Much as you may loath Piers Morgan, it's crucial to throw off that tribalism and support when it's appropriate. If nothing else it helps flush out any dim folk lurking in your circle.

The 1m young people thread is interesting, I wonder if posters mean their own children when wanting to cut wages for them.

Or throw out onto the streets those with two degrees (how much did that cost?)

I thought he didn't want to lead it.

My DS with his two degrees works 16 hours a week in Dunelm. It's not just the out of work that are an issue . It's also the highly qualified in low wage economy jobs. Like many YPs mentioned on that thread he has applied for 80 odd 'proper' jobs and never gets through the (A) sift. He isn't the prize catch some of these young grads no doubt are but we all expected better than a NMW job on limited hours. This of course has long term ramifications for him too.

If you think Gorton and Denton is the shires, think again.

No, I don't. That's why I said 'perhaps most especially'. But I don't think those voting green in G and D are ex Tories.

It's the applications that are timed such as civil service starting point. You have to be quick and answer 100%.

I beg to differ. There's no way to assess Tory voters in any constituency who are dissatisfied. Whether that be rural, shires or city.

Piggywaspushed · 26/02/2026 18:41

There are multiple polls? Lots of home counties constituencies became LD at the last election.

Piggywaspushed · 26/02/2026 18:42

The largest expected Green vote in G and D as far as I have seen is in a specific part of the constituency with a young demographic.

DuncinToffee · 26/02/2026 19:00

The Greens have been polling well with young people, unlike Reform.

No wonder Telegraph Tories are so emotional.

But young people are also Labour voting as well. Problem is, they don't vote in polling stations and a very few might do postal votes.
