    If we get enough people calling for a Brexit revote can we have that also? Of course we can’t because that doesn’t fit the right wing gammons agenda

    Every single one of them who sign it should have the right to future votes removed.

    Would it be wrong to quote the Brexiters…?
    “You lost, get over it.”

    How does it feel to have your every thought manipulated by an algorithm? I'm genuinely interested. Are you happy?

    I'm not happy. I would like to be happy. If you are happy, how did you get into this state? Did you have a lobotomy or something?

    I don't think I'd like something so radical, but, as I get older, I think I'd take happy and deluded over understanding stuff. What's the point in understanding stuff if it makes you miserable.

    Gotta be Farage fans surely?

    that said would be nice to be shut of Starmer he’s abhorrent, should be Burnham or someone who has the right values.

    Labour missed the chance of their best leader when they elected the wrong Millibrand brother for me.

    Its amazing that almost 5% of the electorate have no understanding of how the electoral system works in this country. The next election is likely to be sometime in May 2029. In the meantime, cry harder.

    I can’t stand Starmer. He’s the first Labour leader I haven’t voted for in a general election but my dislike for him is for completely different reasons to most of these right wingers.

    I can’t understand their grievances. They talk about immigrants coming in but that was happening daily under the Tories. It’s not as if Starmer’s made a load of hotels for immigrants only.

    And the cost of living & decline in public services was happening throughout their reign.

    "I would like there to be another General Election."

    Presumably until he/she gets a result they're happy with. Wouldn't it be nice if life worked like that? I'd start by replaying last year's play-off final. After that, the possibilities are endless.

    I didn’t realise you led the Labour Party. You kept that quiet.

    What's the point. Because democracy rules and we democratically voted labour to run this country.

    Apparently, multiple email addresses and non-UK residents are acceptable to sign. :D:D:D

    Still stand by the point that petitioning is a valid part of protest. No different to forging signatures on the old fashioned paper version I suppose!
