Reckon George Osborne is enjoying his new job? From today's Evening Standard...

Tories seem big on revenge - IDS saying their policies are immoral, Lord Ashcroft saying Cameron ****ed a pig, and now Osborne sticking the knife in.

no, I canvassed Saturday morning.....not even sure where I was tbh, quite central Croydon, and then leafleting in New Addiscombe yesterday - 45,000 being delivered in one day!

Ah OK just chatted briefly to 2 guys, I was in a hurry. Thought after "wonder if that was ***" :smile:

Having sat next to *** at MK Dons & Luton I can confirm that he is a dead ringer for Frank Sidebottom. Separated at birth.

After careful consideration, I have decided to vote Labour at the GE. They are the lesser of the evils as far as I am concerned. I am not opposed to socialism as a concept, but it can only be successful in very specific demographic circumstances, and which are becoming ever more unlikely.

When Frank passed away he said to me 'Little Frank, start a new life in Surrey, and always carry an unbrella'

So Corbyn now taking part in the televised debate tonight. May has confirmed she won't.

Yes, I know incumbents always have so much more to lose in these sort of shows, but this still doesn't look good.

Ha ha - Chicken**** May-hem is running scared. Seriously how can anyone vote for that vile woman?

 

[MK Shrimper]

May has seriously ****ed up this election. You could have put a pig in a blue rosette and it would have won last month.

:hilarious:

Meanwhile, Barry Gardiner's out and about collecting Tory scalps.

All jokes aside, this has been an unfathomably bad campaign for the Tories.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Well.

Funny really. Only 11 months ago, when Cameron resigned, we looked at the field of replacements.

Not Boris, he's a buffoon! Not Gove, he's a slippery ****! Not Leadsom, she is really, really, really, dim! Ah, May. She'll do. Solid operator. Years of experience.

That's all unraveling remarkably quickly.

there is a clip of Boris on Sky News with Adam Boulton and Andrew Gwynne and Boris is spinning around and pointing and pushing in all directions - totally manic - I was genuinely concerned for his wellbeing

:hilarious:

It would have got David Cameron vote and a private dinner invite I would have imagined

Corbyn's played her here, he's probably known for weeks he'd be showing up but by announcing it at the last minute it means May had no time to prepare for a 7 way debate, so unless she wanted to risk embarrassing herself on TV she couldn't show up in response.

potential for it to be worse than that for the Tories. Potential for it to be better of course, the last week is crucial
