General Election - 4th July 2024

Ignore the top quote not sure how that has happened. It’s staggering how fast the Western society decline has and is happening.

Thank Thatcher and Reagan.

It'll be very interesting how Starmer manages the massive majority.
There'll be jobs for many but there'll also be plenty who will feel they've earned the right to a senior post.

The unions played a significant role putting a weak govt under even more pressure.
They'll be fine provided their striking members are rewarded.

Once upon-a-time a super majority (although we won't have seen anything on this scale before) would mean term after term, after term in office. But this is a different electorate.

The electorate have turned their back on the Tories, who won with an 80 seat majority last time out, so in five years time we'll start from scratch again.

The Tories will appoint a new leader (it could be anyone as it really does depend on who's left! Also think Sunak will lose his seat.) and work on solid policies.
It doesn't take much to turn the public as we've seen with this govt.

Overall Labour have managed this election expertly. They've kept away from controversial topics and said very little whilst the Tories continue to implode.
The hard part starts on Friday.

Thinking of doing that myself but bet I can’t sleep.

I particularly like:
“The NHS warns against drinking alcohol after taking the drug because it can induce a “deep sleep where you find it difficult to wake up”.

Then we need to become kinder, not more nasty.

Such a long list and so much not included in it because it’s not allowed in print

Does there need to be a hyphen in Rat Faced? I don't think so.

An utterly tragic day for this country tomorrow.

We have faced Covid and the incredible after effects an energy crisis all on top of the initial instability Brexit was always going to cause.

The country has got lazy. All this working from home bullshit. No cars on the road to town on a Friday, 11 million economically inactive all still using the NHS. It will get worse much much worse now.

Labour being in power is truly frightening for me.

Enjoy your victory though Comrades. All part of life’s rich tapestry.

Glad I have made my money and don’t need to start again.

Blair 's government was OK, for the first term or so, if you put aside the illegal wars. At least the economy grew, more than it has recently. As with all governments you just have to hope for the best.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Another reminder.

 

[youngbob]

No after that surely? They’ve got to collate the results and crunch the numbers. I don’t think they open their replica poll box until the polls close will they?

It's 10pm every time.
