You can tell an election is round the corner as the onslaught of briefings against Labour have skyrocketed.

Thought this current Israel/Gaza thing would end up f**king Labour.

Is it really f**king them? An MP nobody has heard of has been caught, he has been suspended. I have zero sympathy with any labour MP over these issues, they know it’s an incredibly sensitive issue for labour, if they are stupid enough to get caught on camera or audio then that’s on them.

only that they're starting to fling mud at each other, and Labour infighting so often a problem.

Couple of by-election wins later this week would help.

The Tories will fling mud at each other soon enough. I don't think this stuff matters much. "Same old Labour" and "Same old Tories" views will stay static.

Labour aren’t really infighting anyway, it’s just a few loons on the fringes that being stupid. It’s not really gonna change anything.

think it goes deeper than a few loons, but so far most just tow the line because they actually have a good chance of getting into power and don't want to f**k it. I would expect as soon as polls narrow or they face problems when in government it will all come to the forefront.

Quite fun to watch the mental gymnastics being performed by some of the slimiest folks in politics rn.

The problem is with lies is that they eventually catch up with you.

Probably just noise, if it was the green announcement then the Tories wouldn’t really be going up especially when other polls show the complete opposite.

more in common one yesterday had labour lead down to 11 points, but have to see what other polls say. Labour have had some bad headlines recently, and this is before the Rochdale thing.

[Guest]

I thought I read somewhere that Labour need a 12% swing to simply get a majority. Unless I'm misunderstanding, an 11% swing in the polls just won't cut it?

well...some people did expect the polls to narrow as what Labour are offering comes into focus...and with the green investment uturn maybe people are thinking they're not offering that much that is different. Have to see what is in manifesto, but if Labour are going to make it super cautious bombproof because they're scared of Tory attacks then that might actually work against them if cost of leaving starts to ease and Labour start fighting amongst themselves over left/right stuff and Israel.

Still think Labour will win, but maybe a smallish majority or a hung parliament.

Or another poll will come out in a day or two with a 40 point lead for Labour.

Far right winning loads of seats in EU, Trump winning the whitehouse, and Tories get a shock win in the autumn. You know it's happening.

Lee Harpin, when not hacking the phones of murdered children, is essentially a client journalist for the right wing of the Labour party.
