So Labour will need the balls to say to the electorate "we said no tax rises  but now we will have to reverse the cuts the Tories just made otherwise we cannot invest in public services like we have pledged to"

A channel 4 poll showed 75% of people would prefer no tax cuts and money invested in services....................... so Labour would be daft not to change what they are saying, wouldn't they?

yeah, but 1992

[steviewevie]

so...which is a worse result for Labour...Galloway winning or Ali winning?

Its looking less likely the Tories are going to get significant interest rate cuts in before the election:

56% Lab, 20% Tory

I was messing around with the parameters and noticed that in all of the combos I did, Postgraduates were more like to vote Tory than Undergraduates.

I assume its something to do with more people from certain backgrounds doing Postgraduate studies, rather than the more concerning inference that smarter people are voting Tory.

there's less public financial support for higher degrees, so they're more likely to be rich kids i think (my kid did a masters, not a rich kid, but a kid soaked in academia because his mum is a university professor, and he knows  that you need more than a standard degree to stand out).

I can't see it. I think Ali will win but Reform will do well. Vote for the pervert not the anti semites.

Ali would be a great result for those who argue that people don't watch the news or know who they're voting for.

I think it will be a narrow win for Galloway....but we'll see,

No. 
 

It would have to be the LibDem getting the vote if I were a Rochadalian. 
 

Preferable to an anti-Semite, another anti-Semite who loves murderous dictators and is generally a deeply unpleasant man, a pervert and a Tory.

Looks like you got your wish, Galloway thinks he's won comfortably, Independent David Tully has also done well so people have rejected the main parties. Starmer has dodged a bullet IMO, if he hadn't sacked Ali and they had lost to Galloway that would have been a real embarrassment, now he can just dismiss it as an irrelevant result since Labour didn't have a candidate.

the govt is kindly allowing councils to sell off assets to fund the stuff the govt wont fund.

might dig one or two out of the financial sh*t but isn't a permanent fix.
