I've been thinking about what Nobody Interesting said yesterday and I wanted to apologise for how I have been at times in the  politics threads. I am genuinely sorry if I have ever bullied anyone. Whi

I'm going to respond to this one more, and this one only, because this is a thread about UK politics, not forum moderation. I just felt that given your accusations, it was important to address these t

Starmer could open fire with a  kalachnikov into a primary school and Ozanne would back him to the hilt and say it was great strategy

I'll keep flying then, just like your son and you did for decades 🙂 

My own flying for pleasure covered less than a decade.

My business flying slightly longer and I ditched a job cos I didn't want to fly.

 

You need to own your own doings including your liking to invent bullshit, it absolves you of nothing and adds liar to your bad.

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.

Bristol are probably going to get a Green MP though...

 

I’m not so sure, in a general election campaign it could very well be different. Besides this was a Green seat anyway.

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.

Without a doubt it’s a choice between them but I just have doubts whether they can get that seat in a GE. I have a feeling they’ll lose Brighton too.
