It’s on the yellow sticker Sunak has won, this is where the media has a large say in who wins the GE

I tried to be fair and balanced and he clearly did? Yes come on here and everyone makes you think you are mad. Never changes!

watching Ed Davey on ITV now - getting sick of it tbh - I wouldn't expect Sunak to admit it but other leaders including Starmer should give interviews and say yeah we will restrict legal migration to I dunno say 100k, 50k, 200k but that means X number fewer nurses, X number fewer care sector recruits,X number fewer doctors, surgeons, scientists, X number fewer students with a commensurate reduction in the number of universities etc etc - just fucking make it clear what the anti-migrants want to happen to the UK although they are too thick to realise it.

A yellow ticker running across a newsfeed is going to determine the election? I don't think the general public, who've had 14 years of seeing the Tories true colours, are that fickle.

Irrespective of who "won" tonight's debate; Sunak could deliver an oratory as inspiring as the Gettysburg Address between now and the 4th, and the Tories will still be wiped out.

You gov poll must be pissed hey!

I thought that you'd like Starmer. As much as people will try to say differently, there is a rizla paper between them.

I’ve had loads of messages from various mates with widely differing views on the outcome of tonight. And their relative politics shone through in terms of their assessment of the performances. People see what they want to see.

And I’m no different.

It needs a radical re think. People are not having kids as they can’t afford them and can’t afford a home. Constant mass imitation is not the answer all the time. We have a huge shortage of houses and services. Not the time to debate it with you but next time I am in I will try to have a civil debate on it with you.

Our economy does have the feel of a Ponzi scheme.
