Will this be "Independence Day" from the Tories?
It's hard to come up with any good reason to have it so soon.
Easier to list the disadvantage. He has raced ahead to get in before any advantage can be salvaged or the election losses softened.
Precisely. He openly supported some truly vile people and then tried to present himself as some sort of benign social democrat. It was a sh*tshow from start to finish. At the time, I thought we could still stop Brexit but a large part of why it happened was Corbyn and his people sabotaging the Labour Remain campaign.
The only thing I would disagree with in your post is this "Muslim faction". He was propped up by young people who had just joined the party in large numbers. With the party membership so artificially swollen, there was no chance of getting rid of him until 2020.
…extremely surprised to see it being called so soon, but shur theyre in for a hiding anyway….
…then it ll probably just be a labour sh1t show…..
I'm starting to think holding the election on July 4th was just trolling his own party.
Since 1924 Ireland has had multiple "ruling" parties… including many coalition parties who were in government solely or largely due to the STV system.
…ah come on now, we all know ffg has ultimately been ruling the roost here since the beginning of the state, with other partners really only playing a supporting role…..
The candidate we all need.
Andrew Bridgen is easily the worst person in the House of Commons. He's a talking tumour who compared vaccination to the Holocaust.
I regret to inform you of the rather glaringly obviously problem with your thesis, that Bridgen is a complete pariah and knows less about what is going on in British government circles than the lowest administrative aide.
No.
Andrew Bridgen is a moron. The Conservatives - his party until he was kicked out for spreading conspiracy theories - are warning against him as a source of disinformation. He's also hugely corrupt.
If that is where you're getting your info from, I really think you should change.
Don't be so moronic.
Andrew Bridgen is a grifter.
He has a base of conspiratorial loons flocking to his every word. He says anything sensational now for the sake of it; to spread fear among his base.
Bridgen makes Mick Wallace look like Obama
July 3rd will be a slow news day because they can't discuss the election.
Then again a preliminary enquiry into the historical sexual abuse charges faced by the former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson will take place on July 3rd.
UK has no broadcast moratorium.

As Mr Farage said in a social media post on Thursday afternoon: “The bad news, Mr Sunak, is that I will be out around the country, fighting, campaigning, appearing on media, supporting [Reform UK leader] Richard Tice in every single way.”
How much money did they waste on all the Rwanda nonsense that will now never happen. The Rwandan Government must just laughing at the millions they got for going nothing.

Supporting in every way apart from actually getting involved.
Farage is the ultimate hurler on the ditch.
He probably can't face his eighth successive defeat in UK parliamentary elections.
North of £140m was mentioned earlier this year……..shocking policy and a waste of money.
I thought Arsenal Football Club at one stage might have changed their slogan from "visit Rwanda" to "visit, and stay in Rwanda"!
I still can't understand how people thought this was a serious idea.
It was clearly kite flying to distract from partygate that somehow grew legs and became government policy.
Hopefully now the media can stop the love in with him. He is a coward. And not only a coward but a coward that is turning his back on the UK and running off to earn money in the US.
The man should be ridiculed by every interviewer.
If Nigel Farage ran in the upcoming election, he would be accused of being a grifter or worse.
When he doesn't run, Farage is accused of being a coward.
As usual, people want to have it both ways.
It seems they were planning to oust him so Rishi went first. The tories are a complete mess at the moment and post-election will have to get their politics moving back towards the centre (Leadsom seemed to be aghast that her gravy train was being stopped more than anything else).
Sunak showing again he is down with the common man / woman.

So you agree he is a coward. Scared of being called a grifter, or worse.
Luckily real leaders can actually stand up for themselves. Starmer is consistently labelled a dull and worse yet he is standing.
So faced with the future of the country, he says himself that the tories are useless and Starmer is terrible, he put his own feelings first and gas run away to another country.
The irony of a man that hates immigration and decries foreigners influencing British politics is running off to try to influence another country's election is astounding.
Farage said he is not standing because he needs to concentrate on the US election which has "serious global significance"
So Farage is essentially saying a British general election does not have serious global significance. Odd for a country he claimed was more powerful than the entire EU and would have the world queuing up to do business with.
That's before you get into hypocrisy of him being an unelected foreigner telling other people how they should run their country.
