  • With Westminster still reeling from the prime minister's decision to call a general election on the 4 July, Beth, Jess and Ruth lift the curtain on what was going on in parliament as rumours started to swirl.
    Who decided to call an election now? Why did Rishi Sunak not have an umbrella? And what kind of campaign will the parties run over the next six weeks?
    Plus, a listener wants to know if her MP will still be working on her case during the election campaign.
    Email Beth, Jess, and Ruth at electoraldysfunction@sky.uk (sky.uk) , post on X to @BethRigby, or send a WhatsApp voice note on 07934 200 444.

    Of course Rishi is not afraid. Whatever the outcome, he floats back to his billionaire lifestyle whilst the UK continues to live with the mess the Tories have left it in.

      ▪︎ Starmer is very untrustworthy as per all polls. Every poll says voters will NEVER TRUST him.
      Starmer betrayed his political godfather Corbyn by banning him from Labour &
      betrayed Labours 300000 members/ momentum student army by dumping the £26B per yr Green Plan whilst the planet is burning &
      will betray Jews & UKEHR commission guilty verdict of racism will return as there are many Azar Ali type jew haters running to be MP's.
      He breaks promises a lot & gives no deep details
      nil big details
      none extensive details,
      so voters will distrust him until the cows come home.
      A synagogue was attacked in France last week.
      A Chicago woman rabbi was HARMED by a pro-Palestinian protester.
      When leaflet dropping starts & they see the star of David on the door, u know what the Labour muslim & racist marxist campaigners will do & it will be the front page in the newspapers every day.
      ●Sunak bowled a shane warne googly worldy ball to dismisd Farage, by calling snap surprise GE when he knew Farage wud be in USA on independence day July 4th with his true love, the Donald, who will make Nigel next ambassador to UK & give him a USA passport.
      Sunak also straight batted & blocked off Labour's deadliest fast bowling attacks from future Autumn Strikes by Drs Nurses Cops Teachers Trains Council Bin men etc.
      Labours expected majority of 200+ seats has thus been dramatically reduced to 2 seats as per the Maths Profs of the UKRGMPN.
      I won't vote for anyone as I'm a traditional Harold Wilson centrist, but a slim majority for Labour will hopefully stop the looming strikes & help nhs patients get treatments quicker.
      No more blood scandals.
      No more Lucy Letby serial baby killer scandals by woke lefty nurses please Labour.

      When Ruth Davidson was an MSP in Holyrood, she couldn't be bothered to hold constituency surgeries or respond to emails from her own constituents. She could be bothered to make as many media appearances as possible on shows like Bake Off and the like though.
      She's clearly very charismatic though, and that charisma alongside the Scottish Tories firmly opposing Indy Ref 2 while Labour were wishy washy on the issue, helped them make a revival in Scotland.

    It’s “traditional” for the announcement to be made on the steps of Downing Street, Sunak reportedly said. It’s also traditional that the anouncement is statesman-like, not a party political broadcast in speech form, full of gaslighting guff and petty sneering. For Rishi it’s about optics not tradition. It’s just a shame for him that he’s as bad at manging the optics as he is at everything else.

    This election is probably going to be ugly. The positive is that it's so obvious that the Labour Party are going to win that calmer hearts will be able to step back and think about how we're actually going to improve the country going forward, rather than leaning into the Jerry Springer brawl. That's a privilege the Americans are arguably lacking right now.

    Over here in the US the problem is our political parties are far too antagonistic towards one another. It seems in the UK they're too chummy, even when they criticize one another it's with a wink and a nudge. I think the answer is somewhere in the middle.
