As I type, Rishis Sunak is outside number 10 announcing a general election on the 4th of July.
I ay announcing, more like struggling to be heard over the strains of Things will Only Get Better, the tune that Labour used in 1997. Someone with a sense of humour and a very loud speaker outside Downing Street was waiting to pounce.
So, the game is afoot. The Conservatives squandered an 80-seat majority and the confidence of the Red Wall and face political oblivion because of it.
Labour are certain to get it and to decimate our current levels of stability across the political sphere. They have form for tinkering where it's not needed just because.
Reform may get a seat or two, but the Right of politics is too fractured to put up anything like a challenge.
The scary thing will be the Muslim vote. You will see for the first time, the primacy of the Muslim vote for primarily religious reasons. No policy, no fairness, no representation of the non-Muslim voter.
That's a problem Labour will be bogged down with for the rest of this session of Parliament and it's a thing they are totally ill-equipped to handle.
Highs and lows ahead.
