Good on Kemi!

It's Labour who are proposing mandatory digital id (I've seen nothing suggesting stepping back from the database: the u-turn on the ids themselves is a distraction) and the loss of jury trials. The biggest reductions in basic civil rights in my lifetime.

Labour who have cancelled elections.

And the destruction to our economy they're causing puts the UK in a vulnerable place: history tells us that.

Labour are far more of a risk than Reform.

Are you slut shaming?

A perfect role model for conservative Christian family values, might I add 😂

I’m surprised to hear that there’s tons or Reform voters on here considering Reform UK welcomed Bonnie Blue into the fold. Apparently Reform UK are not fussy and will take all the votes they can get: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/niXZxRW2cG8

Well ...it has. Unfortunately we can all read.

Yes. I got the suggestion that's what they were from the Spectator (I think. Perhaps their podcast. Or another reasonable provider) when it first came out. I retract that (for the moment). Although it may turn out to be a statement of fact in due course.

However I never said what Alexandra said about them and Keir Starmer. Which is a slur. Thats the difference. Read back to my posts.

Absolutely it would have made far more sense to reverse the bribe, than effectively passing the cost of the bribe onto the employees by switching for employee NI to employer NI.

Brilliant.
Kemi is doing an excellent job. She dealt with Jenrick beautifully. She is holding Labour to account and has widespread support from across the house to ban SM for under 16s, (Starmer is against this).
Kemi spoke at a protest against the Chinese mega embassy, as did representatives from Reform and the Lib Dems, and she has backed Starmer's stance on Greenland. She is the best party leader by far.

They could certainly have done better by reversing Hunt’s weird and unnecessary NI bribe reduction.

Good on her, I’d like to see her overtake all the male leaders.

That's what we are worried about. 3 more budgets of ever weird tax increases.

I think this country suffers a lot from the boiled frog syndrome of no one noticing gradual changes.

The impact of reform policy wouldn't even take welfare and immigration back to the time when Blair was in government. We spend twice as much on welfare now than we did when Blair was left office despite this following a decade of centre left policies. Reform aren't even proposing to go back to Blair levels of spend.

Reform would bring immigration back to a level consistent with what we saw under Blair before the Tories lost control.

Maybe Reform should brand themselves "The New New Labour (but without the illegal war mongering) Party".

The government doesn’t need to “get in”. It’s in and has another three and a half years in power. A lot can and will happen in that time.

No party is in clover. Kemi is improving. I do like her.

No need to apologise it’s insincere. Maybe stop reaching too.

On your other post, you do seem a bit wound up with these responses, but it’s more this -

I think Labour generally have a problem with tone and rhetoric and working against people is clearly not doing it for them.

Only 11% approve, you can’t get in when the majority are in a we can’t stand you situation.

Last line re Labour. Also look to More in Common on level of loathing in focus groups, below.

My sincere apologies. Your views so often seem to align with Farage's I thought you were a supporter. Especially given your defence of Eva Vlaardingerbroek on another thread.

Ha nice try as ik you read posts often that won’t work either. I have posted who I’d like, you can read again if you’ve forgotten.

I find it hilarious that ES thinks that sort of post will upset me!

They probably will and maybe your man Farage will be PM. That's democracy.

Nice deviation from what we were actually discussing. I can understand why you wanted to get off the subject.

If not even the most loyal on here want Labour then good luck to Starmer. I can’t say I care if that’s the case. The fewer the better.

@strawberrybubblegumiirc said Labour are the nasty party. That is increasingly felt by more each week. The constant combative stance isn’t working for them. Maybe they should try something else.

How do you know that’s what she wants? You make huge assumptions that anyone who disagrees with you is a dyed in the wool Labour voter. You do know there are three parties left of the Tories?

You do want Labour to stay in though, oh well maybe they’ll be out given the growing dislike from just about everyone.

I am not here to "help Labour". 🤣

I am here, like everyone else, to chew the fat on a rainy Sunday morning. Although obviously it might not be rainy for everyone.

You were the one who first mentioned rent boys.

I meant your post, and the constant ‘lying right winger’ posts below. It’s not helping Labour.

Starmer sets the scene on that and goes up against the public, being against people constantly won’t help and you can see the impact in the polls each week.
