In a desperate attempt to reduce Labour’s influence, the Times is reporting that Tories are encouraging the PM to go after Starmer personally, with a smear campaign. It smacks of 13 year old bullies trying to put down the popular kid or as its known in America, Trump techniques. Would it encourage you to change your vote? After all Boris Johnson tried it!

I dislike Starmer as he was head of the CPS when many allegations about Jimmy Saville were made and ignored. He was challenged about this in parliament by Boris. Instead of apologising and saying they got it wrong with hindsight- which I would have accepted- he denied it was nothing to do with him and up to another department. I won't ever vote Labour while he's part of it.
Rishi is very close to being a dictator imo as he is unwilling to negotiate with strikers. It's basically his was or the high way. That attitude is unsuitable for a democratic country.
So really they are not great party leaders imo

Please do your research, this has been explained over and over and over.........Johnson knew it was wrong when he said it under Parliamentary privilege. It concerns me that people are voting based on prejudice and misinformation.

Thank you Wyllow.

Sazz1 perhaps you should retract your statement.

Yes Sazzl, perhaps you should. How you vote is your business, but spreading libellous lies based on the biggest liar to ever stand up in the HoC is quite another.

Labour attack Rishi Sunak personally on all levels, very underhand. They can’t answer questions clearly if at all, too evasive and untrustworthy. People forget that the country has gone through a very tough time, Rishi was there for them then so support him now, his policies are working. If Labour get in then the country will be ruined, after all last time they left government they left the treasury completely bare!

grin grin grin yeah right
