You were just fine with making jokes about the Madeleine McCann case but I suppose you apply different standards to yourself.

Maddie McCann jokes will never get old. Unlike her.

Unbelievable

Thank God, newspapers are dying…

That was an opinion not a joke

Just strange to unecessarily use that image as it wasn’t relevant to the joke.

The joke and who it is aimed against doesn’t need to be explained. Also it’s funny. Please don’t watch comedy ever if you don’t want to be offended by anything.

A joke opinion?

Labour support seems to be tailing off. They’ll obviously win in a landslide but they’ll get nowhere near Blair’s vote in 1997 never mind the 14 million plus votes John Major got in 1992, and possibly less than Corbyn in 2017.

Frightening

It was just strange. But if you are content with that good luck.

It seems labour are certain to win big but the narrative is all about Farage etc? Could this not be spun as a huge victory for the ‘left’ bucking all the trends across Europe and the world?

Agreed. Too young to vote.

What are the “bell weather” seats to look out for that if Tory lose then they are heading for complete annihilation

Couldn’t tell you the constituencies but certainly the consensus is that Sunak and Truss may well lose their seats which were considered safe so that might be an indicator. Mordaunt and Hunt also tipped to get the boot

We will know at 10pm as exit poll will be immediate but the way their vote is being splintered from all sides means they are goosed. I backed the following. If these go to lib dems it is a sign the tories are entirely screwed.

Boring first past the post system

Powers offering 4/1 for Mogg, Sunak and Truss to lose their seats.
