    I think best case scenario is we could get 10 seats in the places you’ve mentioned. We had 7 in 2017, now only have 1. The way the Tories have handled Cov-ID I think they’ll lose the little seats they have next time round.

    Northern Labour voters have been in decline since the end of the 90’s because the party was viewed as too London-centric. 2017 was actually an arrest of this decline and in some areas it started to improve, only to be truly fucked by the Brexit stance. I know we have gone over this before but I...

    Depends where they in terms of geographical location. I might be wrong, but I feel that centrists and lefties often occupy the same areas (London and big metropolitan conurbations) - and I’m unconvinced that northern constituencies are full of centrists.

    Corbyn toxicity with voters stemmed from Brexit and the decision to pursue the PV (championed by Starmer no less) - it allowed the Tories to pin on him that he didn’t respect democracy. To their credit they executed that with aplomb, and once they had that embedded they could chuck anything and...

    Labours issue now is that whilst they are trying to appeal to people that don’t vote for them - moderate Tories and centrists (on the face of it making some sense) they are now alienating the core base of their vote that stuck with them in 2019. No point in gaining moderates and centrists...

    Yep you can see how that would unfold a mile off. I’m inclined to think that if we put ours up we aim for a higher price and then if it goes it would help.

    George Floyd

    Just floating a thought... if people are sexually attracted to brunettes or black girls for example you could argue that comes from some kind of natural instinct. So does that mean we are ‘programmed’ to be racist IF they were accurate?

    Thanks for all the housing market advice. I think it’s still pretty uncertain out there... as much as the wife was excited about the stamp duty, she did also acknowledge that it probably isn’t going to be a priority for a lot of people, and their are probably better priorities to be focusing on.

    Sunak hadn’t even finished the sentence about stamp duty and the wife wants to move again. Is this a good time to sell and upsize or would holding off be better.... any advice would be welcome which I can then pretend were all my own thoughts!

    My sons U9 team have been back to training for 2 weeks now. Split into bubbles of 5 with each player having their own ball - mostly been doing practicing technique and fitness. Not had any games yet at all - some shooting practice is the closest they’ve come to interaction. Must say that...
