This thread has been jogging along quite nicely without insults and then guess what and oh so predictably - oh well - we shall overcome😄😄😄.

Another thick Labour voter here. Not everyone cares just about themselves. I’d willingly pay more tax on my pension to ensure decent public services for all.

I do notice the more desperate Tory supporters become, the more they resort to insults. Nicenanny why don’t you tell us about all the good things 14 years of Tory have done for the country instead of just calling Labour voters thick?

I’m thick too and proud to be so.

But not so thick as to understand what a danger Farage is to the the U.K. as are other voters beginning to leave reform in big numbers after his mouth let him down over Russia and Ukraine.

His stançe on this has been around since Ukraine was invaded. Nothing new here. As a point NATO expanded, when it said it wouldnt. Just pointing out facts before WW2 snouts me down.

Must be another thick Labour voter then if he thinks under Starmer/Labour he's going to get an increase in his pension, he'll be worse off 😂😂😂

I’m so thick I believe Labour will aim to improve our public services. I’d pay an amount out of my pension to support a better life for all of us,

According to AC and RC - voters, particularly women are turning away from Farage. Reason? His attitude to Ukraine and Russia.

North Islington.

Labour 14 points ahead of Corbyn.

I hope it doesn’t split the vote.

It is a real meltdown isn't it?
At least if Labour does win, the next morning the Tories everywhere will be saying; it is the will of the people / we lost we will get over it / we will suck it up etc. etc.
Won't they?
😂😂😂

It could be worse Mamie. Think of all the demonstrators and protestors after Macron won!

Indeed. 😂
I think we are seeing peak "performative miserabilism" in France at the moment.
The popular sentiment seems to be that everything in France is wrong, but it is still much better than anywhere else. 🤔

Popular sentiment in the U.K. is that everything is wrong, not likely to get better and worse than everywhere else😀

The nearer i get to the election, the more jittery I get😬

Best price Labour to win is 1/50 ( going out to 1/100). Going to check on a regular basis to reassure myself it’s still going well.

I don’t think his supporters understand irony. This is a party that includes Anne Widdecombe for one thing. Isn’t that enough to set alarm bells ringing.

So Labour still ahead in the polls by a mile but reform and Tories neck and neck.

I don’t think it is anyone’s interest except the racists and headbangers to encourage the vote to go to reform, because looking ahead it is clear what May happen. It is bad enough if the Tory swing even more to the right with their reduced numbers, but if this happens and Farage is in parliament it is a dead cert that he will be incorporated into the Tory party.

We are then looking at a Le Pen type party.

How utterly ironic that Churchills party who helped defeat fascism, is looking in the danger of turning into the very thing he most hated.

If Labour are elected, it will be because people have voted for them, and those who did not vote for them or not vote at all will of course accept the they are to form the next Government.

That’s what happens in a democratic country like the U.K.

In the same spirit, here is Simon McCoy interviewing Count Binface

It doesn’t need a Spotify account to listen to, but it’s obviously also available on your preferred podcast platform.

Apologies for how grubby this is but it’s been blu tack’d to the shelf above my computer for many years and is much loved and revered. I assume it was in The Observer which was the only newspaper I had back in the day. I love many things about my country and its people but I think the Loonies are up there near the top in wonderfulness!

I have been hugely amused watching the Telegraph spiral downward into increasingly random nonsense.

Yesterday’s delight was ‘Brace Yourself For Sir Keir’s War on Joy’.

I continue to try to be entertained rather than stunned at the number of posters expressing horror at the idea of a Labour govt. you’d think the country was in terrific shape that only the tories, or even crazier, Reform could maintain

I love the looniest bits of an election.

I am tbh a bit disappointed (well in one way) because I really did think that there would be more movement in the polls than there has been.

I suppose there is still time.

And I suppose that they could be totally wrong!

They do seem to be frightening the right wing media though with all their Armageddon warnings.

Todays trackers are mostly exactly the same. You Gov does have a down tick for both labour and Tory, but the gap remains the same. The others are recording no change at about 40% and 20% although the Tories are definitely under threat from friend of Russia - Farage.

Brilliant Casdon🤣🤣🤣
