To wonder if people prefer the last government to this one?

I wish they were more left wing and I don’t agree with some of the things they do but I’ve seen my local town get money spent on it, I now have an nhs dentist and I’m on a four month waiting list for a joint replacement with the nhs. We live in an area which is one of the most deprived in the U.K. so things are definitely going in the right direction l

BBC news is headlining Starmer's job under threat. I fear whoever comes next will be worse.

BBB - bring boris back!

Sorry, who exactly was a member of the fascist party at university? Universities don’t tend to allow fascist parties (and conservatism is not fascism).

Yep. I will never understand how easily people overlook and forget this. I will never forget the absolute immorality with which the Tories acted during COVID - they showed extremely clearly how they viewed the general public, with utter contempt and they wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. People died alone and terrified, while they did whatever they liked and laughed all the way to the bank. How anyone can vote for them is astounding.

Yes previous government were better Rishi should have had a chance.

Well so far it doesn’t see any better.

I can’t say Brexit is a Tory thing really we the people were simply offered a vote on it. Those who voted triggered it.

Would I vote for Labour at the next election not a chance in hell.

Though it’s all just pigs wearing a different colour rosette these days.

This government is exactly the same as the last government, just slightly more incompetent

No.

Have no regrets over voting Labour the previous 14 years have been so damaging to the country and we are in a place that will take years to recover. Brexit was promised by the Tories as an election pledge (but all MP’s that supported having a referendum are to hold the blame ffs what were they thinking) and the cuts to public services was shameful while the rich have been allowed to get richer

But people’s memories can be short when it comes to politics, the Tories will certainly win back support though I would rather they gained if Reform loses support and the majority of people have little interest in politics until elections and that’s when leadership and a good campaign can make such a difference

Labour have to improve their connection to the public to stay in power not just improve the economic performance

I think they're all as bad as each other

I like them They're sensible, addressing the big issues of the country, decent, not trying to grab headlines with unverified dramatic claims. They're pragmatic and looking at long term solutions.
They know what they're doing, work hard and don't spend their time pandering to the tabloids.

I hope we never see Reform up there because it will be an absolute sh*t show with all of them running like headless chickens, infighting, blaming everyone for their shortcomings, not getting anything done properly

The Tories ? Nah...

This one is fine. It feels like the country is run by sensible grown-ups . It hasn't been for years.

@malificent7 There was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the EU. The electorate decided, not the Tory government. Local roads are dealt with by local not centralised government. Its great you are engaging in politics, but you seem to lack understanding of how the system actually works at national, regional and local level.

The last government gave us brevit following a democratic vote . The public voted for Brexit . It didn’t give us what was promised . Rather like this Labour Government.

It is because they were happy to let poor people suffer via tax cuts but now it might affect them..oh no. 😳

The UK is now in such dire straits economically (due to mismanagement by previous governments), it's concerning what measures the current government might implement at the drop of a hat to claw back some funds.

This. And I fear it’s going to be people on middle incomes like myself who will be targeted and struggle the most from any tax rises. I can barely afford to pay my bills as it is.

Yes, I find my vote gets less and less discerning each time an election rolls around, as I think all parties are pretty similar and shit.

Yep, if I could vote tomorrow it wouldn t be Labour. In fact I will never vote for them again

I didn't vote Labour last election but wasn't that sorry they won. I thought they might have some bright ideas after 14 years in opposition, would be good to have a fresh start etc. Now I long for Rishi.

Labour is shit.
Tories were a bucket load of shit.
Reform are all the shit in the world.

Agree with this.

Does anyone remember the covid threads where MNetters wanted Furlough to ladt longer and for society to stay cllsed and anyone who pointed out the consequences was accused of killing grannies.

I don't know if I prefer the last government, but I do wish we could turn back the clock.

It feels pretty grim as a working person, with our apparently "broad shoulders" that can prop up the entire nation (and I'm sure feels grim for other groups too).

I wonder if Labour have considered bringing in a tax on the air we breathe....

I agree op, but the responses will be filled with misinformation, straw men, distraction and personal abuse, alas.

I have always been a conservative voter and think that Rishi Sunak could have been a good PM but the rot had already set in. I think Labour are finding out how hard it is to govern and how easy opposition is.

We have reached a stage whereby people vote against a party rather than for hence the rise of Reform.
