This country is doomed

[HappyFace2025]

While the vote in Gorton and Denton may be described as a 'protest' vote the strength of both the Greens and Reform performance is something to worry all of us not just Labour.

Oh dear we don't like pointing out your laughable silencing tactics do we.😂

These 'safeguards' will not 'be destroyed because Israel'.
Give your head a wobble 😡

lol lol..some random statistics and alot of inference. You may want to have another stab at GCSE maths.

I don't know any definition of communism that has open borders. It's really not communism. It's liberalism - there's nothing liberal about communism.

It's not uncommon for a government to do badly half way through a term of office.
The Greens had a strong message "punish Labour for Gaza" which was obviously popular.

You sound incredibly jealous of 22 due to his financial circumstance.

Is it not social democracy? A bit like the Scandinavian countries?

You’re a strange one aren’t you? Do tell me more.

Sadly come to the realisation that most people are generally stupid. They actually believe the privately educated, multi millionaire, ex metal trader actually care for the common man.

Open borders=huge increases in population=added pressure on water and sewage infrastructure, the road network, the amount of waste we produce, and most importantly the environment. The building of multiple new homes and developments (Labour have relaxed planning law as it is) has a terrible impact on the ecosystem. Green policy is contradictory and incoherent (and that's without getting into their even more crackpot cultural and gender policies).

I agree, I think Labour are doing as well as could be expected in the current climate I just think they need to be doing something more so that people stick with them for another term.

I don't understand how Gaza has been on the front page since 2023 because Israel, but a murderous regime slaughtered tens of thousands on the streets of Tehran recently, and it was crickets. Is being murdered at Israel's hands somehow worse than being murdered at the behest of the Ayatollah? Are we happy to studiously ignore Muslim deaths - including children - as long as they're being slaughtered by other Muslims? Or by anyone "not Israel"?

I am not at all happy to sit back and watch international law being dismantled, but between Trump/Putin/Xi and the smorgasbord of bad actors in the ME, it's rapidly reaching the point where it won't help us anyway.

Yes, true. It'll be something of a jolt, no bad thing.

Sure but the UK is on its way to becoming the Islamic Republic of Iran 🤣 It's not me who needs 'a wobble' here.

Yes WhiteBait...interesting username.

Losing a 13,000 majority is going to bite, and coming third. But it’s the next elections in May that will be another test. I don’t think that’s why the Greens won though.

Goodness! As a chartered tax adviser it is infuriating how many people such as you spout such absolute nonsense! People who evade tax are main small and medium size businesses and sole traders. Even if they all paid up our country would still be in a shit state, because we spend too much, and we’ve borrowed too much.

Reform and Green are both popular parties because they have manifestos that make farcical promises that are totally unaffordable. Theyre promising the moon. Polanski actually believes Modern Monetary Theory is a good idea! What an ignorant wanker.

If either Reform or get into power it would be a total financial meltdown. With Greens you get the bonus of rampant antisemitism and misogyny, with Reform you get racism. Nice choice!

This, and if there is any truth to the family voting rumours, it’s even worse.

Agree with much of what you've said, don't understand the misogyny comment with greens.

Yes, it'll certainly bite. The Greens were prepared to use Gaza, a sensitive point, perhaps Labour need to reflect on getting their message across. In a GE, I think other Green policies may not be so popular with the electorate.

Polanski was interviews in Radio 4 this morning and wouldn’t give straight answers to some reasonable questions; it’s not good.

There are so many wacky things they have come out with you can take your pick. Quite happy to quote you a few if you can’t be bothered to read up on it yourself though. Basically they are a party of useful idiots. They may as well rename themselves the Gaza party.

How? As I said, weirdo.

Yes, I found his responses very disappointing. As I said he made no criticism of Reform, but seemed very focussed on the errors of Labour.
