Like usually means bookmarked.

Repost means interesting.

Not one good word to say about Sir Keir Starmer.
If only it had been our ability to coordinate, rather to compete, that got us to the top of the food chain.

The policy failed on every measure, the Economy they tried to prioritise suffered greatly.

In a free market the consumer can choose between different providers.

Deporting a child to a country they've never visited and a language they don't speak might be challenge.

Also he has no political anchor no lense to interpret events through.

Are we sure it was a actually Alan Carr in Traitors? Maybe Wes swooped in as soon as Alan got his dream role.

Labour seem expert at the moment on undeliverable promises (or manifesto pledges).

Typical Tory. Have you explained your defection yet?

Happy coincidence between personal and national interest.

An experiment in pack (or group) mentality. It's just a game but put people in groups and they become loyal to the group. I was surprised how seriously (and personally) they took it but I guess it just reinforces studies on the power of groups.

For a left block to emerge Lab would have to put country ahead of party.

I guess there's a chance....

One of the recurring themes of Keir Starmer's time in politics is broken pledges.

Words, promises...mean nothing to him.

Tactical voting requires Lab to have the humility to compromise.

I honestly think they're at least one savage defeat away from reaching that point.

Maybe this is true but would the headline be the same if a Right Wing candidate won? Or would the news be running with one story 'The Mandate of the Right'?

Tis only a flesh wound.

New 5 point plan incoming...

Public signatures should be an option obviously it would need tight controls and checks (e.g. you can only sign for one person)

Although the 10k figure mentioned seems too low. It should be set at a level that signifies significant support.

Do you know what happened in past elections?
October 25, 2025 at 2:45 PM
There's an anti Reform majority for sure but it will not be led by a red rose.
October 24, 2025 at 11:48 AM
Lab need to take a look at this.

Remember how they're supporters label other people as Tory enablers.
October 24, 2025 at 11:45 AM
A penny! That's over generous.

How many seats are winnable without a pack with 'Your Party'? And how many would be winnable with a pack?

By pack I mean each party agreeing to stand down in certain seats.

Lack the political courage?

Have you considered that they're governing exactly how they want to.

I see your point but the "+" needs a health warning in FPTP.

33% is a landslide if the cards fall right.
