I think they'll have their work cut out trying to pick the "Portillo" moments.

Rishi not being elected will be the big one
Farage not getting elected would be #2
Truss not elected #3
Cabinet ministers not elected #4
Junior Ministers and TV talking heads not elected #5
Mr BucketHead being elected would knock Rishi off #1

There are about 12000 military personnel in Catterick in Rishi's constiuency - Rishi's Normandy moment might have an influence on their voting intentions.

And there was still time for them to register to vote when he did it.

Ed Davey getting leader of the opposition, and announcing he's taking all his new MPs to Alton towers, where would that rank biggrin

Majority will be registered to vote at their home address or parents address, unfortunately.

I was for the whole time I was at Catterick.

The last weekend before pol;ling day is here.
I have a real feeling that Rishi will be revitalised this weekend and that the polls will narrow as a result.
With his top team all banding together this is going to be an excellent time for team Rishi to shine.

Now there's a bet...

Hung parliament + England winning Euros. Note that I wasn't brave enough to bet on a Tory win laugh


At the moment, I think the odds on Rishi winning his seat are too long for me.

Rishi finally calling out Reform over the racist language they used to describe his ethnicity (won't repeat it here)

Most genuine I think I've seen him and he seems genuinely disturbed by it and I am certainly no supporter of him or the Tories.

Feel he should have done this earlier when Reform started nicking voters off him. It's no surprise that Reform has serious issues with racism and homophobia and mysogeny and...

Probably too late to do anything now but I bet a few moderate Tories who may be tempted to vote Reform may now stick with the Tories. He needs to spend the next week on focusing on attacking Reform for what it is and limit the damage Reform is doing. Labour has won it, it's now damage limitation.

He should be disturbed by it it's racist and it's disgusting and it has no place and hopefully the Police will take action.

I would say perhaps this might be a tiny eye opener to some of the antics his own party have been up to i.e. Hester and the Islamophobic element of his party.

It won't make any difference for the election and chances are Sunak won't be leading the Conservative Party after the election but I wonder if it might cause a re-think of some of the culture wars stuff they've chosen to engage in.

Good for him. The things that were said by the Reform people were abhorrent and should be called out.

I have just heard Farage claim that the guy saying it was an actor and it was all a set up.

Almost straight out of the Trump playbook

Well he is an actor, and the voice he uses in the Channel 4 footage isn't his normal speaking voice, but whether that proves it was a set up is another matter entirely of course.

Could be a genuine campaigner, who used a different voice to how he normally talks for some reason, and was speaking his genuine views.
