Are you intending to vote in the local elections tomorrow?

[King Billy]

I reckon the despised regime's plan will be to keep Starmer in position until Burnham has chance to become an MP so he's ready to become PM.

But... Even if a current Labour MP could be persuaded to step aside, is there such a thing as a safe Labour seat that Burhman could step into?

Reform would rightly throw everything at a by-election against Burnham, it could all get very embarassing for him.

Labours problem is that the FPTP delivered them a huge majority because of the early splitting of the votes.

They offered no clear policies AND seen intent in saying one thing then doing something else.

And watch back to the speech Starmer made in Downing Street in July 24 - they have failed on most of the points and promises.

My school report for them is clueless and incompetent, failing to do home work before appointing people or announcing policies

Labour are a shell of their former self. Their leadership are dead men walking. Next GE will be a Reform landslide (if they join forces with Restore). Greens is a flash in the pan by low-intelligence individuals and deluded islamists. Lib Dems are propped up by fence sitters

The British didn't really want Labour, Socialism or Communism. We wanted to kick off against the corrupt, awful Tories and Reform wasn't yet established enough to take over.

The votes for the two grown-up parties were split, the Labour muppets sneaked through the middle, gaining power with 32% of the vote from 20% of the electorate. They were unpopular from day one, then their ridiculous behaviour has made things worse.

I assume these are the sour grapes that Liarflighter was talking about.

So they're all doomed to failure?

Oh, hang on a min'! These are local elections.
Are you suggesting that the electorate is so illiterate, they can't differentiate between local policies and national policies?

Better tell illiterate Starmer and his party then, their Local election broadcast was all about the Iran war

I thought it was his best decision of his premiership so far.

Will that fix the potholes we are talking Local elections, aren't we?
By the way the only party who could be bothered in my ward WON, labour won it previously with 62% of the vote

Sour grapes ?

Reality imho

Give us your views since the GE then

 

[noseall]

I think the recent revelation that the UK spends more on benefits than it raises in income tax has holed them below the water line

Dunner be daft.
Lol.

He keeps doing random stupid things. Eventually something was going to turn out right, just by probability.

Everything else has needed an embarassing u-turn or a cover-up.

Good job Income Tax is not the only government revenue stream.

 

[King Billy]

I'm glad you agree that not joining in with Israel and USA in the foolish foray of the Iran war, was the wisest decision.

Yes! What do you think you're proving or disproving?

I'm guessing you've got silly lefty ideas in your head, that everyone who isn't a communist must support Israel? There's absolutely no link between the two concepts.

 

[King Billy]

Yes! What do you think you're proving or disproving?

Why bother asking when you've already decided?

I'm guessing you've got silly lefty ideas in your head, that everyone who isn't a communist must support Israel? There's absolutely no link between the two concepts.

Even if your thoughts don't make much sense.

What is this supposed to mean:- "everyone who isn't a communist must support Israel?"
And what are these "two concepts."
Do you have any understanding of what you are writing?

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

You're one of the weird lefty Islamo-communist mob. You think everyone who disagrees with anything your cult leaders tell you to think must be against everything else you believe.

Outside of your Students' Union, the world isn't like that.

They might be but they certainly don’t have any ideas , leadership or credibility left

Yes but that will be countered by letting all the illegals work. You know, the highly educated professionals that have been smuggling themselves into the country. Once they start working, the tax take from them will more than balance out the growing benefits bill.

It makes complete sense to get these illegals working whilst letting our own sit on their backsides on long term benefits.
