I literally just bought a bottle of cava on the way home from work

Let's go!

Meanwhile, three consecutive items on the Guardian's politics live feed read:

17.17 BST: Sunak confirms election to take place on 4 July
17.17 BST: Sunak is almost being drowned out by someone playing 'Things Can Only Get Better' very, very loudly in Whitehall.
17.18 BST: Sunak says the election will be a choice — who will take the right decisions to give the people a better future. (Sunak is getting drenched in the rain.)

[Only because it was the Guardian, at least two of these items had typos that I've corrected.]

You love to see it!

what is going on across the channel???

ETA: this is a rhetorical question, I have half an idea of what is going on, which is probably only the tip of the iceberg anyway

Hoping for some kind of improvements for y'all ❤️

It's important to stock up on the fizz now, it would be awful to miss out in the rush.

I'm overly amused that it's on July 4th... which also happens to be my wedding anniversary because that's the way our minds work! ;D

This is so fucking funny.

(I am taking my funny where I can get it, but it's very funny, okay?)

The cynical part of me wonders whether the threshold of letters for a vote of no confidence was coming up for being reached, and he's called the election to preempt that. But whatever the reason is, I'm just happy it's finally happening.

Me reading those headlines: didn’t those have typos in them ?

Oh, I see 😂 don’t make the guardian look better than they are, they made their bed those typos

Oh well you can always count on English weather I suppose! Fingers crossed it goes well. My partner also suggested booze either way.

(also an election on a weekday?? unnatural)
