Anyone else feel a sense of impending doom that we’ll have a Labour government tomorrow?

No matter who’s in power there’s nothing to stop anyone from contacting MP’s. They don’t have to be your own MP although if they aren’t they are under no obligation to reply ( although they often do). If someone does something you disagree with email them. Even more importantly if someone does something you agree with ( especially if it goes against the party line) thank them. Your support will mean a lot to them. I can’t wait to finally feel that I’m represented by the party in power. I only hope my local Labour candidate overturns the huge majority of my current Boris Johnson adoring MP.

Errrmm! And?

Rishi has just had time to get to know how it all works, and the youth and health to be a good leader for a while - why don't we see that???

Under the last Labour government there were 35 food banks. Under the current (not for long) Tory government there are 3,572. They should be ashamed.

Without people like you wanting to support your local community, our food bank network simply wouldn’t exist.

All the food banks in the Trussell Trust network are created in partnership with local churches and community organisations. They’re best placed to understand local needs, and we provide them with the tools, training, and knowledge to start a food bank.

“How the network began

The first food bank in our network was created in a garden shed and garage in Salisbury in 2000. Seeing how many people needed emergency food, we carried out research into the UK-wide need for food banks and discovered that this was a nationwide problem.”

The above is a quote from Trussel Trust website.

Why would there be a need for food banks under a Labour government who’d been in power for three years, when they could’ve thrown money at those in need?

Just to muddy the waters, when I bought mis Casa in rural Spain in 2011 there were no food banks or charity shops in our little town. Within three years we had two of each, all run by Brits, under a socialist government! Go figure!

saw an article today saying if you own a house have savings and a pension your doomed so time to sell house and spend I suspect

HomeAgain could you tell me where you saw the article?

I think you’ll find that the reason he called the election was because his own party was plotting to remove him and foist yet another unelected PM onto us.

Many reasons for anyone with their own home and savings to be concerned.

This nonsense comes from the same Daniel Hannan who assured is all in 2016 the "No-one was talking about leaving the Single Market" For that deception he was awarded a peerage.

You know better than to rely on biased newspapers for truth Germanshepherdsmum.

Increases in Council Tax don't only affect home owners.

I think he's been taking lessons from ex-PM Johnson.

Not exactly doom but a feeling of embarrassment that flip flopping Starmer could be in charge and, even worse, will have the foul mouthed “gob on a stick” as she is frequently called, alongside him.

Imagine them representing our country with leaders from all nations and then they rock up! 🤮🤮
I will never forget that picture of the two of them taking the knee! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So suggest what you consider to be a reliable source then? You and growstuff do this continually.

"Gob on a stick" isn't the most delicate language either.

My favourite is Reuters. I also like i, or the Independent for newspapers. For online news, I check out BBC, Sky, ITV, and watch political podcasts - one of my favourite of them is New Statesman. I will read from any source, but not rely on one only.

I don’t rely on any newspaper when I am well able to make up my own mind. I posted the links because obviously HomeAgain had been unable to.

Miracles were promised. They will not be delivered.

Miracles haven't been promised - quite the opposite.

They may or may not have been promised but people will expect things to improve quickly.

Any short coming in the Labour party, any misdemeanors, any rift will be blown up by the press. There will not be a honeymoon period for the next parliament.

I don't dread the Labour government.

Keir Starmer and the Labour Party are pretty obviously going to win the election. Not particularly a sense of impending doom as there is far more to life than politics
Certainly don’t have much faith in them either but we will see

Thank you for posting …. I do also read other articles but this appears to be a repeated opinion in many .
On another thread someone mentioned contacting local MP if unhappy … I have sent 3 emails in past 6 months no reply , this morning asked why not to a gentleman with red rosette. ‘ email again as have been busy ‘ I had no response 🙈🙈🙈

Nigel Farage behaves like Mr Toad. And he even looks like a toad.

I asked all those who called (a lot this time and two of them actual candidates), the same questions. The answers were a mix of couldn't say (gender), and blame, housing, immigration and potholes.

I also pointed out that I had emailed (as advised on the leaflets, and tweeted. The answer was, except from one that it was a very busy time at the moment.

Nothing new there then. That’s true whichever party is in power.
