    How? Genuine question, not having a go. I just haven't seen a single election forecast that even has them in double figures, so I'm curious about how you've got to 104. That would be seismic.

    I haven’t got a clue what to predict. Everyone seems to hate the Tories but I don’t hear much enthusiasm for Labour either.

    I’ve heard plenty of people saying they’re voting Reform but when push comes to shove most tend to vote Labour or Tory in a general election.

    I’ll go 391 with a low turnout.

    I reckon now that Reform will end up with 4 seats.

    Farage will be one of those in Clacton, his vote share will have gone up now the Labour candidates twitter history got unveiled and he tweeted about white mans tears being his favourite drink. Dear me. Again, where are these so called vetting systems for candidates.

    You do realise that the term "white man's tears" is a response to the constant racism he'd faced from said white men. He wasn't referring to your Average Joe - just those who'd racially abused him throughout his life.

    The same as Anthony Joshua the other year when he said don't shop in "their" shops. This was latched onto by the usual suspects as a racist slur, when in reality it was referring to the racists as "their".

    Numpty Nigel will still be voted in though I reckon. It'll be interesting when he actually has to do a day's work.

    Whatever he meant and as with any comment, he should be more careful with his words or add context to that effect. It's very easy to try and justify something after the event!

    More interestingly, how many Tory candidates are going to be crying in sports halls? :D

    ... I'll go with none, as you actually have to be a sentient being to cry.

    He only had to justify it when the Right Wing Grift latched onto it

    But yes, I agree with your general point about being careful.

    Isn't that the case for anyone that has said something that looks off though. You only have to scramble to justify it when someone picks you up on it.

    I'd bet the house on Reform being closer to 4 seats than 104.

    Do you understand how our elections work? Rightly or wrongly total vote % doesn’t matter. Lib dems could easily have 12% to reform’s 20% of the vote and Lib Dems could end up on 10x as many seats.

    Candidate for the Yorkshire Party in Sunaks constituency. His name is 'Rio Goldhammer'.

    Ha, he has to beat Sunak.
