UK Politics Thread (Part 1)

Sweepstake opportunity right now.

I’m going with “Most Cryptic Acronym for a Username on a Football Forum”.

What does ILLOK stand for? Other than talking football sense and admiring beautiful women, obviously. I really hope it’s not simply “I Love Liverpool OK.”

Well, that’s a shot in the arm for Scottish Independence if ever there was one.

And here’s me thinking it was something far more exotic. Like some medieval creature from the Lord of Rings or Dungeons and Dragons type lore.

The award though… :thinking:

Imagination starting to run wild.

There should have been a purge.

Still should be. The problem is that Johnson’s reign is about absolute obedience over talent and honesty.

Taxpayers’ money wasted… again.

Mr Hill was due to face an employment tribunal later this year into claims of “sexual harassment and victimisation”. He has denied the allegations. (according to BBC)

Ah. I wondered why he was standing down. Labour may struggle to hold onto that seat.

Yes, I think it might have come a little bit too early for Starmer who has yet to hit his stride on his messaging.

Indeed. Bad timing really. Just as the vaccine roll out is hitting full stride. By the time the by-election [thanks to @cynicaloldgit for correcting my typos, again] is held lockdown restrictions will have been eased and people will be feeling optimistic. There may even be positive news about the economy rebounding. Not the best time for Labour to make inroads.

Are straight people allowed to stand too? :thinking:
