Seems ConDems have crashed down south as expected with Labour making pretty big gains. 

Be interesting to see how things pan out in Scotland but presumably given it is STV there won't be any councils where a party has overall control.  Apparently heading for the lowest turnout in years up here but then you'd hardly know there was an election on where I stay.  No posters or billboards and I only got one leaflet through my door which was Tory, which is bizarre given in my ward I'd imagine they'd do well to get even 4th on 1st preference never mind get anywhere near a seat.

 

Don't suppose it means much so far away from a GE but already had Tory MPs demanding Callmedave is more right wing after UKIP success in the south and comedy figure Lebit Opik demanding Nick Clegg resigns as leader of the Lib Dems (but seemingly stay on as Deputy PM).

Also glad to see that so far nobody has voted in favour of Mayors in various English cities. Total waste of time and money and nothing more than a celebrity driven ego trip (see B. Johnston and K. Livingston)

If Trump and Andy Pandy did fall out, it wouldn't do either of them any good. Which is why they didn't.

Is there any easier gig than being the leader of the opposition? Are the tories even classed as the opposition these days?

£10bn for a space lazer blaster thingy, now Kemi promises to do away with various unpopular taxes, namely inheritance.

Any meat on these bones or just your usual desperate politics when you are safe in the position of not actually having to implement them?

Despite my special forces background I am no expert on anti-ballistic missile defence capabilities but even to my untrained eye her price tag seems a hell of a low ball.

I took the anti-ballistic missile defence capabilities module as part of my special forces training. I’m not allowed to talk about it but I think the price is a little low too.

Tories are just being tories. We’ll cut the taxes we never cut when we were in government. Trust us bro. As usual, half of England and some pricks in the Borders/NE will fall for it

I can do you a missile system for £8bn

Fuck that.

I'll do you one for £8m, provided Kemi isn't going to tax it when I leave the cash for my kids

Probably to nobody’s surprise ITV under reporters have exposed a number of Reform Councillors as racist cunts.

The surprise here is that they bothered doing this report in the first place. Looks like Nigel has outlived his usefulness

Jeffrey Donaldson given 15 years. All middle aged white Christian men are clearly a danger to our women and children. They should be deported to Rwanda

It was a decent watch but nothing surprising whatsoever.

Do anyone elses whatsapp group chats turn surprisingly right wing? Looking back at one of my family chats last night and I see phrases such as 'invasion', 'colonised by them', 'true brits having to pay for them' and that's just my mum 😂

I'm joking about mum of course, she's a sweet old lady. She even puts plastic tubs and tins through the dishwasher before putting them in recycling.

Nope. If anyone in any of mine harbours such thoughts then they certainly don't express them. Presumably because they know they'll be shot down pretty quickly by the majority.

The new start in our work yesterday was talking about Britains two tier justice system

It’s great to know she’s a complete fud straight off the bat

They've obviously been watching the French civil war and are worried about the same thing happening here.

Aren't they calling it 'The Troubles'?

'Le Troubles' perhaps.

Surely that's the euphemistic name we usually give to civil wars.

Mind you....too tame for edgy types, that.

Some hopeful election results in Serbia & Brazil

Maybe the time of the fash oligarchy convincing tiny balled bell ends that racism and bigotry is the answer, could be at an end

I think the world needs a break from hearing from these clowns

Yaxley-Lennon heading back to the slammer (probably).

Oh well.

Hopeful right enough but I find it sad that although a lot of people will now be seeing that the populous politicians they voted for are taking them for mugs it's really just down to shit being too expensive that is fueling the change.

Republican policy of doubling down seems to be making things a bit tighter than expected over there for the mid-terms. Stuff like flirting Nicki Minaj as press secretary seems strangely popular.

Kemi responds to the budget with "is that it?"

What more did she want? Odious cow that she is.

Maybe Healey should consider a raid on Crypto like the North Koreans have “allegedly” done on a £5bn raid of Binance

From the beeb

North Korea is an impoverished country with very little industry and heavy international sanctions and experts say the regime uses cyber crime as a way to bring money in.
