General Election

[Iamacatslave]

Looks like July 4th.

Christ, have we gone back to 1943?

Yes, all of this.

Are they sticking to the green pledge? No.
Changing bedroom tax? No
Third child policy? No
Reimplement SureStarts? No
Improve benefits for those with disabilities? No can do.
Insulating the NHS from privatisation? No way, says Streeting, more privatisation and making staff work even longer will fix everything.
Build more houses? Yes, they say. Where are all the trades coming from? 🤷they say.

But you can have all the same shit with a side plate of gender woo! Yay!!!

They did for me, as a woman and a single parent my life was pretty hellish under the Tories, one of their targets for blame and stigmatisation was single mums, it wasn't pleasant. Of course Labour were far from perfect, but then who is? but I stopped feeling personally attacked by the government. Mine and my child's life really improved. When I look at the levels of child poverty now, the crumbling schools, the crisis in mental health care, the fact that we now seem to accept food banks as the norm, the way that even if people could find a dentist there is no way they can afford the treatment they need, the sickening corruption, the endless lies, the mishandling of Covid, on and on it goes. I personally cannot take another five years of the Tories

Actually round here it's Tory or Libdem. Labour don't get a look in.

Sorry but after 14years of the Tories crippling us what do you expect them to do???

There’s only so much money! Tories have fucked this country in the arse for 14 years and now you’re whining because Labour have nothing to work with. There’s a reason for that.

Give Labour 5 years and you’ll be wondering what you were moaning about.

What new outcome are you expecting from the same policies?

I live in a city with a massive Green vote.

And the only marginal constituency that swings between Labour/Lib Dem.

Ill be voting Labour.

That the hundreds of thousands of children in this country currently living below the poverty line, some in abject poverty will be able to experience life where yes their parents may be on the breadline, but they can afford food.

The policies right now are conservative because KS is making sure he wins.

Once he’s in I know things can only get better.

Haven’t seen this.
Who is telling people to do this ?

That will certainly be the case in Scotland as our schools break up at the end of June. Labour need to get Scottish seats if they are to gain an overall win

@SayithowitisYorkie my first thoughts exactly.

This indeed.

From a very Tory constituency, I expect the Tories to succeed here again, but with a much decreased majority. Nationally, I think it will be a Labour government, but not by a landslide. I don't dislike Sir Keir, or Rachel Reeves, or Wes Streeting. Equally, I cannot muster any enthusiasm for any party right now. I fully expect to be the ageing Boomer with a pension who goes under the bus to fund everything else.

Where on Earth did you see that? Who said?

The conservatives will still win...I'm not a Tory voter but I don't think Labour are good enough.

So you have a feeling that he might make policy changes that nobody has mentioned. Would you like to see that in a manifesto or is gut feel enough for you?

You seem to like her, but you can't even spell her name! How much have you actually read about her if you still think it's spelt Raynor?

I sincerely hope not!

RATE of inflation down; prices still increasing, just at a lower rate.

Good idea! I'm going to stay up, and gloat, I hope.

Well the Tories don’t care about anyone’s rights so there we are.

It's also quite worrying that you want a politician in to piss someone off, rather than to try and improve our society.

@Silvers11 It was in the Times today - a paper read by lots of center-right, traditionally loyal Conservative voting types who've been annoyed at this government for some time.

We can remember it, thanks; flawed, but infinitely more human than this money grabbing, immoral, lying, cheating, callous, cynical, shambolic, lazy, incestuous fleapit. How are you voting, by the way.........?!
