I'm not sure they sell them at the place I'm at. I'll have to cope with an Entrecote instead. Or maybe the lobster, we'll see how I feel.
Word salad , you have food on the brain . Your in Shorpe having a Kebab , we all know this .

Corbyn? That guy from 5 years ago who isn’t in Labour anymore?

He’s desperate enough but it’ll be utterly pathetic.

Has there ever been anything close to this awful before?

Sunak
Braverman
Badenoch
Mogg
Coffey
Jenkins
Gullis
Anderson
McVey
Raab
Zahawi
Fox
Smith
Keegan
Mercer
Truss
Thanks for this. I'm working on a list of 15 or so of my most disliked Tories so I can down a st of whiskey when they lose their seat. If they end up with less than 100 overall I'll finish the bottle.

I still can't believe that anyone is more worried about the theory of a centrist labour government than the absolute clown show the Tories have subjected us to over the last decade.

"But muh taxes!!!"

Looking forwards to come competence in the seat of power again. Re uild a bit of pride in Britain.

Not as frequently as I used to be unfortunately, most of my work trips are to the US instead now, however that's more due to a change in policy from the people I work for than anything B word related.

COVID had a far bigger effect on how I do my job than any sort of referendum, however if I do need to go to the EU for work things haven't changed in the slightest.

I'm trying to make up for it in holidays instead, which isn't a terrible trade I will be honest smile

He’s desperate enough. Yes.

It’ll be Corbyn, Brexit, Trans, Corbyn, Brexit, Raynor’s house, Corbyn, Corbyn, Brexit, Brexit, Raynor’s house - until they finally, finally realise it’s THEM we dislike. By then, it’ll be too late. They are insane.

Anecdotally lots of people are cashing in early on their pensions due to SKS' promised attacks upon them. You might choose to ignore this if it doesn't suit your position.

Keep digging. You don't work in the EU, so are ignorant to the needs of those UK citizens who do.

Anecdotally they can do what they want. I'm sure all ten of them are 'leaving the country' imminently (even if that got a bit harder thanks to Cameron's failed gambit).

In reality, we need this shower gone asap so there's something left of the country for them to draw their pensions in.

Vacuous fear mongering is all Tories have these days. The rest of us need to get on with fixing things and improving the country. Undoing some of the damage. Not desperately clawing at some nest egg 95% of the country don't have.

Thankfully there appear to be only a handful of PH anti-Labour right wing ultras left nowadays.
