Who the F**K still thinks voting Tory is a good idea.

[beachcitygirl]

Just that really. Sociopathic Patel refusing visas. In a time where we need leadership & empathy & intelligence there's a ducking idiot at the helm & Rees~Mogg making a fortune with insider trading.
Who the hell will admit to being so sociopathically selffish & grabby to still vote Tory?

Apparently not Tamworth or Mid Beds 😂

I feel the same 🌹

Couldn’t agree more. They should’ve scrapped the pensions triple lock long ago. Then reduced UC right down so work does pay. Oh wait.

This.

Why were Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting campaigning in Tamworth last week if it's not one of Labour's top 300 target constituencies?

Which was known a year ago.

Say what you will about the British Constitution - it doesn't reward cowardice.

In answer to the OP @Clavinova does.

Yes, we are paying a Tory Tax

Oh dear - Biden has messed up again.
Trump and Starmer in a 'special relationship' perhaps?
Will he have to visit Trump in jail?

Careful Clav. None of us know how strong the bottom of that barrel is. Much as we josh, we'd hate to lose you.

Notice the narrative of "Surprise defeat". Almost as if this reporter was revived from cryostatis having missed the last 3 fucking years.

alternative explanation

Remember, in the high stakes game of poisoning the front page, there can still be room for humour. From some views this is top-class trolling and deserves a 😀chapeau

You're losing me now - I'm going out.

Yes, we are paying a Tory Tax - a financial price for their terrible governance and of the scale level of corruption.

Exactly @Tatumm

Don't go Clav. You are the only person we have that disproves the trope about right winders having no sense of humour.

If Keir Starmer has so many good ideas and a talented shadow cabinet, then why is he resurrecting the cabinet from the past to include Hilary Benn, Ed Milliband, Yvette Cooper etc. Not that there is anything wrong with them, but they formed part of a cabinet that lost an election. He has made sure Rachel Reeves is really his no. 2 whilst pretending AR is.

I hate threads by sneering, morally superior posters who believe they are so much better than the supposedly thick, ignorant, politically incorrect people who make up half of the British population. Is this not discriminatory. Did no-one vote Tory at all over the last few years? Of course they did.

Labour will win the election for one term. People will then panic about immigration, woke policies on gender issues, large scale building projects outside London without sufficient infrastructure in place. People do not like mass immigration of thousands of young men who they view with suspicion, unlike the op I guess.

She's likely on her way to see her brilliant NHS dentist that she had no trouble finding. Then off to pick her kids up from their modern, well maintained and funded (RAK free) schools. On the way she'll marvel at how pot hole free the roads are now and how affordable her mortgage is. Thank God for the Tories running the country and the economy so well.

I think the answer to the question in the thread title is

^A small percentage of those who voted for Brexit
^
That's the Tori's vote these days.

And due to common sense and demographics it's shrinking every day.

Indeed. The Tories are condemned - by their own glory chasing - to be forever "The Brexit Party". Which is richly ironic considering a majority of them in 2016 were opposed to it. However that's what happens when you sell your soul.

Luckily for Labour - although they did have a discount on their eternal salvation, the nation chose the Tories price. The rest is, as they say, history.

@ElsieMc Losing an election though doesn't necessarily mean they were idealess etc-. And I totally agree with the people he brought back-they are all smart cookies yet 'normal ' people compared to the current Tory frank show.

With regards to immigration- thing is what you say people won't like is exactly what the Tory's have been doing last 2 years and have had to do 'because' of Brexit. It's not 'illegal' immigration that's the huge biggie- it's the amount of legal migration they've allowed because they totally miscalculated the amount that EU workers contributed to the workforce and realised that many of them thought 'sod this' when they realised they were being made as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit.

Errrm, because it was a by-election?

Because the Tories' performance is so woeful that there is no such thing as a safe Tory majority, meaning that every Tory constituency becomes an attainable target?

Did the massive racist, hater of the NHS and Putin super fan, Nigel Farage say something about him being leader of the Tories by 2026?
So it might get worse.

He's said lots of things. Such as if Brexit was a disaster he'd fuck off forever.

Someone should gather them together into a handy red book with perforations.

And this is what tells me people like you are not from the UK or don’t care about the UK. You’d be happy to see it fail because your ‘team’ isn’t in charge. People will not ‘panic’ about ‘woke’ policies because the majority of people don’t care about these culture war issues no matter how much American think tanks want to push them here.

Interestingly, the Tory, Danny Kruger, said today that the winning strategy would be to focus more on transgender issues. He thinks people care more about this than the cost of living? Really? A year ago, I saw a news item on Sky from an American right wing pollster say that the biggest issue UK voters were concerned about today was ‘cancel culture’ Really? WTF! This is bollocks.

The UK is not the US. People are mainly ok with other types of people living near them. What people care about is being able to put food on the table. This American thing where people seem satisfied with living hand to mouth despite working 3 jobs, not being able to pay for healthcare and only getting 2 weeks annual leave a year as long as their leaders can openly scream about Muslims living next door doesn’t work here.

I’m a patriot, I love the UK, I want it to work, I want people to get on. I am 100% against people trying to push wedge issues which the majority don’t care about but which cause hurt and fear for minorities caught in the crosshairs. Look how many people Braverman has hurt but has it resulted in any electoral wins?

@ElsieMc Check out the blue line to see what has happened to "mass immigration" under the Tories since the Brexit bongs...

And yet the very same 'can't say anything these days' complainers about so called 'cancel culture' are the very same people who want to cancel the BBC because they don't like them.
