Wow!!!! It's the loss of 38 seats for SNP that amazes me the most. Implications for SNP in Scotland?
It’s not surprising with the amount of controversy the party has experienced in the last few years. SNP started nosediving after Alex salmon’s tenure.

Sorry. You are being extremely hypocritical, and it’s not nice.

Just a few years ago, you saw a piece of land. In Nigeria . You wanted to buy for your mother. You had the money. The sellers wanted to sell. Your mother was happy to buy. You instructed your mother to hold fire and not buy. But wait for that same land to become a ‘distress sale’ so that the sellers will be forced to drop the price.

What does ‘distress sale’ mean?

You wanted the sellers’ children to be sent home from school for school fees, then the ‘distressed’ sellers will sell the land to you for peanuts.

You wanted the sellers to be in an accident, no money for hospital bills. Become distressed. Then sell the land to you for cheap, in their desperation.

That, my friend is not bang for buck. That, is Shylock and not nice, I dare say it’s wicked.


You even openly expressed happiness that Nigéria is in recession, because (by implication), desperate poor people will be forced to sell things on the cheap, so that you can lap it all up.


Yet, the same you will be pontificating and creating an image of uprightness.

I’m sorry. It’s not right. You can’t be a Shylock in Nigeria, and be a Lover of the poor in the UK. Can you?

I once tried to imagine the face/nature of the human being behind this moniker of Missjekyll. The nature of the unmarried horticulturist Gertrude Jekyll comes to mind, but that woman had too many positives compared to this one. The Missjekyll here stays more true to Jekyll and Hyde - a person with two very different sides to their personality, one good and the other evil (also obnoxious.)

It would have been very explosive sharing a physical room/space with the person behind the Missjekyll moniker though. To think up the kind of "shylockness," wickedness, "opportunisticness," "preying on the poorness," etc in that her (?) post, type it till the end, proof read it and still post it without conscience intervening somewhere along the line is just unbelievable! Man's inhumanity to man truly knows no bounds!!!

Oga keep your self-righteousness to yourself

Would you buy an asset now rather than later, if you expect prices to drop?

Is your problem the excitment the buyer feels at potentially snapping it up at a discount?

She is not the cause of the recession, why should she weep or decline the opportunity to buy an asset undervalued or at a again.

Very misplaced criticism. Rather than blame the government who has engineered factors that have eroded people's wealth, you are blaming the person picking up assets as a discount. This is the kind of reasoning that has kept nigeria poor and the leaders unaccountable

Rishi won his seat with a large majority.

Yes it matters because they've come close second in dozens of seats, a lot of them Labour. The message is that they are snapping at Labour's heels and could take over these seats if Labour falls out of favour with their voters. Also the personalities of the 4 MPs - Farage and Lee Anderson in particular - they are loud , rabble rousers and could cause a lot of discomfort and negative headlines for Labour.

British politics has changed, more volatile. The electorate has sent a strong message that they will no longer be taken for granted.

Lol, based on what? He allegedly pumped in over £100k of his own money and just about squeaked through. He's been disliked by the public ever since he was health secretary with the way (or perceived way) he dealt with junior doctors

Currently watching BBC and one of the analysts said the conservatives lost a lot of seats because of reform. People who would usually vote conservative voted reform.

Tory voters have felt betrayed since Party gate,failure to implement Brexit properly, Rishi stabbing Boris, increased migration, net zero....on and on

They've been waiting for this moment to give the Tories a bloody nose.

Most of the moderates/one nation are being cleared out. The right wingers (Suella, Kemi, Jenrick etc) have held their seats....it shows what direction the Tory party will be forced to pivot if they want to retain any remaining support.

Jacob Rees Mogg
Damian Green
Johnny Mercer
Tobias Ellwood
Penny Mordant (was a possible leadership contender)
Douglas Ross ( Scottish conservative leader)
Gillian Keegan
Liam Fox
Mark Harper
Michael Fabricant
Richard Drax

Also Jon Ashworth for Labour which was a shock result

Maybe not a formal alliance but they will feel they have to align with most of their values and policies to try to win back their defector voters.

So it will be Tory and Reform against Labour

Come on Justwise. You are more than this. I honestly think you are capable of a more nuanced assumption/thinking/point of view.

Your thought (on this matter) assumes that ALL Christians think the same (or should think the same).
Your submission seem to suggest that ALL Blaxk people think the same, or should think the same.

Your argument on this issue assumes that exactly the same thing matters to All Black people.

Even your own blood brother or sister, heck even your own identical twin does not like or dislike exactly 100% of the things you like or dislike.

I am a black woman, I will vote for Trump because I like position on abortion.

I am a Christian, I voted for Nigel Farage because I like his idea of increased threshold for taxation.

Those things matter to me, because I am me. Not because I am a Christian or a black woman.

I agree, reform took away a lot of share of conservative votes.

Also, so many people decided not to vote.

I just checked Lizz Truss's constituency. She won with about 35,000 votes in 2019 while Labour had just over 9,000 votes.

Labour has now gained close to 4000 more votes. Where are the other voters?
