4% think that Liz Truss is an asset, proof that care in the community doesn’t work :D

Sunak claims that in the General Election (whenever) the electorate will rally to the Tories. He's totally detached from reality.

Bonking Boris apparently turned up to vote without Photo-I/D and tried to use a copy of 'Stud' magazine as I/D but no-one recognised his face.

Don’t know if it’s an omen, but the daily Rwandair flight has just landed at Perry Oaks International o:-)

Sunak calls snap election

Looks like they've fixed the economic numbers as much as possible, and can't cover the mess up beyond the end of July.

British PM announced next General Election standing in pouring rain. Number Ten couldn't even find an umbrella to hold over him. Symbolic of utter uselessness of this government.

"Daddy, is that what they mean by a Tory 'Wet'?
"No, it means they are all an absolute shower!"

Rishi Sunak is an expert (ex = has-been, spurt = drip under pressure).

Cameron will be so pleased.
No longer will his calling of the EU Referendum be spoken of as The Biggest Ever Tory Political Mistake!

Leaders who picked May 22nd to take on the opposition

334BC Darius III, Battle of the Granicus
1455 Henry VI, Battle of St Albans
2024 Rishi Sunak, Snap Election

..and the result is always the same!

The fact that he farcically got 'washed away' at the lectern delivering this momentous announcement shows that no-one in No10 really cared enough to find him an umbrella, or maybe suggest he waited until it stopped raining? Talk about straws and clutching.... At least there was no need to water the lettuce.

Cut and run, I sense.
