Only Reform (and the Greens) are being voted for because people are 'fed up with Labour and the Tories' and expecting something better. You don't think those voters will be disappointed when they realise that Reform councillors are not only just the same, but arguably worse?Only far right grifter politicians lie? Where have you been all your life:-)
You can just fuck off I loved both TISWAS and the Banana Splits.At 63 it feels like the country has extinguished Blue Peter and Magpie and replaced it with Tiswas and Banana Splitz , crazy, toxic time with lifelong labour voters voting for lord haw haw and impressionable optimists for a party in dreamland and with toxic internal diferences once closer to power.
Most retired people I know spend more time on social media than their kids these days.The "tiktok generation" being blamed now, when the two largest age groups of users of the app (18-24 & 25-34) are more likely to vote for the greens...

...and yet remain depressingly the sameI ignore these local elections! just because elections are in 3 years and it be back to the two main groups as always! Things change so so quickly in politics!
A massive part of Reform’s campaigning over the last few years was the disguised Afghan migration that saw thousands of migrants snuck into the country, a handful then went on to commit serious crimes.Unpopular view but genuinely have some sympathy for Starmer because a lot of it feels related to immigration issues. Him and Mahmood have actually passed legitmate legislation to stem the numbers but the horse has bolted. Some of the individuals who oversaw it all are now not only in opposition, but Reform itself.
Give over, his military career is incredible and he has my utmost respect and gratitude for that but he’s nowhere politically experienced enough to be prime minister.Alistair Karns for one.
Fair, but would you want them looking after your bins?You can just fuck off I loved both TISWAS and the Banana Splits.
This is very true, seen it first hand with parents and in-laws and also how it has massively changed their views. Mostly driven by fake news that I continuously have to debunk, which isn't very hard with a simple Internet search.Most retired people I know spend more time on social media than their kids these days.
Good point but the reality is this isn’t about bins, pot holes and dog shit. Reform is the notion that the demographics of the UK can be re-engineered to reduce and or get rid of Muslims. That’s the real bottom line.Fair, but would you want them looking after your bins?
Hmm I could give an extremely convincing argument for why selling off all the UKs assets for short term electorate bribes has not been particularly beneficial to our economy over the last 25 yearsOpinions Opinions and Opinions, I for one don’t see an answer, the country has spiralled downwards and no one party has the answer.You my have hated Maggie or loved her it does not really matter but at least she grabbed things by the balls and delivered rightly or wrongly I don’t see any of that in our current leaders
There will be the obvious inquest and hand-wringing in government over the weekend and no doubt another “reset”.
But most of these factors are largely beyond their immediate control.
This country and these election results would’ve been pretty much exactly the same had Sunak won. That general election was a poisoned chalice regardless.
People have had enough of Labour and the conservatives. Lots of Areas with both in charge have declined massively over the years.
Starmer is in trouble, nothing Chris Mason says makes it true or not true but if your a sitting Labour MP right now and want a job in a few years time you are considering your optionsQuite - favouring screeching and superficial coverage.
I'm looking forward to seeing how many time Chris Mason et al mention "Starmer in trouble". I assume that there is a polymarket on it.
I agree I’m my experience I would say a good 30% are racist but that’s enough to put Reform in government which is frightening

Weird response. I don’t tend to have enemies as I’m widely popular and have highly developed people skills. And most of my friends vote differently to me.People who vote differently to you, aren't your enemy.

Literally anyone other than BurnhamLike who?
how would labour get Burnham in? quite the conundrum.It could obviously be better, but there's no consensus replacement that will be better, and the next election is some time away. Those two things are in Starmer's favour.
Rayner, Milliband, Streeting - they all seem like very different stripes of people.
