No it was not as he obviously realises like many other sitting Tory MPs that the Tory ship is heading straight into the oncoming iceberg.

Yesterday's yougov poll was LD 33% CON 30% at Surrey Heath.... With Gove going, the cocaine prices will stabilize here.... but I think with a semi-decent candidate, the army lot and the rich guys will make it a CON hold.

In any other era her leadership bid would be peak banter years but so much has happened since I'd almost forgotten it.

Re: The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 1
I'm wondering if Old Boy is coming up to Scotland to help put the Conservative case forward? With the SNP's recent misadventures, he might find a more receptive audience.

Does he even know there's an election on or will he have to wait till the Sunday morning shows go on an app so he can avoid linear television?

Re: The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 1
I notice the poll is primarily for Labour. But I wonder yet again if people are doing what I'm going to do: take the Heinlein route and vote not for, but against. This is why I haven't voted since the Referendum, and why I haven't voted in the General Election at all since 1997. I suspect there are many more like me who don't like Labour, but dislike them less than the Tories.
And I still want to see 'None Of The Above' as a voting option!
But then...Suppose They Gave An Election And Nobody Came?

Half of Surrey’s current MPs have confirmed they will not be contesting their seat for re-election on July 4. Red Surrey?

Re: The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 1
This is weird: https://www.theguardian.com/politics...campaign-start
Quote:
Sunak to take a day at home after hapless election campaign start
PM will spend first campaign Saturday holding private discussions but aides deny he is seeking reset
Rishi Sunak will retreat from the campaign trail on Saturday, spending the day at home in his constituency and in London after a difficult first few days of the general election campaign.
Three sources have said the prime minister is taking the unusual step of a day away from public events on the first Saturday of the campaign and instead will spend it in discussion with his closest advisers.

I guess if every time you do something things get worse... do nothing?

Perhaps they are trying to find the Labour mole in the CCHQ event planning team, who arranged election events in a brewery (cue comments of "couldn’t arrange a pess-up in a", an election event in the Titanic Quarter in Belfast (cue "sinking ship" comment, and see if it’s the same person who sent him out into the teeming rain to announce the Election without an umbrella…
