Is he the one who told Kay Burley this morning that the last time he went to a football game there were loads of goals...the score was 1-1?

Shock, horror...the Five Families couldn't muster the numbers or the bollocks to block the Rwanda bill. At least it gives the HoL something to do

So the Lords will now inevitably amend Rishi’s little bill to make it to a weaker and with all sorts of appeal processes concreted in.

Then the Conservative right will absolutely vote against in the Commons. Glorious impasse akin to May and the Backstop. And an election less than a year away.

Dr Thérèse Coffey, "I was somewhat astonished by the speech of the shadow Home Secretary who can't even get the name of the country right, talking about the Kigali government, we're talking about Rwanda" Look at Yvette Cooper's face at the end 😅

Saw that last night, it would be hilarious if it wasn't so shocking.

I posted it last night too.

But I'm not bitter about it being COMPLETELY IGNORED even though it's only 2 posts above Tredders'.

The best part is Cooper's reaction, pity rather than anger

I'm laughing, but it also makes me really fucking angry that she has held and does hold positions of power over us.

It's fucking disgusting.

I'm finding this upsetting, mainly because I now fall into the other bracket

For people under 50 today's YouGov poll is:

Lab 60%
Con 10%
Green 10%
LD 9%
Reform 5%
SNP 3%

Wowsers.

I hope this sticks and the next 2 or 3 decades see the Tories fade into obscurity.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

For those asking the numbers for people over 50 are:

Lab: 35%
Con: 30%
Reform: 18%
LD: 8%
Green: 4%
SNP: 2%

The swing against the Tories is actually bigger for older people. It's just coming from a much higher starting point.

Is there an over 50s poll? Be interesting to see how the last few years have affected that demographic.

EP has posted it but still about half of the electorate if you include the racist and proud element
