"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

Aye but some folk keep getting fooled again.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

Funny you should say that.

We got a new overall boss this year at work and I had him down as a c*nt as had dealings with him when he was finance director.

He came over from the US and clearly had been briefed to go on a charm offensive with us plebs, which had me out in the cold with my view on him.

4 months later and the mask is slipping and I'm not out in the cold so much.

I don't think it will take four months for the Son of a Toolmakers mask to slip and his inner Tory will be very clear for the blinkered to see.

Rishi says the UK is a better place now than in 2010!

He'll be telling us the Hun are the same club as they were in 2010 next.

The Labour party are definitely hiding something, who knows what but it's bound to be stupid and unpopular otherwise why bother hiding it.

Rishi says the UK is a better place now than in 2010!

For him and his Tory cronies, it probably is.

I mind the excitement of getting the Tories out in 1997, but nothing like that this time around and I'd say the past 14 years have been worse than 79-97 Tory years. At least there was still fight left in people and a hope of change back then.

Spooky said this almost word for word in conversation with someone earlier tonight.
There will be some schadenfreude, some relief but don’t imagine any actual excitement.

I wondered if it was as much age that has worn me down. I kind of hope so, hate to think of the young ones feeling like this.

So we all wide awake in anticipation that today will see the end of 14 years of tory rule and knowing tomorrow we will awaken to a further ?? years of Tory rule.

I reckon Labour will win a majority, but still think that Reform will impact the vote in someway. (by the way, their Aberdeen North candidate is a rabid hun) Whether that is wiping out the tories completely and giving Labour more seats or winning tory seats I'm not too sure.


I used to love election days and stay up all night to watch the counts, but I just don't give a f*ck anymore.

I had the Labour candidate at my door the other day. I told him I would never vote Labour or any unionist party, but I did ask him what the Son of a Toolmaker stands for. He smiled, turned and walked back down the driveway.

The campaign seems to have been a lot of childish slagging off the other parties, and not much about their own policies.

It's all about CHANGE.*

For the first time ever I refused to vote, all our politicians are just too stupid.
