General Election 2024

Sorry we don't do that here, stating the obvious about Reform might hurt some fragile fucking egos

Which seat prediction model do people think is the most robust?

Received a leaflet from Reform UK today

in a safe Labour seat, a constituency where three quarters of the population are non-white; over a third are Muslim and more than half are Asian - the fourth highest proportion of any constituency in England and Wales, according to ONS 2011 Census figures, also a large black population.

I suspect their campaign strategist forget that the white flight here happened three decades ago, and we are tipped to becoming the next coolest part of town, with the best transport links and access to green spaces

Tice really does seem to be the poster boy for How do you make a small fortune? Start with a large fortune.

coolest part of town, with the best transport links and access to green spaces

Where is this Eden?

Walthamstow?

Greens are running a very effective ground campaign with a local candidate. If only stopthetories.vote didn't have labour as their recommendation...

My leaflet came through yesterday. Pretty sure it's a proforma from hq

Next time I shall post the racists saying racist things and confessing to corruption without comment.

This is what the fuckers have resorted to.

It's an election and they're so pathetic they're trying to make people believe some sort of coup is taking place. This is both dangerous and delusional. If I didn't hate them before, I do now.

I got one today in one of the safest labour seats in the country. I don't think they're being too selective.

It is, no one apart from die hard Tories think of the financial crisis that started in 2008

I experienced this at first hand on Tuesday. I went for a few drinks with some people who I know through a shared interest in travel. There was a guy there who I hadn't met before, but others had, I think. A group conversation started around the election and this 'new' guy said several times that, if labour got in, they would 'raid' pensions, 'just like Brown did'. This was reiterated 3 or 4 times later.

Later, Truss came up in the conversation and he said that her plans weren't too radical, but that they'd been blocked by the Bank of England! I had to go to the bar just then, so I bought him a pint and sat down with another group further away! We moved on to another bar after that and the b****rd didn't offer me a drink in return!

The Bank of England blocked his round. Vote Truss.

Nah.. eclipsed by Highams Park and Leytonstone..

My borough hosted the Olympics, has its own airport, oh and two branch’s of the Lizzie Line..

It’s crass marketing.. shit message, just change candidate name

I would move back to the UK.

I still believe that Osborne should have borrowed and invested, which is what Obama did. Or did I get this wrong? I have no grasp of economics.

It's what we did in Oz, and we pretty much completely dodged the '09 recession.

I love this post for many reasons.

Another example of The Times going after Keir. This on the front page.

Bearing in mind this is a story about Starmer delaying support for Palestine and has been criticised by many Labour supporters for not doing enough on this issue, look at how they have portrayed him on this image. It's like the Corbyn in a "communist hat" image.

"Oh, we can't vote Labour they'll tax our pensions".

Pensions are taxed already aren’t they?

Yes, you pay tax on any income above your personal allowance. Once you reach state pension age, you no longer pay NI, unless you are self-employed.
