Labour can't win

[verdantverdure]

Unless absolutely SHEDLOADS of people who voted Conservative in 2019 vote Labour this time.

That's right, isn't it?

"There was this in 1992. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that The Sun will do the same this week."

Starmer prosecuted Brooks over phoning hacking. She got off but the trial revealed a lot about their journalism.

Anything the Sun says will be meaningless and not to be trusted.

Jesus fucking Christ 🤦

I didn’t say it was ‘inside’ info

i was just recounting what I was told. No need for the snarky comment 🤷‍♀️

Again never said it was

just imparting what they said

fuck me there’s too many snarky people here tonight

😂😂😂😂😂😂. Funniest thing I’ve read all day

he wasn't in power - he was the opposition and Brenda seems to think that labour were in power

Yes. FFS what are you talking about MikeRafone???

Someone down the pub told me that Reform were going to win, be taken over by Gove and Cummings so that Russia can annexe the UK and Putin become our tsar.

I can read, its what you have written that is ambiguous

I work in health care and had a patient today who was spouting the hatred that the tories have enabled people to express.

has this thread been started by Conservative Central Office or whatever it calls itself? All I know is that while I am not especially impressed with Labour,another 5 years of Tory misrule will reduce this country to smouldering ruins. Our young people deserve better, better housing, better education, better life chances and a better future. Families deserve better, older people deserve better, I want to see a fairer society, this cannot happen under the current version of the Tory party. The rot and corruption is so deep and the intellect, values and talent pool is so shallow. They are burnt out and used up and need to be stopped. A good few years in the wilderness will give the ones who are left a chance to reflect on how they fell so far

My apologies. Sorry, I always thought it was 4. I wonder if I have very little measure of time spent in number 10 as there have been so many tories in and out over the years 😆 🤣

That poster is a troll.

Do you mean when loads of people got repossessed on the 1990s because mortgage interest rates went up to 15%?

My mum's friend got repossessed and had to come and live with us with her kids for a while. And it happened to two of our neighbours too.

Horrible times.

It was under John Major though. And he's a Conservative.

No it was Thatcher that screwed everyone over then.

But you’re correct in that the government of the time screwed them over.

Im sorry for you that it wasn’t Labour😂

If people continue voting for the tories, I don’t want to hear these people complaining about them should they end up in power again!

@verdantverdure just short of 60% of voters did not vote conservative last time and because the tories keep moving boundaries so they get more safe seats, I still expect a smattering of tiries in the HofC afyer the election. But Im hoping those MPs actually do work in their local cobsrituency so there is a clear reason who boneheads are still voting for a party that has sold this country to the dogs and made a laughing stock of us all.

Labour is the only opposition with the experience to dtart to steer this ship rather than leaving it to list in readiness for sinking like it currently is.

I hope we get a few more green MPs because Bridtols MP is brilliant.

Reform will get seats, maybe more than tories because Farage is making it an election about immigration - just as he did the Brexit referrendum.

The rest may increase seat numbers too, but a labour government is needed now.

We cannot afford to lose the labour parties biggest success, the NHS completely and we all know we've only got an NHs right now cos the service part is crappy.

So no we dont need loads of defectors, but we need defectors in every tory held seat and esp in safe and marginal seats.

But Labour are even less likely to sort this out. They are so ideologically driven they are incapable of devising workable solutions to real world issues.

Most people support ‘tax on education though’
Most people send their kids to state schools.

No. The polls were narrow. Kinnock could only dream of the massive lead Labour has now.

Why are some posters trying to rewrite history?

They will win on the basis they’re the big party that aren’t the tories. I’d argue they’re not winning it, the tories are simply losing it.

Have you asked her why? What does she hope will result from her vote?

My eldest is voting for the first time too.

He's voting tactically to try to stop a Tory from winning our seat and he has explained it in such depth it's like he invented tactical voting or something.

Surely you have seen the number of threads on the subject?

It is an outrage.

I'd vote for a party that promised to bring in intelligence testing at polling stations, but no party would ever take that risk.
