1. That would mean a drop to 173, which is just 29 less than Labour got in 2019. Very possible.

   Having said that, given how many are standing down voluntarily its less likely.

2. So 90 odd have stood down out of 360. So a loss of 135 seats if it is half of the rest.

   I think it will be less than 225 seats the Tories get.

3. I’d have sympathy if they treated the P&O workers with respect or didn’t lie or didn’t cut the redundancy entitlement days. Bye bye.

4. They deserve it for being socialist and not conservatives

5. It’s unusual for a news organisation such as Yahoo to publish good news. They normally focus on the bad.

6. The rats are leaving the ship before the ignominy of being kicked out. I pity the poor bloody infantry they send it to stand for inevitable defeat

7. That’s unacceptable. We demand that they *ALL* lose their jobs.

8. They probably all have jobs outside parliament anyway

9. It’s just their inconvenient side hustle, they’ll still have their main jobs.

10. I hear we need a lot of fruit and veg picked and packed, they’ll be fine

11. Can they take this selfish, self-serving narrow minded bigot fucking traitor with them?

12. We just need to get rid of the Lords and then they no longer have that unjust safety net.

13. So a lot of Tory former MPs getting moved to the Lords in the PMs Exit Honours then?

14. > “I understand the anger towards Sunak, who has damaged the party almost beyond repair and all but guaranteed the majority of his MPs will lose their job next month.”

    I hate Sunak, but let’s not pretend Johnson and Truss are faultless either. The three of them together have destroyed the Conservative Party. Which may be the one achievement they can boast about.

15. Why is there an election now when Rishi can have it by Jan ?

16. I don’t wish to depress anyone. But I know a few switherers who weren’t going to vote conservative who now will because of National Service. “Law and order that’s what we need. Those kids on top of the bus shelter the other day. I blame the parents. Send them into the army”.

    I didn’t point out to this 1944 born lady that her own son, when a teenager, had smashed a McDonalds plate glass window and been locked up for being caught with a bag of Valium. Because that would upset the “boys will be boys” narrative in her tiny mind.

    Any poll add 2-3% for liars who say they won’t vote conservative but who actually will.

17. Funnily enough if it happens then the thumbnail face will be what I’ll look like too

18. While fuckwits like this exist, some will keep their seats… https://youtu.be/aeslnRe1eGk

    The video is an on street interview of people on their way to a food bank who are grateful that the Tories gave brought about so many food banks, since Labour didn’t care enough to do so….

19. > The former climate minister, a staunch backer of Boris Johnson, suggested on Monday that the state of the Conservative Party was the fault of its MPs who forced Mr Johnson’s resignation in July 2022.

    😂 Yeah it was the _removal_ of Boris Johnson that’s responsible for the naked corruption.

20. And every one who works in an office in the next 5 years thanks to AI. 🤖

21. Never been happier at the prospect of a round of job cuts.

22. Cmon whats the bung when they do? Severance pay Great pension plus ??? Do tell

23. Does this make him some kind of political genius then? Honestly.
