Current Affairs UK General Election July

This is the worry.

I fear it is going to be a lot closer generally than the landslide some are predicting. Though I hope it is a landslide to Labour.

Reform will just be taking the vote share off the tories.

It will work to labours advantage.

I am not sure that the Brexit/border control mindset follows your line of thinking.

They could combine. Perhaps that's why Sunak's committing to some batsh!t policies, to show he's onboard with the loons.

Obviously its just a snapshot but the worry is what might be. People getting complacent thinking Labour have it in the bag or those putting the knife into Starmer could well assist with a truly terrible outcome for the country.

That’s only possible if reform win some seats.

At the moment they’re not on course to get any seats so they just take votes away from the tories.

Some sort of deal could be made before then to stand people down in certain constituencies but that seems unlikely.

Not really, if you want Labour to be a success then you have to hold them to a high standard.

Not at all. If you want to see how they govern you have to get them into power. Judge the standards then whilst recognising the environment. Proof is in the pudding and all.

It seems some are happy to feel righteous in the shadows.

but the tories are doing everything possible to get young people, who don't normally bother to vote, out to vote labour

….Starmer saying Abbott has NOT been barred.

You've been shouting down and gas-lighting any criticism of Starmer whilst in power of his own party and agenda for months now, why assume it will be completely different when he has even more power ?

 

[orchard]

….Starmer saying Abbott has NOT been barred.

From what ?

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Pete ? Yet another parallel.

You should have a read of this and the Labour thread.

Good to know that Starmer has your vote though.
