Keir Starmer

I’m starting to think he will be lucky to last the week…

If he’s as bad as you say, how would him running the country help Manchester?

Like Manchester isn’t part of the country.

You sound like a scouser, mate. ‘Manc, not English’.

He’d be further away ? But you’re right he’d be shit and self serving as PM but better at bullshitting on telly

I'm not a particular fan of Farage, btw. I just think he's the best hope we've got.

If you think a lying, racist, shameless grifter is the best hope we've got then you need professional help.

Mahmood reported as putting her name to the list.

How about Graham Stringer for PM?

He likes telly

 

[Don Karleone]

Don't think we will, too many in the party are aware of what he is.

Seems like we're about to find out. They'll vote for him if it means keeping their jobs, imo.

If we can get growth moving, back to the good old days or 3% or 4% even, then everything changes. Government has more revenue to spend, public services get better, taxes can be cut. People can genuinely be better off for the first time in donkeys years.

So how do you get growth? By having a genuinely pro-business agenda. And Reform is run by business people who might actually have some clue, unlike the current set of clowns.

I'm loathe to enter the political match day thread, but this really needs to be questioned. "Business people" whose strategy was to isolate the country from the enormous market sat on it's doorstep with which it had had a successful relationship for 50 years? What chance do you think Farage has of signing a single trade deal or attracting any inward investment to the UK?

You'd think there would be swift action based on recent results

2029 General Election results:
Starmer "I have seen the results, i've heard the people's voices and despite our party winning only 110 seats and my own constituency ousting me, I am determined to remain on as Prime Minister, to finish the job they tasked me..."

When you say it every week, law of averages state that it’ll be right one one occasion.

When you vote against every party in power, you can never be wrong, apart from in referenda, when they cried a Mea culpa.

Professional protesters.

Which he’ll be able to get quickly, affordability and less chance of a brown/black shrink under our new public private NHS

Win Win

I read the thread. I don’t tend to reply. It’ll be fun to see who the next leader is and how shit you think it is.

It’s all you do.

It’s ok to call things wrong now and then.

You will be ok and you will get over it in time.

It is, but it’s also good to look at things positively too. It’s genuinely good for your mental health, rather than cynically calling everything shit.

This isn’t even about politics. I’ve never seen you post anything positive about anything.

I may misread it but I wonder how real the Green threat actually is? I mean they are actually clinically insane, and outside areas where the Immams coordinate the votes for them, I wonder how many other seats they might get in a GE where Polanski's clinical insanity is pulled to shreds by every media channel in every interview.

I think voting for you local Green councillor is a lot less "serious" than voting for a Green MP, and I think their vote collapses in a General Election. For now they are a protest vote. When its for real? Their vote disappears I think.

Obviously I disagree about your views on the greens but not many who voted green are gonna go to Reform or Tory. Those parties I mentioned(plaid as well) are a consortium of the left, whether the voter moves from party to party isnt of that much importance to the point.
Trying to be 'centre' isnt much use now, you need to go one way or the other. The middle, the risk averse have had their go and we are still talking about the same problems.

Reading both Reform and Green policies and deciding which one you agree with most or which scares you the least(neither list will happen in full) will tell you which side of the fence you morally and ideologically you sit on. And that is your answer.

There is no room for a bit of this a little bit of that, never goes anywhere, its fiddling around the edges, it not change, its not planning for the future.

You see what you want to see…

I leave you to your misery. Enjoy the next leader that’ll make you even more miserable in all likelihood.

Be careful what you wish for.
