Labour would send us back to the 70s!I was on that there tik tok, earlier, why I expressed my views on a post, showing Patel and Farage partying like the Conference was a rave, saying that working class Tories have a lot to answer for.
The response from one, was that they will vote for them as the best solution as the others will cause way more damage.
It defies belief (well mine, anyway!) that other parties would have been more corrupt, lying, self interested, racist and bigoted than this bunch! Listening to Braverman's speech and seeing that chap led out of the premises, by the arm, by a police officer for simply saying what he did, sums them up.
The problem with fairer voting is Labour didn't want it either last time, as lets face it both parties rely on you voting against the other one just as much as people really wanting them. I suspect Starmer will be no fan of a fairer system either TBH, but you never know.They're definitely following the GOP playbook in the hope to cling on. I think they know PR will come in if they don't and then they'll never get in again,
Yeah, right...Sooooooo,,,, £36BN investment in the North and Midlands after confirmation of scrapping the Northern part of HS2.
Is that a last ditch effort of shining the magic light in front of the electorate's eyes? "You will forget the last 13 yeeeeaaars...bzzzzz!"
Everything bad is labour's fault! Now about those trains we promised you...Meanwhile, Sunak has just taken to the stage at the conference and, in the first 2 minutes, he's damned Labour for backing Corbyn and yet again lied about how he would have ruined us!
Always thought that the "Northern Powerhouse" was George Osborne's way of putting money into the pockets of his mates in Manchester.£36BN investment in the North and Midlands
350m a week for the NHS?
Blue Nose overspillThe Tamworth by-election this week reminds me of the April 1996 by-election at the then South-West Staffordshire constituency when our Frederick Sandy stood for his Action Against Crime party.
Gaining only 53 of the 43,497 votes cast he came twelfth of the thirteen candidates. With 506 votes David Sutch of the Monster Raving Loony party did 9½ times better.
With Tamworthians so vehemently against "Action Against Crime" I concluded that that might be Staffordshire's most lawless town, so very different from its reputation of being where Robert Peel grew up before becoming "the father of modern British policing".
