I note that Sunak was canvassing in his own constituency on Saturday, that's not normal for a PM, is he worried (25% are dependent on Catterick for their livelihood) or was he just hiding somewhere safe?

I’m going to go for a different approach - the “Portillo” moment this time, if it happens, won’t be one person. It will be at a certain point in the night as the results come in, and it is clear that this isn’t just ‘bad results’ but that this is the effective end of the Conservative Party. You can’t hide behind spin or ‘I don’t recognise that description’ or promises to ‘learn’ from the message the electorate has sent you when the message is simply fuck off and die.

It’ll be the point of no return. When so many seats have been lost, all that remains are maniacs like Braverman, and the recognition on the faces of people like Brady, Frost, Mogg, Truss etc. cannot be disguised. No more big beasts, no more even bigger fish in a smaller pond - there is no pond. There is no deal to be done, no influence, no blocking legislation you don’t like.

They will finally, finally have irrefutable proof that they are all held responsible by the public, that most people no longer believe them, and not only that - that with Labour in power they will *be* held responsible in the legal sense. There will be empowered public inquiries, and investigations, and consequences.

That’s going to be the moment. Not when someone’s personal game is obviously up. But when they realise the *entire* game is up.

We won't have a Portaloo Moment here as our MP, the inane, childish and incompetent Elliot Colburn has a majority of c300, and is destined to sink without a trace to the Lib Dem.

Aye aye aye. Exactly this. This is going to be the punishment election. When this bunch of absolute cunts pays the price for what they have put the country through over the last 14 years - all of it - fucking all of it - driven by ideological right wing dogma - from “austerity” to fucking Brexit - , avarice, and rank incompetence.

The extinction of the Conservative Party cannot come soon enough for me.

I rest my case.

I didn't know the constituency had changed under the boundaries review.

Is the bit of Clwyd South that's been transferred likely to help Williams keep his seat?

I'd say the Lib Dems are the likely challengers in Beaconsfield- they gave a free run to Dominic Grieve last time, and would have probably got most of his votes if he hadn't run. It's a madly expensive area, even by South East standards, so probably not too many left-leaners who moved there to avoid London prices. Ed Davey's opposition to VAT on school fees may help him there too.

It's a bit out of my hood, as it were, but I know that both Plaid (it's the bit of the borderland where the language comes closest and even crosses) and Labour (some of it is distinctly post-industrial) think they can pick up votes in the new areas.

There might be bigger shocks, there might be bigger majorities overturned. There might even be bigger names. But the night these corrupt, thieving, lying bastards finally get their comeuppance couldn't possibly be better summed up than if Rees Mogg realises that actions have consequences.
