That's a lot of angry, disenfranchised people out there Unless you get rid of all immigrants, and anyone they perceive as immigrants that is not gonna change. And if they did, agriculture, the NHS and all generally low paid cacky work areas would collapse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a stable government that helps change society for the better will but an end to that. Them and the Tories will be having a mini war which makes them both look bad. Labour just need to govern well and change lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 5 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5 (edited) Solihull and Shirley West remained Tory, and by a fairly big majority Honestly, how could ANYONE (except @Rugeley Villa) think that they should carry on and have done good things for us. I utterly despair that so many people can vote for more self harm because that is all it would be under another 4 years of Tories. It's astonishing. Only good thing is former Tory pervert Julian Knight who stood as an independent got hardly any support. I shall however cherish the letter I received from him after I wrote a letter of complaint when Liz Truss was Prime Minister. His assurance that everything would be fine now that Sunak was prime minister instead certainly proved to be wholly inaccurate.

Things you love to see. Classy speech by the new incumbent there too btw. No gloating and thanked Truss for her service. Amazing restraint that would have been well beyond me.

DeadlyDirk Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) I'm highly amused that the perennial Tory safe seat of Witney has been lost to the Lib Dems. Most amusing. (It's my home town for context) Edited July 5 by DeadlyDirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Did not do enough" is such a shite sound byte. What does that mean? it's just waffle. You did plenty love, it's just that the plenty you did was an awful mess that has set this country back a decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just about small boats though. More net migration figures. If Labour fail to get British people back to work and they don't sort out NHs waiting times plus build enough houses then the clamour for reform will grow.

MCU Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Exit poll suggested there was a 71% chance Labour take the seat from Tories 14 years ruling in my constituency (Wyre Forest) last night. Woke up to another Mark Garnier Conservative victory... madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I checked Lichfield last night and it said 91% Tory hold (Fabricant) yet it went red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I bailed out before Truss losing her seat which is the real cherry on top. A lot to digest. Headline is obviously a massive Labour landslide, Tories worst ever result, SNP hammered, LibDems best result in terms of seats for 100 years and the rise of the 'others'. However a lot of moving parts with the turnout and the Reform vote. Ultimately Sunak gambled on a snap election and from a poor position he has made it even worse.
