The Michael Portillo Cup 2024

Many of us will remember when Michael Portillo, a so-called Tory “big beast”, lost his “safe” seat in the 1997 general election.

So which big names are going to lose their seats this year? Just pick five from the current cabinet or former cabinet members and the winner gets the prestigious Klopptimist “I’m not a Tory, honest” Trophy.

My quintet:

Grant Shapps
Alex Chalk
Liz Truss
Jeremy Hunt
Mark Harper

I would also love to see Badenoch, Cruella, Notso and Mordaunt lose their seats, but don’t think it’ll happen.

All entries in by 22:00 tomorrow, please.

Sounds like a decent chance Sunak will lose his seat.

Just reading from the list of potential losses and it’s simply mind-blowing to see how many recognisable names could be swept away. I just don’t know where to start with my five names to list…

Although this list is of current MPs, many of whom aren’t standing.

This guy has such a slapable face.

I know. He is my local MP and unfortunately I have to set my eyes on him somewhat regularly. If enough people vote tactically here then Labour should comfortably win.

Not what I want to do to him.

As long as Mogg stays in. I have my reasons.

Happy to provide a “Socialism doesn’t work” trophy @cynicaloldgit

Unfortunately Labour seem to be doing their best to avoid that.

I know I’ve already named six, but this deplorable cunt deserves a mention, too…

If you’d swapped Hunt and Mordaunt you’d have had better luck…

Blame Labour.

I knew I should have put Penny.

Oh well, at least Rees-Mogg has finally gone.
