"It's great to be here in Gillingham. Last time, under a Labour government, Gillingham was in the same league as Manchester City, so that's a good place to start."

I hate the way they try and pretend to be normal with this sort of thing, next stop the pub for a pint.

Do you understand that inflation is cumulative?

or that when inflation goes down it does not mean prices go down?

Mortgages are at record levels for recent times (still) and inflation being down to 2.3% just means people are getting more broke more slowly.

Yes I did understand that of course I do. But inflation is a problem in all western countries. See my original post. No need for the over the top bolocks comment. The hole world is recovering from the impact of Covid, have you seen interest rates in the USA??

Bloke works at my place who’d never left Rochdale until the firm moved to Oldham!! No passport, can’t drive and walks everywhere unless he can scrounge a lift going his way, been here for 25 years and only thing missing is a banjo…

And I shit you not, still washes his clothes in the bath as won’t buy a washing machine!!

Unsurprisingly he’s single.

Some don’t want to hear it or will get the information from sources not supportive of his party. Either way, there are a lot of people who haven’t heard the full range of packages that Labour have announced and therefore can just say ‘Don’t know what they stand for’ and vote for anything other than them.

Labour have taken the middle ground which they will need for a successful election. Once in, they can look at the books and understand where they can prioritise. It’s not going to be easy though and there’s still some pain to come. But far less than what the Tories will wreak on us should they get another 5 years.
 
Moving quickly on the GE date is probably the only thing Sunak has got right. Other parties now scrambling around to get candidates in place, especially Reform who haven’t got the best track record during nominations. Tories will be hoping that Reform won’t be prepared in taking their ground, and that Labour won’t have their ‘plan’ ready to wipe them off the face of the country.

I’d be interested to know who is thinking of voting for them, and why?

Do the Tories have all their candidates ready? There’s loads not restanding.
