Edited for you

Thank you for the edit, much appreciated, but I stand by my original comment thanks!

True, but indicative of how working class voters feel in those 100 key Northern and Midlands seats. Brexit has them ditching Labour, which they saw as blocking Brexit in the Commons.

Mad really how these people have double - f*cked themselves. First with brexit, then with a boris government. Hari - kiri on a large scale.

Why is Farage being interviewed by the BBC when Brexit Party has precisely 0 MPs predicted and he didn't stand. Greens are predicted one and Lucas has actually done public service. Baffling.

Balance, you fool. Balance.

 

[Bodian]

Quite odd though - although they are saying +50 for the Tories, the seat-by-seat prediction has 43 seats likely to change hands to the Tories, and 14 changing hands away from the Tories - which makes +29 likely, not 50. The rest are all 'too close to call'.

So, it's not certain (although quite likely....)

For the many, and the Jews.

Can you please clarify what your post means ?

I think they overestimated the public to be honest. A paper thin manifesto and a leader who hides and lies doesn't matter as much as a three word soundbite.

See you on the Brexit thread

And a load of sheep followed them.

The voting public, sheep, never! Sheep are actually quite intelligent creatures...

Good to see Momentum policies getting a kicking. Hope the Labour Party learn the lesson and return to centre left

 

[Guinness Boy]

But the 100,000’s of angry left, who joined in 2015/16, have de facto control of the Labour Party. Are large numbers willing to moderate their stance on everything, to become an electable party again?

No, I doubt it. In fact, I suspect that right now [MENTION=38012]BenGarfield[/MENTION] [MENTION=34160]theonlymikey[/MENTION] and [MENTION=33329]Jolly Red Giant[/MENTION] are slapping themselves on the back for staying true to the only political ideology they understand whilst scratching their heads as to how no one else agrees with them. Which just proves they're circus acts.

 

[Bodian]

100% this - this was precisely why Corbyn and Labour didn't want an election and why Boris and the Tories did. Boris played a blinder in stealing the moment.

Now everyone has the pleasure of a majority Tory government to look after our (their) interests...!

'played a blinder' aka 'pulled a fast one'

That can be closed, as it ain't going to happen any time soon, if ever!

 

[Weststander]

Probably not, keeping control of the Labour party will be their overriding goal .... hope the moderates have the balls for a long hard fight to regain control and make them electable again.

Totally agree, futile control of a major party or control’s sake, rather than taking the long game to get Labour into Downing Street. Unintelligent, dogmatic.

Shirley the plan has to be to win the 2024 GE.

Labour party briefing paper leaked saying blame everything on Brexit

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Excuse me?

You can't seem to take anything on the chin; you looked like a spoilt brat.


Anyway, I am not on here to say I told you so, but if you make brat like statements I will probably respond.

Let's go forward now clampy.

Is hating homelessness, underfunding of the NHS, child poverty and underfunded adult social care not an ideology YOU subscribe to?

Labour needs a northern, working class, Leave leader. Need to reverse the London entryism of recent times.

That will get my vote

Yep

True, sadly you will be on there contributing nothing as ever. If I ever bother with it again myself, that is. Brexit is done now. The 4 billionaires running the media have won. They have successfully brainwashed enough people that somehow we are going to be a better country outside the EU.

I still can't believe what the conservatives have done to this country. We will see in a decade or so just how much they have absolutely ruined it.

Unlikely to get my vote, then...Starmer for me.
