😁 Yes, the scary woman is asking polite and benign questions relevant to the thread, quick hide.

Jesus, it's not like you were asked what your mother's maiden name is or the name of your first pet. Surely you could muster some courage to speak freely on a politics thread? What's the worst that could happen?

I won't be pressurised by you and your cronies to give any personal information away that I don't want to. Telling that you feel the need to know when anyone says Saint Kemi is anything but amazing.

Which is why I started that thread. MN wasn't exactly welcoming for posters who didn't support Labour.

I have my own thoughts on that one which I've shared with Mumsnet. It isn't a Farage/Reform/Tory hating forum - it's proud to be all inclusive. If you go against the grain, you get piled on. So the toe cringing Saint Kemi comment does not surprise me.

Cronies? That's rich given how many times posters are harangued over their support if it's not for Labour. If by cronies you mean a pack, well I guess that worm is turning.

I know! I remember the general elections where everyone said they were going to/had voted Labour, but conservatives won by a landslide. But if you told anyone you voted anything by Labour you got an earful. It was 'cool' to vote Labour. 'Quirky' to vote lib dem and 'you are the spawn of the devil' if you voted Tory.

It's like Brexit. Absolutely no one admits to voting leave as scared if getting moaned at. But more than half did!

Its not irrelevant that you won't say at all. My guess is that you are either a shy Labour or Green supporter. I understand why you wouldn't admit to that, but its a bit rich trying to put Kemi down when your preferred leader's polling is likely much worse.
We will all have to choose which of the leaders will be our next PM. I choose Kemi.

I suspect that Reform will make such a hash of local government that many people who voted for them will go back to the Tories. Former Labour supporters who voted Reform may well go back but I don't think they will if Burnham tacks Left as the backbenchers want him to. But if he doesn't then he will have the same problems that Starmer has had with them. I actually also think The Greens will crash and burn too. They are also held together by Gaza at the moment but they are delulu if they think the Muslim voters they courted think men can be women. Not to mention all the old environmentalists who see nothing left of the party they joined.

Exactly. And that is why Burnham may go for a quick GE if becomes leader. He knows that if he waits, conservatives will gain ground back from Reform, and he may also show himself as useless as Starmer. Risky game though, as we could end up with Reform.

As do you on my posts. It’s just a political party, the walls won’t cave in if you say who you vote for. You might not have any upper hand, in fact if it’s anyone other than Reform you’re likely lagging.
