The BBC are reporting that he had actually bet on himself to lose to the incumbent Conservative MP. Whoops a daisy.I suspect had the issue of political insiders betting on election-related issues not exploded, and hence cause a massive crap-storm and the Gambling Commission going Old Testament, nobody would have noticed.

It's bonkers.
Indeed - and whilst it might be quite hard to categorically prove those betting on the election date had insider knowledge of when Rishi was actually going to pull the black and yellow handle, this chap is going to be on a very, very sticky wicket indeed. Silly sod. It's bonkers.

Wonder what odds he got - presumably a pretty safe Tory seat?
Conservatives are currently 4/6 there - since odds have been going away from the Conservatives during the campaign those are probably the best odds you'd get all campaign.https://www.oddschecker.com/politics/uk-constituen...

Kier seems to be coming across well on This Morning, although just lacks a bit of charisma imo.
Interesting that his favourite TV show at the moment is "Friday Night Dinner".
Saturday night dinner, or Friday, whatever it is his favourite programme is called. A question he'd been asked before and declined to answer. And now the answer is a programme as old as this government about a Jewish family.Interesting that his favourite TV show at the moment is "Friday Night Dinner".
The guy makes BoJo look authentic.

What tantrums? The result has been obvious for some time, it's not a close run thing, nobody will be surprised.Putting a Brexit Syndrome affliction onto anyone other than remainers after brexit is unwarranted and looks like wishful thinking. Friday morning, 5th July, is make another cup of tea time as per Labour - Coalition - Tories in the past. Five years or more of braying / sneering are far more likely.
When Blair won with a landslide, newspapers carried reports of Labour supporters gathering outside gov't buildings in London who then swore and spat at office workers including female admin staff leaving their jobs. Admins, not conservative politicians. That couldn't possibly happen again in enlightened 2024.

That's an extraordinary claim so I'm going to ask for a citation; google is coming up dry.turbobloke said:

This is definitely not a tantrum ^^Putting a Brexit Syndrome affliction onto anyone other than remainers after brexit is unwarranted and looks like wishful thinking.
