“Labour are total bastards. They’ve caused all the problems of the past 2000 years.
Just paraphrasing UK media, including BBC
Does anyone remember this kind of coverage of Tories, when, for 14 yrs, they were lying through their teeth, directing untold billions of public money to their friends etc?

Can someone point me to a sensible opinion on what exactly Rachel Reeves is supposed to have done wrong. My take is media speculation pre budget proved to be wrong, (who knew eh) and rather than acknowledge their error they're blaming Rachel Reeves.

Ed gives us reasons to be hopeful: that measures are working.
But there is much more to do - and Labour are doing just that here in the UK.
But more importantly they are aiming to be world leaders to get other countries to take the necessary steps as well.

The Greens are not the antidote to Reform. Sadly Polanski is a left leaning version of Farage. Both are populists, both have great answers but neither is capable of the hard work needed to develop workable solutions to benefit Britain.

Number of posts saying Starmer isn't doing enough to defend the BBC, very few saying what they want him to do other than defend one of our institutions. Should he address the nation, phone Trump and tell him to f*ck off? He's made a statement, that should be enough for now, no need to escalate yet.

It’s difficult to see the new ‘Your’Party as a threat. What makes anyone think it’ll be third time lucky for Corbyn. I can see how he can ‘split’ the vote. But no one owns a vote. They have to earn it every time. In 4 years, I say bring it on. Voters are what matters.

Too many people expect the Government and particularly Starmer to leap onto social media to immediately comment on every situation/breaking news. Knee jerk reactions are not good Government, as we saw with 14 years of Tory misrule.
