What I think will happen tomorrow

No, you're right, no matter. But I hate to see people taking credit for things that have been said before by other people. Just my way

Urmstongran

I predict a low turnout of anti-Boris posters on this thread today.

Stop being goady ?

So you think Labour and their cabinet don’t live rent free when in power, remember the criminals, jailed, in the Labour Party. Morley, Illsley, Onasanya, Shah, suspended for racist smears, and the biggest one of all Dennis MacShane. So pot kettle black comes to mind.

Cabinets live rent free? What are you talking about.Some cabinet posts (few) have official residences and all qualifying MPs are entitled to accommodation in London ( within financial limits)

Urmstongran -we agree about something!

I agree too. Don’t understand it but agree it’s the cause.

We’ve given up voting. No politician makes a difference. We don’t have democracy, we have the party/person best liked by the media. The only decent politician who could have been infuencial was castigated by the media and kicked out of the party on a bogus claim of anti-semitism, even though membership rocketed when he was leader. Instead we’ve got good old Boris secretly giving multi-million contacts to his cronies - while my two categories of PIP went up by 20p a week each, and my work pension by 11p a month!

Turnout is usually around 52%. I have been hearing that turnout is around 55% - so up slightly.

What an awful generalisation of Conservative voters, you are as bad as those who denigrate all Labour voters as uneducated, benefit scroungers.

To those who don't know who Shaun Baily is - you're missing nothing.

What are you referring to Lin52?

Really, such a generalisation again.

Which bit?

Alegrias1 as for your last sentence, I am not taking it personally and getting offended

I hoped to point out that continued all encompassing statements regarding far right is as futile as a Conservative calling out the looney left, (which I would respectfully point out I would never do)

Neither extreme position is helpful or constructive, and to continue to stereotype folks will get us (GN posters) or the UK anywhere.

Agree totally with what you are saying. Said similar myself, but as new on her forgot to quote, ?

I am just hoping that Starmer bought enough wallpaper whilst he was in John Lewis to paper over the cracks in the Labour party!

Lin52 Have you ever looked up who cut the police numbers in London?

Conservatives have won a labour seat of many many years. They have also upted their council seats. Says a lot does that.

What exactly do you think it says?

What kind of MP (of any political party) would improve the lives of the majority in Hartlepool?

Urmstongran Just disappointed in a fellow Manc.

Especially the glee in the tone.

Lin52

GG13 and I had a whole conversation about this later in the thread, where she agreed that she'd got the wrong end of the stick, and I had said nothing at all like this. I didn't mention Conservatives, and I was criticising the small number of people who are in fact, on the far right.

Especially the glee in the tone.

Well everyone knows that a weak opposition is SO good for democracy , don’t they ? ?

'Labour have become the vehicle for every woke crackpot movement in the country and as a result they no longer resonate with the more properly adjusted working classes who are less concerned about taking a knee than jobs, good schools and safe streets'.

Absolutely agree with this comment!

Interesting....

We can post facts about the educational levels in constituencies that voted for Brexit, and there are indignant GNers all over the place.

But its OK to suggest that people who support Labour are less "properly adjusted"?

Where I live there has been lots of problems with certain Labour Councillors and things they should and haven't done for the community (including covering up criminal activity). However last night my town took matters into their own hands and voted them both out (we are split into East & West wards) and voted two new Independents in. One of them was the Council Leader and they also lost three or four other seats in the borough. It doesn't pay to get too blase and ignore the wants of the electorate!

As someone newly relocated in Scotland, I'm rather hoping that the SNP won't "walk it" but wouldn't be at all surprised. Due to Covid restrictions and the fact that we only got a TV service yesterday (after having moved to the Highlands of Scotland on Feb 2nd), we haven't seen any TV debates or Party Political Broadcasts, so I read the manifestos of each party and made my choice from that! I would rather not specify the Candidate and Party I chose, but it was not the SNP.
