Are the Monster Raving Looney Party still going on? Or, have we all got too serious?

Yes they had a candidate at my constituency.

 

[SpeedFreak]

Was just going to say looks like the knives will almost certainly come out for May within the Tories.

Quite rightly so. She has put at risk a Conservative majority.

 

[McBain]

Also - dimbleby has really upped his tie game compared to newsnight

Another absolute shocker, where does he buy these ties from?

 

[Uther]

Theres quite an odd air about the coverage imho, it seems quite damming towards May at the moment. The travesty that is the sun is already talking about Boris Johnson as PM. The knives are already out!

May's finished I reckon.

 

[Freakbro]

A lot of people saying Tory seats are often underestimated in exit polls...

Yea, far too early to get excited yet....I remember Majors win in 1992....we went to bed with everyone saying Labour would win and woke up to a Tory Govt.....again....

 

[Rilot]

If she gets less than a 30 seat majority I'd put money on a leadership challenge within a year.

Betting markets don't have more information than you or I. They are reacting to smaller than expected swings.

not necessarily true, they sort of represent the combined knowledge of the participants (albeit with rather different weightings assigned to it) - though I did look before the swings were announced and they were still pricing in a majority... odds have shortened a bit now and have got up to 3.4 for no overall majority

point is that is in contrast to the exit polls which predict the opposite

It was better than that horizontal camo one earlier *shudder*

Looks a bit hippy!

 

[LiE]

May is done.

 

[wildman]

No shock, more shocked that Kuenssberg isn't wearing a Red dress this time...........

also she is looking oddly quite fit

He had one with ducks on it the other night, I mean I love ducks as much as the next man but on a tie? Time and a place.

 

[norm]

May's finished I reckon.

She was a flop, total wet kipper. Couldn't fight her way out of a wet paper bag. Let alone negotiate our countries future standing in the world.

I imagine @Phate knows something about it...

Allll the way from Australia...my wedding tie.


Pics make it look more pink than it is. Its various shades of red/burgundy face to face. I love it!

Tried it on with the shirt and waistcoat to check colours. I think it works

Yes, matching cuffs too!

 

[icehot]

May's finished I reckon.

Agreed..... great case study for politics students in years to come

 

[opethdisciple]

I called it! I said we would get a coalition Government again!!

Silly silly woman! Had zero reason to call an election. And now shes got to share the top seat as well as completely undermined the Brexit process.

 

[The Funktopus]

Why do people keep saying that, May's been finished for over a week now? ....

 

[lookitsjonno]

If she gets less than a 30 seat majority I'd put money on a leadership challenge within a year.

Considering half of the UK voted to Leave, could it have been the Referendum manifesto promise just enhanced the Tory majority in 2015?

 

[Skidder]

Cameron really, really messed up. **** referendum ****

 

[Scrutinize]

Well, regardless of the outcome, I can't see May staying for long.

Philip must be the most nervous chap out of everyone in the UK at the moment faced with the prospect of her early retirement.....hope he has padlocks on his man cave.
