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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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??

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.

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

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...

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?

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

Is It Joss Whedon Buffy the Vampire Slayer quality or Joss Whedon Firefly quality?

I personally think that all restrictions in school will have gone. I’ve been asked to start the planning for next years timetable with none in place.

I’m worried that Gove will ultimately be even worse.

It’s so obvious Gove is behind this. The irony is that Johnson supposed comment is exactly the kind of shite that Sarah Vine would peddle.

He’s got enough for CCFC already I reckon.
