The On-going Never-ending Brexit Story Part Four

I thought she was still squatting in Australia.

 

This is from Matt Goodwin's latest poll
SNP on 0% in Scotland, Plaid on 0% in Wales.

lmao Goodwin's published headline figures based on an obviously error-strewn data table: https://t.co/ffoiYdQX3O pic.twitter.com/76iTNOl0fo

Might call into question how Goodwin polls!!! Maybe he is just making it all up.

 

Rumours Sunak is about to call the election.

Letters of no confidence reportedly flooding in from Tory MP's who are trying to stop him

A shambles to the very end

 

let's ********ing gooooo

 

Something's afoot. Cabinet meeting now with no up front agenda, and all ministers have cancelled/postponed everything to attend.

 

It's on.

 

From earlier

Calling a snap summer election shortly after the lobby & most of your own MPs have booked summer hols on the understanding there wouldn't be a summer election would make for such a furiously bad-tempered campaign launch I'm almost curious to see it

Look, I don't ask for much. All I want is for the no-confidence letters in Sunak to hit the threshold the second he announces an election. https://t.co/rhltm4KMBc

Gone On The 4th Of July

 

Good riddance!

 

It’s literally July 4.

 

The announcement could have gone better.

Keir Starmer already looking more like a Prime Minister purely on the basis of being able to read a weather forecast. Or look out of a window…

And to make matters worse

Sunak owes Piers Morgan £1,000.

Farage says he won't be standing. Clearly worked out that he can wield more influence and grift more cash as the unelected president of Reform rather than become accountable.

 

Sunak really is tremendously bad at just about everything.

He asked workers if they're looking forward to 'all the football'. One quickly pointed out that Wales haven't qualified for the Euros 😬 pic.twitter.com/kiHRxNVipe

It's also because he knows there are very few seats where he has a realistic chance of getting elected. Now that Brexit's happened, a defeat will puncture the illusion having any remaining relevance while getting elected and becoming the head of a micro-party at Westminster reduces him to a glorified George Galloway.

As you say, neither is good for his career prospects in the right wing outrage-entertainment complex. They're no good for his ego either, which I'd say is equally important to him.

Something is seriously wrong with the world when Nadine Dorries makes two good tweets in under 24 hours.

Is it relevant that the school term starts in August in the US? 🧐

You have to question the patriotism in a man who has always claimed above all else to be a patriot when he puts another country before his own.
