General Election - 4th July 2024

[BrianW]

we are essentially going back to into the Eu in all but name.

Hooray! At last, a reason to vote Labour apart from them being 'not Tory'. God be praised.

Spoke to a senior Tory today.

Educated lawyer and advisor.

His opinion.

Capital gains tax is going to go up to 45 pecent. A matter of when but will not be long.

The unions are in Raynors ear like you would not believe and we are essentially going back to into the Eu in all but name.

Labours spin in 6 months will be things are far worse than we thought and then the tax rises will start.

Positive is that there are some huge infrastructure projects planned - interestingly funded by the private sector. Pfi style almost. Starmer meets Blair once a month and we will see some similarities.

He actually spoke highly of the soon to be chancellor but said the Labour Party will imlode in much the same way the Tory’s have as there will be a battle between the extreme left and centrists. Largely typed this as I want to see what comes true of it in a couple of years time.

It sounds like the Telegraph's version of a 'scary Labour future'.

Where it totally falls apart is the implosion and battle with the extreme left. There just isn't an extreme left with the power to fight.

There will be about 15-20 Campaign Group MPs left after this election, and most of those have been towing the line. I think we've seen enough MPs lose the whip in all parties over the last few years, for it to have changed the game in terms of dissent.

Why does it matter where the interview was conducted? No relevance whatsoever.

No relevance whatsoever to what?

 

[hilts]

Tories have no one to blame but themselves. Public now seen through them and have had enough

Fool me once shame on you
Fool me for a decade and God I'm sooooooo thick:-)

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Tory speaking Tory to once again scare the electorate instead of pushing positives of their party.

Vote Tory, get Shit!

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Brian Cox succinctly puts why we are where we are.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He did an interview when he explained why scientifically, things can only get worse as we carry on.

Can’t find it, but it was pretty funny.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Tories going for Starmer is a mate of Putin's line.

They really have no self awareness of former PMs drinking with FSB agents and allowing an oligarch into the house of lords.

They'd have done better attacking Führage for that along with his pole smoking of Trump and Bannon.

 

[East Level 2]

That’s insane. Given where we were in 2019.

It becomes slightly less insane when you remember Johnson, Truss and Sunak.
