    That’s Ian Holloway logic.... like the time he tried to blame the EU for VAR.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    IDS is so fucking cretinous - a man that celebrates winning a welfare sanctions vote like he’d just won the Champions Legaue. What a c**t.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    OK - but how do you get MP’s to be accountable? How many Labour MP’s are representative of the constituencies they hold. This careerist model which seems to exist is how we ended up with the ‘all as bad as each other’ notion. Peter Bone is my local MP - done fuck all for this constituency for as...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We’ve had 4 elections in 11 years, with a hugely divisive referendum added to the mix. We’ve got a voting system that is no longer fit for purpose, a media that does not and will not hold the incumbent government to any kind of scrutiny. Add to that a major political party that failed to uphold...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    For all his faults (and there were plenty) he did have a narrative that people wanted to listen to. Starmer would be in a stronger position if he didn’t try so hard to move away from some of his ideas.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There are lots of good and decent people that get categorised into this group. People that want parity and fairness, the chance of a decent life for all. When did it become so ‘loony’ to want everyone to have the chance to get on the housing ladder (or have enough houses at the very least), have...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Without wanting to get into conspiracy, would be interested to see a breakdown of tabloid sales by region in relation to voting patterns. The voting patterns in somewhere like Liverpool which has virtually zero sales of the Sun and far less of other papers like the Mail/Express seems to suggest...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You are probably right about the Tory Teflon effect at the moment. What Labour don’t appear to have done is give the electorate a reason to vote for them ‘other than not being Tory’ or ‘new management’ in an era where the current incumbent are pretty untouchable. I think Starmer is being let...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    But that’s a completely different argument to the national picture. Labour have served the area at both national MP and local council area for many years, so if there is dis-satisfaction you can see why it would manifest itself that way. The biggest con the Tories managed in the Red-Wall seats...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Is it? Proportionally based on total users you could argue that is not true.

    Where was his? It’s all relative to the user network you find yourself in surely??

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There are plenty on Twitter banging on about how wanting to stop systemic racism for example is ‘wokery’ and the same stuff is happening on Facebook too.

    This is also the biggest cohort of the population... just for context.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There are twice as many Facebook users in the UK than Twitter... but somehow it’s the smaller platform creating all the issues 🤔

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That’s a tough one. I think personally it’s down to a combination of the current government being pretty untouchable at the moment for delivering Brexit (if only in name) and also an excellent vaccination drive. But I also think it’s because Labour don’t appear to stand for anything currently...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    No - social media is split generally, with different age categories occupying different platforms. So while your younger voters are more likely to use Instagram for example, the older voters are far more concentrated on Facebook. Same stuff happens on both platforms. Twitter is a bit of a...

    Surely you aren’t being serious here?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Labour needs to spilt. And then one of the 2 parts can merge with the Lib Dems.
