We had the first and only tory flyer yesterday (paid postage). Had a huge pic of Starmer on it saying "Starmer needs you"... Then oddly in quite small text a load of made up gibberish of what he was going to do if elected. The flyer wasn't in tory colours and their only mention was a tiny mandatory logo in the bottom corner. Pretty appalling way to act at a general election and they deserve an almighty kicking alone just for their campaign, let alone their disastrous record.
Im not voting Labour. In my constituency its a 2 horse race between the Lib Dems and the Tories. If Labour or Green lend their votes to the Lib Dems then they win the seat, if all vote for the party they want to win the Tories will will. If it was Labour or Green in with a chance instead of the Lib Dems they would get my vote but it isnt. so only option to stop the Tories is Lib Dem
Liberal Democrat candidate in Hazel Grove apologises for 'offensive' Liverpool slur | ITV News Granada And that's sealed it. Voting for her twice now.
It's the fact that 20 (now 22) contribute to this forum. Got an idea who a few of them will be, but would like to know who else is racist.
Not a single Reform voter has had the nerve to come into comments and say so. No doubt they'll quote the "pile on" that would ensue. In answer to that if you've got reasonable, defensible arguments for voting Reform you shouldn't be afraid of stating them.
Interesting to read an article like this from a newspaper backing Labour in the GE. I take it, this all came out following the Diane Abbott wranglings. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...ism-report-martin-forde-starmer-b2564059.html
Not seen this one on Reform before, news reporting they have dipped in the polls now quite significantly. When parties say they employ vetting companies, I hope they kept the receipt. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c51y4gm467zo
I suspected a last minute small swing back to the tories and for that largely to come off the reform vote. One guy on sky news was interviewed who panned the tory record of cronyism and scandal. Then was asked how he'd vote and he stated he'd already voted tory! I can certainly imagine a world where the labour majority isn't as large as has been suggested, but its going to come down to how much the reform vote splits the tory vote... And, how disciplined the progressive vote is to get rid of seated tories. The more that peel to green, independent or galloways grim bunch from the labour vote and I could quite see labour struggling in what it thought were safe seats. Likewise, if there's not enough tactical voting for lib dem targets, tories may hang on given how huge their previous majorities were.
I had the privilege of meeting the Labour candidate for Penistone and Stocksbridge the other day with Marie Tidball and what an honest and genuine person she is, she is an invalid but that did not stop her from door-knocking and talking to everyone, there is no comparison been her and the Tory nutjob Miriam Cates, Cates's voting record in parliament speaks for its self.
Elche is 40mins away. Season ticket holder last season, just waiting to see when season tickets available for next season. Only 235€ for the whole season last year. Hopefully going to be same again. There seems to be quite a big UK following for Elche. I know a few from Torrevieja who arrange coach up for home games.
I know you meant nothing by it, but 'invalid' isn't a term we should use to describe someone with disability. Genuinely not having a go, just pointing out for future. https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...o-use-and-avoid-when-writing-about-disability
Aaaggghhhh!!! There's bad, really bad, corrupt, self-serving yes. But there's also genuine, concerned, honest and hard-working too.
It came out but it’s barely been covered in mainstream media. For whatever reason no one’s interested in racism in the Labour Party these days
