That seems a fairly antipathetic post considering it's agreeing with what I said. 36% of Reform voters oppose the employment rights proposals - that's proof that some people (which will include workers) don't like the policy. I didn't claim it was a majority, just that it was a factor.

What I said was that it's wrong to assume that all workers agree with Labour's additional workers' rights pack package, and gave reasons why not. That can't be taken to mean that no workers should have additional rights if you had read the thread. I think there is a tendency sometimes to see a...

You're making things up. I don't default to thinking that all sick people are scroungers. You're an example of one who wasn't. But your example doesn't prove that there aren't any scroungers. I worked with someone who played darts every Thursday, and was off sick every Friday. And as per my...

Exactly. Someone on here willing to think. Anecdotal evidence of what some voters are thinking is not easily sourced.

Increasing tax threshold so that lower paid people pay less tax. Not all workers are in favour of workers' rights in the way you might think. For example, people with no intention of taking sick days went they aren't ill are not necessarily in favour of sick pay from day 1. And they aren't...

Certainly there would be Tory voters in Labour seats would be willing to vote Reform to get Labour out. But there is also great potential for traditional Labour supporters to vote Reform. In spite of the red wall collapse of the Labour vote against Boris Johnson - and that vote didn't come...

If he has 32% in each constituency, then he will get tactical voting in his favour as well as against him, then he is in with a chance. Particularly in the "red wall" which has already showed its willingness to turn against Labour.

I think perhaps you've misunderstood what I meant by the sentence "But we can't".

I would love to deport our own home-grown rapists as well. But we can't. But we can at least get rid of as many as possible.

If they're going to do that, how would being a signatory to the ECHR stop them? They could opt out just as we could now.

Where is the "elsewhere" you talk about? You're aware that Australia isn't accepting convicts nowadays?

No, obviously not. I don't share your opinion that there were no human rights in this country until the ECHR was formed, and frankly, I don't see how that position is remotely tenable. What I want to take away is some more of criminal's rights. Specifically, if we have granted them a...

When the whistle bowls, the ball is dead and nothing that happens after the whistle can be changed. The penalty after full time scenario is talking about something that happened before the whistle, and so VAR can change it.

Hope you're right, but I doubt it. Many of the 0 or 1 goals conceded will become 1 or 2 simply because a PL player will do something special that a Championship player can't do, or conversely a PL player will take the reasonable chance that a Championship player would let in. Keeping Trafford...
