Come On Uxbridge!

[diddlydo]

To all the Labour supporters in Uxbridge - make sure you get to the polls tomorrow and unseat Boris. What a spectacular coup that would be - heroes all of you.

Hear, hear!

//To all the Labour supporters in Uxbridge //

All two of them here... although that could be one ... or none. Great rally!

[diddlydo]

Naomi - you seem to be forgetting that there is a large student population with brains in Uxbridge.

[JimF]

I think anyone expecting the sort of unseatings we saw on that wonderful night in '97 is going to be sadly disappointed.

[naomi24]

diddly, and all members here. Talking of brains ....

[royfromaus]

You're better off using your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter accounts to get this message out.

I don't think there is a massive student population with brains and from Uxbridge using this site.

[THECORBYLOON]

There were more than 18,000 Labour supporters in the last General Election.

[Gromit]

The demographic of AB is not students or Labour voters.

I was just trying to wake Naomi from her slumbers to see what rubbish she'd spout this time!

[naomi24]

Ahhh, ^that's why she posted it. :o)

[Apc2604]

Being a student doesn't mean brains!

[naomi24]

diddlydo thinks it does. She's easily impressed though. She's voting Labour.

this is a site only about the UK - no sitting prime minister has lost his seat, but a few have who were PMs a few months before

world wide I thought Modi - Indian had managed it

[Mozz71]

Diddles, Boris wouldn't be anywhere near that seat if there was even a 1% chance of him not winning it.

[JimF]

I agree it's highly unlikely that Johnson will lose his seat tomorrow. It could happen, of course. At that point, I think, there would be three choices for the tories:

1) every outgoing PM is offered a seat in the Lords, so he could accept that and lead the party from there - highly unlikely

2) the Tories would simply elect a new leader from their MPs to become PM - possible

3) a Tory MP who won with a whopping majority is asked to fall on his sword, forcing a by-election in which Johnson would stand and almost certainly win - that's the one, I reckon.

make sure you get to the polls tomorrow and unseat Boris.

LOL, more chance of the pope getting married than Boris losing his seat.

[gness]

Hmmm.....tell that to Pope Adrian II, Tony.... ;-)

[tonyav]

He was 75 years old when he became pope in 867 though, gness.

[naomi24]

^who died over a thousand years ago. Moving on ...
