and Starmer says he'd press the nuke button, so that's reassuring.

 

A bit extreme don't you think?

Tice says that Farage won't be announcing a deal with the Tories, but not ruling out him standing as an MP. More bad news for the Tories.

Getting boring now

Now labour winning by just 80 seats will be considered a massive victory for the Tories.

I was genuinely surprised by this so I googled the viewer demographics. It's 62% male, 47% over 55 and concentrated in the north west, central west, south east and London.

All figures from mid April 2024  https://redfieldandwiltonstrategies.com/who-watches-gb-news/

The voting intention was then Reform and Tory. I'm  not buying that new poll  but if true then the Tories are finished

If that was replicated, including the 14% reform then that's almost a wipe out event is it not? The LIb Dems wouldn't be far off the Tories.

 

I don't think Reform will get that much FWIW but still nice to imagine...

 

A month out from polling day and Sunak is not closing the gap a single inch. One things for sure, the electorate massively want to punish the Tories.

Bring Back Boris

I don't think you can trust the people of Clacton to reject Farage.

based on polling, its Reforms best chance for a seat

Everyone expected him to win in Thanet too but he didn't!

Only just! and that was against a Tory party who weren't polling at like 0 % as they are now. 

 

I've no idea if he'll win tbh, depends on how Labour do I guess.

I hope he doesn't but I'm thankful he's not set his sights on Thanet again. 

 

We're expecting our new MP to be some woman parachuted in by Keir to save us and we don't need the press attention that Farage brings with him!

Next parliament could have Galloway, Farage and Corbyn all sitting together at the back.

Sorry but that is not true - many men have been raped by Gay people and some when they used the toilet.
 

You also do not seem to understand that a woman who has transitioned to be a man is a man - well they are in my mind - and the same for men who have transitioned who are now women. Unless you are suggesting that all of them will attack others just cos one has then you need to apply those rules to all, gay, lesbian everyone cos one bad egg really should not make everyone be suspected....................................... or maybe I have read your comment wrong.

 

But live and let live, don't judge and don't fear everyone cos someone has wronged people.................... A really good friend of mine is trans btw

 

but there is such a thing called biological sex, you know that right?

 

I think there's a time and a place for these discussions, but not in an election campaign...too much bile and hate. 

[steviewevie]

Rayner contradicts Starmer and says she wouldn't press the nuke the bastards button. De-select her now.

Fortunately people who rape and attack other people are very rare. I've no idea if trans people attack people proportionately more than non trans. I'm happy to accept they are victims proportionately more then non trans. It's just there are some situations where people want to feel safe or that outcomes are fair  and sometimes that means they want to deal with someone  of the same sex. Whether or not that is reasonable is up for debate but it doesn't make them bigots.

Absolutely, I'd be happy to sit down with both of you without feeling threatened. However, assuming your friend is a trans woman, if she boasted about holding the local female park run record I'd personally think that was unfair.

An important part  of the Starmer plan was to demonstrate Labour's change by purging the Corbynites and reassuring voters Labour are safe on borders and defence. Angela Rayner has interfered in this twice in the last few days. I also don't believe Starmer has forgiven how she humiliated him a few years ago when he tried to demote her. He'll have the power to sideline her if he gets a massive majority.

Firstly of course I know biological sex - no need to start the patronising......................

and unless I missed it you shared the story about the Tory party raising this in the election so it is there part of the election and I did not put it there.

There is only too much bile and hate if you choose to go that way.
Which I don't  as the people most effected already experience far too much bile and hate and they have done nothing wrong what so ever and just want to live life in the way they feel best suited to them.

I have zero problem with that

not criticising you discussing it, I am criticisng Badenoch.
