To ask what you expect from Labour when/if they win the election?

Just curious. I’ll be voting for them reluctantly but I’m not really sure what can or will be done about the state of the country. It seems we’re skint so they’ll just have to tinker around the edges.

I don't like the Tories, but I'm likely to vote for them for the first time ever, just to try to keep Labour out!

Rachel Reeves isn't Gordon Brown, she has no truck with the poor or the vulnerable. She has made it clear that Labour is not the party for those on benefits. The Blair years aren't coming. Jesus, it that what people think?

I think you have rose coloured glasses! If Labour were that good ,the Tories wouldn’t have won!

Maybe don't vote for them then!

Why have you linked to that article that explains the note was light-hearted and part of a long tradition of similar notes, and then stated "It wasn't a joke?" Did you not read the article you linked to or are you so arrogant that you think you know better than the man who actually wrote but you aren't going to explain how you know?

People are ready for a change but if Labour are not going to sort the major issues out, they’ve had it! As someone else said, they’ll be blaming the Tories all the time!

Immigration is a hot potato and something certainly needs to be done but the right of centre parties have blown it out of all proportion IMO. Some might even say dog whistle politics.

All of the illegal migrants that came to the UK in 2023 would just about fill a third of Wembley stadium.

More predictions - wealth taxes and the adoption of TWAW and the concomitant removal of women's rights/ safeguarding for children.

I think it will still be a mess but hoping over time there will be gradual change for the better to public services. To pay a bit more tax. A bit less corruption and performative cruelty.

Tell that to someone who's been on the council waiting list for a house for years...

But the cost of accommodation etc is enormous, and unsustainable!

Women's rights and safeguarding for children will be the first to go...

I suspect they'll bankrupt the country again. That's what they do best. Promise, promise, promise. Spend, spend, spend. Then - surprise! There's no money left.

But people just hear "free childcare! More benefits!" and vote for them blindly. My local Labour council has completely bankrupted the area over the last few years, and as of yesterday they've just been voted in again.

Socialism sounds so lovely on paper, but in practice it just does not work.

This is exactly what I mean!

Blame the government for not building enough houses. They've had 14 years.

At first I thought this was an extremely depressing thread. However, then I realised that it's just a howl of anguish from the few remaining Tories after today's disastrous results and now I'm 😂😂😂😂😂. We've had 14 years of your shit and it's nearly over. Get used to it.

Can you answer the question?

Lol

Okay, what do you expect to look different in say, 2026? Let's have it.

I shall blame both!

I don’t want them to build more houses. We already have serious flooding and environmental issues due to a lack of green spaces.

Labour will not win this election - the tories will lose it. And poor old Keir has no more clue how to tackle the country’s problems than my cat does, and that will become clear very quickly. I think we might be on the brink of a real loss of faith in mainstream politics, which could be quite dangerous.

I dunno, but education will collapse with all the private influx from people who won't be able to afford fees any longer. Private students won't cope in the cesspits that are mainstream schools at the moment.

Private ND pupils will drop out of the education system because they can't access mainstream ed due to the violence, chaos and bullying. This will include online schools which are far more affordable for ordinary people.

Ahhh socialists are so pleasant and kind.

I'd like to know how Labour would build more houses with the trade labour gap as it currently is? Perhaps they could get all the small boats workforce to try their hand at being sparkies.

Build more social housing. Nationalise railways. Close tax loopholes. Windfall tax on utilities. Spend it on the above plus NHS and schools. Even Tory voters probably support most of that.
They will also support PR after they've been wiped out. Bring it. Single Transferable Vote. Not the opaque and dodgy list system.
