Since we've heard for years of the dangers of a "coalition of chaos", and the undoubted necessity of a majority government, then this should come as no surprise.

Pretty much. The problem is that, if the Fat Barry Party can convince the grey vote that Labour is a threat to their triple locked pensions and/or the value of their stupidly overpriced houses, they'll all stampede immediately over to it. This is far from a negligible prospect.

Assuming that the results work out as projected I would expect all parties to be transformed by the GE.

Lab: will have half or more of there MPs from areas currently SNP or Con, making them simultaneously the largest party in Scotland and England. They will want to hold onto as many of these shire and suburban seats as possible, so the swing in the PLP will be heavily to Starmerite centrism. There will be a lot of fresh talent to assimilate, and probably a few unexpected O'Meara's.

LD: will be back as the 3rd party and potentially the official opposition. They too will have to assimilate a lot of new faces and talent. I don't think they will oppose Labour from either right or left, but rather with a critical appraisal of legislation that is too top down and neglectful of rural Britain. Ed Davey will be secure for 5 years.

Con: likely to go into a brutal post mortem followed by infighting over direction and appoint someone unable to modernise the party into an electable force. A decade or longer in the wilderness beckons.

Reform: likely to have its first MPs, but only a handful with those dogged by unsavory past comments. Farage will be bored by Parliament very quickly, and spend most of his time propping up the bar, with little time in either Commons or Clacton. Will remain a thorn in the side of the Tories.

SNP: back to where they were in 2014 in MP numbers. Looking nervous about losing Holyrood to Labour in the next Scottish GE.

Greens, will become the home of the Corbynite left, with increasing support as the only real left wing opponents of centrist economics.

Wasn't it Bismarck who said, 'There are only three people who have ever understood the Schleswig-Holstein question: the Prince Consort, who is dead; a German professor, who is mad; and I who have forgotten?'

Lord Palmerston.

I knew it was some random imperialist.

He was the greatest Foreign Secretary this country has ever had until Dave got the job.

Bloody hell

You look at Angelagate. Then you look at Mone and Greensill. What's that, 6 OOM different? And the difference is male sex, shiny forehead, Eton.

Let's hope not. I'm worried that the next iteration of the Tory Party will be modelled on Reform and we don't want what's left of the Conservative brand being hijacked to give them a shot at real power. Such an entity needs to be crushed so that we can move on to a non-toxic opposition, whether that's called the Conservative Party or something else.

I am sure that the lessons the tories will take from their imminent defeat is that they need to be a more competent and better funded iteration of Reform. They will attempt rebuild a political movement around 63 year old fat white men called Barry who smoke while driving their Peugeot Partners and post pictures of their Alsatians on FB.

Evening DA, hope you've recovered from the rigours of your trip to the East.

Can imagine it must have been painful, driving a Volkswagen.

It was a bit tiring but otherwise fine. If I had to do it again, I'd fly to Gomel via Moscow and enter from Belarus for a much shorter drive. Until I went there I hadn't realised how much normal cross border traffic between Ukraine and Belarus (and Russia) is still going on as if nothing were happening. The SMO is not evenly distributed; there are scenes of full fat mechanised slaughter going on and then 100km further along the borders civvies are driving back and forward with no fucks given by anyone on either side.

The Mk3 TDI is a great long distance car because, given a plentiful supply of piss jugs and salted cashews, I only needed to stop every 900km for fuel. I selected it carefully because I knew of the immense range of that 1.9 TDI from driving a B5 Passat. I have been somewhat of a VW scene kid since I was a teenager and am still dailying a Mk7 Clubsport that was a Copart write off.

This has definitely cut through.
It was all anyone was talking about at work today.

Or how about Sunak's retreat from D-Day:

Absolutely no-one cares about this and it will have zero impact on the campaign or the GE result.

He posted TikTok video hailing Nigel Farage's decision to stand & slamming "Third World filth".

Obviously 11% of Green voters have decided to go over to Nigel's lot, it's the logical explanation

Andy_JS

I see that Solhull MP until a few weeks ago, Julian Knight, is standing as an indy. Funny if the Tories lose what used to be one of their safest seats in the country by say 250 votes, and Knight gets 500.
