Let's have a new page for the UK and US Elections 2024.

Ours has been called early for 4 July. Labour will win and Sir Keir Starmer will be Prime Minister on 5 July ending 14 years of Conservative government. My guess is that the Labour majority won't be as large as some are predicting (over100 seats) more like 30-50 perhaps.

Normally with an Election coming up there's a sense of a new beginning, but now it still seems like the same tired old words. Perhaps Farage and Reform are the ones to shake it up a bit, but stirring words are cheap.

I do sense that momentum is rising. That typical socialist idiot, who threw the milkshake on him yesterday, has done his cause no end of good. Notice how conservatives never do things like that? They don't wreck masterpieces, or drag statues down, or desecrate monuments, or paint over important and unimportant buildings, or block roads, or disallow opposition views, or ban opposition speakers. Socialism is a mental disease.

Biden is on record saying he will not pardon his son Hunter if he is found guilty of the federal gun charge violation he is on trial for. A bold decisive move that nobody is above the law? Or as we used to say......................."The cookies are in."

In contrast to Trump who says he'll pardon himself and anyone connected to him for any "crime" committed in his name.

Yes. A T-Dog synopsis of our three candidates for POTUS. 1) A doddering, delirious old fool. 2) A fat, smug, self-obsessed old man. 3) A senior citizen with a worm-eaten brain, & a speech defect.

Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11th & he is enraged because his case was "rigged." Or is he enraged because his case wasn't "rigged?" There are some Republicans railing about the trial being corrupt, but it seems Trump did: have a one-night stand with a porn star while his wife, Melania, was home with their newborn son. Got his fixer Michael Cohen to pay her hush money; & then reimbursed Cohen with bogus legal fees. Guilty as charged. But Trump faces far more severe charges in the future court cases scheduled.

He's not saying that Mark, what he's saying is that he will pardon anybody that has become a political prisoner for working for him.

Europe's terror of Trump. A sense of alarm bordering on panic if Trump gets re-elected. NATO nations are unnerved in fear of him cutting off aid to Ukraine & forcing Kiev to accept peace terms dictated by Putin. Trump has disdain for traditional American allies, especially those that border Russia. Polish P.M. Tusk is warning citizens to prepare for conflict with Russia & Europeans are "terrified."

I'd rather use the word apprehensive. The worry is that Trump is too close to Putin and his idea of "stopping the war on day one" is to tell Ukraine to surrender. America first is one thing, but America only is another.

He says he can end the war on day one. That could mean he'll advise Ukraine to surrender and not supply further arms or it could be yet another idle boast from his fat mouth. I can't decide which.

There is no greater threat to democracy than people voting for party's the left don't like. Every vote that is not for them is for fascists. Right across Europe people have finally had enough but geez, it's taken them years to come to the conclusion that those people were a dire threat to their freedoms, which they have been stripping one at a time, so as the great unwashed won't notice. The left has finally come to the conclusion that democracy is now a threat to democracy, their branch of it.

It spooked President Macron enough for him to call early Parliamentary elections that could see him a lame duck centre-left President with a right wing parliament. 

If I may say so that's where France and the USA have got it wrong; you can have a President of one colour with a legislature of another hence nothing gets done for years. Over here both the executive and the legislature are always of the same party, no-one to blame but themselves if they cock it up.

I don't know what's going on in my constituency. We've not got Reform standing but we have got UKIP, which I thought morphed into Reform a few years ago? and the SDP which I thought dissolved itself in 1990! UKIP it'll have to be therefore.

Mark, don't go backward, vote reform, make a difference. HA! Have you seen the candidate that the Labour loonies have put up against Farage in Clacton? He's a very young black who has a history of anti white rhetoric. He recently posted that he drinks white tears. Guess what percentage of Clacton is white? 96.1%. Socialism is a ......

Reform aren't putting up a candidate in my constituency, UKIP are though. I though Farage said he was fielding candidates everywhere? The closest I've got therefore is UKIP. Nice to see the SDP still going, even though I thought they'd dissolved 34 years ago. 

Without Reform it's likely the Conservatives will keep the seat.

If the polls are correct the Conservatives are heading for an historic wipeout. They won 365 seats out of 650 in 2019, now they're forecast to win just 53 with the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak forecast to lose his seat.

They had a debate on tele yesterday with the leaders of four party's taking part but no Nigel Farage. The establishment hate him. He is leading the party that is polling second place at the moment and if this isn't blatant political manoeuvring I don'y know what is. He'll get more votes that the last two parties put together. Y'know Mark, I'm beginning to get the feeling that there is a huge groundswell of support for Reform that is just not being reported and if they think that by keeping Farage off the tele it will harm him, they're completely wrong, it will help him due to the English sense of fair play.

It's been announced that he'll take part in the next one on 28 June. Reform will attract votes but they'll be spread too thinly to claim any seats. My formal prediction is no seats for Reform and the Labour victory to be not quite as huge as predicted, around 60 and the best bit an SNP collapse.

The disturbing thing is that the Election looks like it'll be won and lost on trivial matters, not major policies. No-one knows how the economy will fare under either Labour or the Conservatives despite dire warnings from both sides. But we're not talking about that, all folk are interested in is Rishi Sunak walking out of the D-Day commemoration and the investigations into some Tories using insider knowledge to place winning bets at long odds on the Election being held in July. Neither are particularly serious matters, but they'll swing the vote.

You are asking questions that you can find out the truth on yourself Art. Aren't you able to get CNN?? Trump in on record and saying on video what he plans to do about abandoning Ukraine and letting the Russians have it. There is no such thing as woke Art. It was completely made up by the Republicans. The Republican House Speaker may lose his job by vote today after agreeing to fund Ukraine along with he Demo's. The whole free world including Britain is in agreement with this funding. I feel it's impossible for someone in this day and age to be so out of touch on world affairs Art that you are. It makes you sound like a simpleton or worse.

As Art predicted the media are going after Farage and Reform. They've uncovered a Reform activist saying racist and vulgar things which will cost them votes. Most Reform voters won't want to be associated with such stuff, they want the party and its followers to appear as reasonable folk. 

Some may decry the media's probing, but the fact remains that Reform is attracting some undesirable supporters. I'm actually quite pleased that they're not standing in my constituency, it saves me a lot of cogitation as to what to do.
