The Labour Party

[bluenova]

The phrase (as nicked off Tolmie) is;

'Tipping Point'.

Hopefully - although it is probably worth remembering that there are likely two years till the next election, and it's only just over two years since Starmer took over.

Just before he took over, YouGov had a 24 point lead for the Tories, and they had a 20+ point lead in more than a dozen polls around that time. Theresa May also had a poll lead in the 20s when she called the 2017 election, and a couple of weeks later Labour were thrashed in the local elections, yet she still managed to burn through that poll lead with just a couple of weeks of stupidity.

33 point lead for Labour with YouGov!

Their polls have been a bit erratic recently, and this may well be a big outlier, but holy fuck.

Well played Starmer - bringing Labour more central and having patience, intelligence and dignity was always the key

 

[Don Karleone]

Let's be honest. This has nothing to do with Starmer.

Now I know how Mike Gatting felt :-)

Absolutely nothing, said Corbyn over his bowl of gruel.

Not sure what Corbyn has to do with what I wrote tbh. If you think that lead would've happened without what Truss and Kwarteng have done recently, you're an idiot.

In the Labour Party thread, are you not inferring that Starmer is irrelevant to what the current situation is, being, what was it, 33 points ahead?

Thought my reply was quite amusing, apologies if you took the hump. One may have to consider Corbyn’s muesli next time.

She was nominated and seconded by right wing Labour MPs.

It’s unclear where she actually stands because she is a poor communicator, particularly because she doesn't realise the sound of her own voice and talks too loudly. From general experience of watching her, not this clip.

She wasn't serious for his questions anyway.

Tbh she always looks like she should be working in Greggs at Middleton

Clearly no-one thinks it has nothing to do with Truss, but Labour have been relentless in attacking when needed, and sitting back and keeping quiet when the time is right.

Let's be clear - Keir came in facing an 80 seat majority, and a PM that had been described as a greased piglet because no amount of scandal stuck to him. He's forced Boris out and taken the party from from 20+ down to 20+ up in the polls.

Coming to the conclusion that honesty is not the best policy in threads about the Labour party.

I think events have seen Boris out and the current poll ratings let's not get too giddy about Keir

Now I feel like Mike Gatting watching the replay.

You are Sir Keir and I claim my £5!

Where do you perceive Rees Mogg working?

Kwasi looks like the lanky computer hacker in Bad Boys.

Is there a Greggs in Midd these days? That’s it I’m moving back...

and absolutely fuck all to do with the incumbents tanking the economy........ How do you type this nonsense with a straight face?

Sure - but it was lies and sex scandals that got him in the end.

Yet if you look at his first year in office, there are plenty of lies (including to the Queen), and plenty of sex scandals including multiple ones involving him, and he was caught lying about Jennifer Arcuri - and he still won an 80 seat majority and took a 20+ point lead in the polls.

Absolutely no-one would argue that Starmer has single headedly turned things around, but to suggest it's nothing to do with him is just as ridiculous. The Tories thought they were bullet proof.

Good call with Kwasi:-) I see Jacob as more of a dickens character than a human with an actual job. He does make me laugh though.

Governments hang themselves great political opponents rousing the populace don't exist. Let's be honest here in a sea of govt dick heads it's not hard to make ground.

Joey Essex would no doubt have a double digit lead and Fred West would be looking at a coalition and the fucker is dead.

It's not ridiculous at all the tories are fucked because he got pissed while we followed the rules. They then fucked the economy which is worse than banging the nanny.
