Re: May Bank Holiday Weekend
Conservative Home. Goodbyeee these elections have only confirmed that the Conservatives are heading for the electoral equivalent of the Chicxulub asteroid impact (except this time one or two dinosaurs might survive). Ignore the vote shares, Holden’s Comical Ali routine, and Sunak’s desperate smiles.

Mr gilsey is feeling a bit discomfited, but they weren't very close and she'd been unwell for a while.
