steviewevie Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 36 minutes ago, lazyred said: That off the cuff remark early on about witholding water and aid hasn't been forgotten yes, and then not calling for a ceasefire, and now not calling/voting for arms sales to Israel to cease...they just seem to just try and pre-empt what US/UK govts might do and go a little bit further, but it's too slow, too late. I initially had some sympathy for Starmer because it was all happening during labour conference, there was a fair amount of sympathy for Israel in those early days, and he was desperate to distance Labour from the Corbyn antisemitism thing. But it took him ages to qualify what he meant in that interview...and now muslim support, like red wall, like Scotland..are voters that Labour have taken for granted and that looks now broken, but like in Scotland/red wall they can be won back.

I’m not so sure, in a general election campaign it could very well be different. Besides this was a Green seat anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ommadawn Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 (edited) According to the BBC, there is a 9% average swing so far from Conservative to Labour since 2021, the last time most seats were contested. But the increase compared to local elections last year is more modest, at about 1%. What percentage swing would Labour need to win a General Election? Just checked. It's 12.5% for an overall majority. Edited May 3 by Ommadawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling they’ll lose Brighton too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
