General Election - 4th July 2024

[The blue phantom]

Hardly a surprise but Faiza Shaheen is standing as an independent.

More than any other MP I'm praying she wins after what Labour have put her through.

Social media wanted Clinton, Corbyn, Remain… It got none of them.

Starmer was very poor last night. I think if Boris had replaced Cameron and then Sunak had replaced Boris then the election would be far closer. The Tories only have themselves to blame with the absolute disaster that was Liz Truss.

Labour will form the next government. Starmer will last for a short period and then either Burnham or Khan will replace him.

Maybe in echo chamber of your algorithm that might be the case. Everything I saw on FB at the time was pro trump,pro leave and pro Johnson it was insane. FB allowed blatant misinformation to spread like wildfire. My auntie was spamming pro leave stuff whilst living in Cyprus it was insane, never once mentioned the EU or problems being in it until social media convinced her it was bad for us.

And the Trump stuff was just as powerful, it was more the anti Clinton stuff than pro Trump stuff, had some of us going down mad rabbit holes without realising!

Facebook is hardly latest social media. Twitter pre-Elon was very left leaning certainly. Look at this place too. Far more vocal left wingers.

You're literally talking about events that happened in 2016, course it has changed since ffs.

And Twitter seemed left wing pre Elon because they banned racists and dangerous liars.

Yet all I ever saw was statuses from people disgusted that we were Brexiting etc.

You're making bold claims social media wanted the outcomes you saw on your feed, when it's been well documented Cambridge Analytica set out to do the complete opposite and helped influence both Brexit and Trump.

So it looks like Sunack was lying over the Labour £2000 tax rise claim. Jeeze did he not think people would check the source. Big own goal imo.

 

[bluethrunthru]

so they lie about Labour tax plans and private schools adjusting the results to fit their false narrative. Is anybody surprised that this iteration of Tories are such liars?

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Tories are Liars.
