Labour voters - do you regret voting for them?

The releases were happening whoever came into power. It was that or not arresting new violent and sexual offenders at all.

Plenty that’s she’s written about the violent offenders being released is true.

I’m sure Labour started off saying no one in prison for violent crimes would be let out early; so we all went along with it. Then it turns out they are letting violent criminals out early. And we still have people defending this.

It’s pretty disgusting.

What an embarrassingly garbage post.

None of that you're saying stands up to any kind of scrutiny, I'm afraid.

They've had three months to try to turn around the mess made by 4 of the worst prime ministers in the history of this country.

Cupid stunt? That's fucking embarrassing.

...and the Tories have never taken any bad economic decisions?

Their "dash for growth" budget in 73 that lead to 25 per cent inflation?

Lawson's budget in 88 that led to huge inflation and massive mortgage rates?

Lamont's laughable bumbling and errors which led to us crashing out of the ERM in 92 during the Tories second huge recession of that period?

The massive interest rate hikes that were imposed to correct his errors.

And that's long before we get to Truss.

Not forgetting the billions spunked up the wall to their mates on PPE etc.

The Tories are good on the economy and finances you say?

You can't trust them. They fuck up all the time and funnily enough the only beneficiaries are their friends...

Do not ever vote Tory...

O you love a joke up there don't you? The irreparable damage has already occurred over the last 14 years. Perhaps you haven't noticed? To excoriate Labour for failing to fix it in a matter of weeks is irrational, to say the least, so can only assume you jest.

I've never voted Labour in my life and never will.(I haven't voted Conservative either for that matter) This particular government is abysmal 2 tier Kier and his cronies Robber Reeves and Cupid stunt Ang. All they do is blame the previous government for everything. The prisons emptied to make room for rioters just to make an example of them. It's been on the news today that they're already re offending one's sexualy assaulted someone. He'll be throwing murderers out next to chuck people in who've made sausage jokes on social media. Cut the winter fuel allowance so someone who misses out on pension credit by 20p loses out on £300 .Free glasses and free dental care .How is that right ? There's more to come I fear. Crime is getting out of hand. Immigration is totally out of hand. Anyone who thinks they're doing a good job needs their head testing. I live in a predominantly Labour area ex mining village the sort of place a turnip with a red tie on could stand for Labour and it would get in. But now more people around here are changing their tune. I don't think they'll get a 2nd term . But by then the damage will be irreparable.

@JandLandG Well, under Blair Labour sold UKs Gold reserves. That was definitely a bad decision.
Findings into Iraq war (Chlicot Report)...

How very dare you. As for me.

😂😂😂

I'm self employed, @OneLilacCrow and I've voted Labour all my life. I can well afford to contribute by paying my proper dues and I'm happy to do so because unlike the last government and their pals, I'm not a greedy, selfish parasite.

Lol no, not at all.

They've made a few missteps but a lot of the issues have arisen as a result of 14 years of Tory mismanagement. I'll be waiting until I can judge them on their own performance, thanks.

As for apologising? Have those who voted the Tories in apologised for that shitshow yet? And have those that voted for Brexit apologised for the mess that it has left us in? Thought not....

I'm not apologising for my vote - what stupid thing to say.

I'm happy with the WFA cuts, their response to the riots and the VAT being added to school fees. What would i need to apologise for?

That was a great KS conference speech, haters. He's not keen on you, either.

Hmmmm...why would you say that?

Why?

I think we all probably know - something to do with the Daily Mail or Daily Express, perhaps???

I'm probably a bit older than you and we had children in early 2000s; let me tell you that the infrastructure for families was non-existent in the UK before Blair.

We'd go to Germany or somewhere on hols and it was ace for families.

Surestart etc etc came in with Blair and things were transformed.

The schools and hospitals were dilapidated before Blair. He fixed them...somewhat.

You can have a discussion about how some of it was funded...but I don't think you referring to that, were you?

You don't know what a junior doctor is do you?

Just think, if the tories had just awarded inflationary pay rises while in power instead of real-terms pay cuts then we probably wouldn't have been in this situation today.

But, given you think that awarding restorative pay rises adw worse than the cash for access scandal, plebgate scandal, expenses scandal, windrush scandal, Dominic Cummings scandal, Elphicke, Roberts, Khan, Warburton, and Pincher sexual assault scandals, partygate scandal, free school meals scandal, Greensill scandal, Hancock scandal, Dories scandal, Paterson lobbying scandal, tractor porn scandal, Hester scandal and the election betting scandal, I'm not sure your moral compass is a particularly good barometer of right and wrong.

Really ? So all the corruption and bad choices of the previous government have paled into insignificance after a few months of labour ? Wow. Another Farage supporter eh ?

The self employed and the elderly will be paying
the price for a Labour government. Add to that anyone who can’t go on strike. Handing out massive pay rises to train drivers and junior doctors (the latter of whom will soon be senior doctors on £100000 a year) will be paid for by those with no economic power. How people can possibly think the previous government was worse is beyond my comprehension.

Oh have they given 36 billion to their mates?
Have they had a party and danced on peoples graves?
Have they trashed the NHS?
I could go All night with the sickening behaviour of the last lot.

She/he says that she is a reform voter in a previous thread. Not reet bright either.

That's a bit wick if it's true.😒 It's one thing to criticise the government but why lie about voting for them? This is an anonymous forum, if you can't be honest here, where's your integrity?

So did you vote Labour or Reform in the last election @MeadowL?

Of course I don't regret it. They have accomplished a lot of good stuff

Nope 😁

I'm glad they're doing something about wfa. The only way they can help people that need it most is by directing money to the right place. The pension increase is way more than the wfa and not all pensioners need it by any stretch.

No not for one minute
