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.

Good idea. I'll write to Suank and see if I can be of assistance in his campaign to destroy the once great Conservative and Unionist party.

Well, this time next year, we can watch this car crash play out in real time. I wonder how many name changes we'll see by then?

Maybe it’ll be like post Covid and all the extreme crew drifted off or claimed they weren’t around at the time or whatever

Hopefully more than we’ve witnessed the past 14 years, shouldn’t be hard to beat.

That makes no sense, are you just saying words now?

Why is it okay to use his age, ethnicity and sex as ammunition against him?

I think it’s generally accepted today that coming from a very narrow social background can bring certain disadvantages - which Starmer has in abundance, let’s face it. It’s all a bit 1997 isn’t it

Write to Keir and see if you can earn some money, spam but get paid why not

It's just tawdry and bigoted. If he were black, female or disabled, you wouldn't dare.

Or like post-Cass where people like Ruth Hunt claim they didn’t do nuffin gov, to ruin children’s lives.

Stonewall’s ex-CEO is trying to dodge responsibility for her role in the ‘trans kids’ scandal.

No I wouldn’t make a point about that, you’re right, because those are groups historically under represented in positions of power. do you see the difference now?

Post Cass is interesting

Some doubling down, some pretending they never supported harming children

Yes. Like Wales - ignoring it altogether. Terrifying.

Irrelevant. You should take people on their individual merit, not throw insults at them because they are from any specific age, sex or ethnic group. It's a cheap and nasty shot.

Ah yes Wales the apparent blueprint for Labour according to Starmer

And this on Cass 😳

I'm worried this thread will end before we find out if I am correct about the West Mids, although Sky, ITV the BBC and the Labour party seem to disagree with me.

Well, you were sneering at people crying over school fees, so perhaps you’re not in a position to complain about others being spiteful. Care to address the point I raised about potential impact on kids with SN? Or is it too inconvenient?

I thought I did address it. I want things to be better for ALL children, not just those with SEND whose parents can afford to send them to private school. I believe the best way to achieve that is by voting Labour. That is because I am a teacher in a school in a deprived area and the situation has got steadily worse over the last decade and and is now utterly dire. We are looking at redundancies for support staff (who support SEND kids) because the budget has been squeezed to its limit. Labour won't have a magic wand but I believe they will address this. The Tories have caused it.

I know how much it sticks with you. I reckon that’s another few year’s worth of posts which is fun

So someone being from an under represented group and breaking into the club makes them more valid does it? What about Karteng? He was just brilliant wasn't he?

Do a new thread if you want though
