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?

We will see ..
They are the biggest hypocrites

I don’t think so
Michelle Mone really got vordermans goat when she was jealous of her rich status
virtual signalling champagne socialists
read them up

I’m very afraid Thangam Debbonare is going to lose her seat. Carla Denyer is very impressive. It’s a huge shame they’re up against one another.

What??

Carol Vorderman is jealous of the corrupt, probably criminal, Michelle Mone?

That's the funniest thing I have read in a long time.

Your ds must be at least 40 if not older!!

Vorderman was angry about Mone ripping off the taxpayer, not jealous of her stolen wealth. I follow Vorderman on X so I know exactly what motivates the warrior queen.

Did I mention my son?

My understanding is they’re treating anything with less than 15,000 majority as under threat. My constituency had a Tory majority of about 13,000 at the last election and the polls are showing a coin toss between Tory and Lib Dem.

Well, you've used this anecdote about your ds a number of times.

And your point is? It still costs more than five times more for a UK citizen to do a Masters in EU countries now than it did before Brexit, regardless of the age of the student.

They had anything under 20,000 as a concern a few weeks back. That threshold has if anything probably increased further since. Which is a fairly staggering admission of failure on their part.

Eh? There was no election in 2020 and Jeremy Corbyn was no longer the leader of the Labour Party.

If you mean the 2019 election then every opinion poll two weeks before the vote predicted a Tory majority.

In 2017 most polls predicted a Tory majority and only YouGov predicted the Hung Parliament that we actually got.

There was never an election where the polls predicted a Corbyn win. I think you may have imagined this.

If Labour win it will be bye bye Britian!

I am not a fan of Conservatives either but if labour get in (which they will - then god help us). More tax hikes to middle class working families, flood gates will open even more to immigration to which we will be housing them in the new pledge to build more new houses in green belt areas!
They cannot be trusted and I think things will get worse without a doubt under Labour.

Lots of my friends are voting lib dem and green

you’d be a very lucky person if you had friends like mine

We’re doomed! Stop with the histrionics, Sunak’s doing quite enough of them this morning.

I've never owned property, have always been a renter. I'm 52. So you are way more privileged than me.

I have no issue with home ownership except my generation chose to not make them homes but investments. So we stuffed up for the youth not the government.

I'm interested why your 23 year old or any of his friends can't find work.

I found it amusing that you described your 40/50 year old son as a 'young person' that's all. The cynic in me thinks you changed your usual anecdote to fit your argument.

I didn’t. You really are struggling, aren’t you? Cheer yourself up, go and watch Sunak attempting to keep his petulance under control on Laura K.

Your final sentence shows that you know very few 23 year olds.

I didn't say he didn't work by the way.

I am also undecided and this is a genuine question. Why do people think the country will be better under Labour? KS doesn’t seem to have a clear view of the future and his policies are wishy washy. I am concerned about immigration and the toll it takes on our resources and there is talk of increasing university fees which means lower income families have less chance of their children going on to further education.

You used the anecdote last week!

Are you denying that it’s true @Clavinova? Maybe play the ball not the player?

Clav you really do need to stop thread trawling. Stick to what is said on this thread.

It's very clear to me that blossomwas referring to a different YP.

It is also not a disputable fact that study abroad has been rendered almost impossible for all but the most wealthy and that we are back to the times when the most privileged can build up the most experience to work their way into the elite jobs.

I live on the Welsh borders, and am impressed by how much more sensible the speed limits now are in England than in Wales. Whether or not a road is a main road, if it is residential there should be a 20mph, which contrasts with the residential street I live on that is derestricted.

Preferable to be robbed, shafted and lied to? They were laughing behind our backs whilst lining their pockets and those of their mates. Johnson didn’t give a shit about the covid situation. He just saw it as a chance for him and his cronies to get richer. His obscene wife treating herself to an owl lantern that cost £11,000 whilst people were forced to use food banks and kids weren’t allowed free school meals. All smacks of Marie Antoinette to me and look how that ended up
