I don't have a real interest in #football, but I know many people do. From what I see, football teams engender fierce loyalty even when that team is not doing so well. It seems we need a bit more loyalty with the #generalelection2024. Yes, my team, the #Conservatives, have scored a lot of home goals this season, but I honestly feel they can take us through to the finals next season. ☑️ 🗳️ #politics

do you mean own goals? Your team sacked all their good players and brought in some dim thugs who play dirty. They spend more time fighting each other than caring about the fans. The manager had no control over them. They will get relegated.

Two weeks ago, I would have agreed with you. Today, I'm more confident. If there was ever proof of the statement, "A week is a long time in politics," the latest events have demonstrated it to be true.

Yeah and Rayner was cleared despite campaigning by Tories who wasted more police time. They cannot undo the failures of 14 years in a few weeks. Sunak is still herding cats. How many more will just step down rather than lose.

Is "No further action." being cleared? How many times have the rozzers let people go, only for it to all blow up in their faces?

The Tories are not looking to "Undo" anything; they're looking to secure another five years. Given that the latest poll puts them 12 points behind with another four weeks to go, I think there's every chance of a return to government. Remember, everyone thought staying in the EU was a forgone conclusion, and look at how wrong all those convinced people were. Look at that vote of no confidence; the Tories returned with an even greater majority.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people who are not quite yet in the blue rinse brigade who remember how bad labour was; I'm confident they don't want to see Starmer and his band of incompetents in power.

What started as looking like a slam dunk has now turned into an "It's all to play for." \o/

@steevc Hey. Remember we are actually living in 1966. We have control of our borders, rationing has ended and Ing-Er-Land have just lifted the World Cup!
