    UK General Election to be on 4th July

    Labour will do sod all. There's almost no difference between them and the so-called Tories nowadays. Labour aren't about to win the biggest landslide since 1832 because they are so popular. They're about to do it just because the Tory Government is so unpopular.

    Yeah. I like that. Farage may not win on Thursday - Reform UK look like they will finish second behind Starmer's Labour - but I tip Farage to become PM in 2029. Despite that, I'm sure Farage will want to work with Le Pen on many things, not least the illegal Channel crossings. Farage is a great...
