Right but it’s the Tory PM proposing to do it

By getting more votes which polling says could happen in 4 years when the election is. Most of the "Red Wall" will return as well.

It was only this year you were saying Trump was deffo going to win what with it virtually impossible for him to now.

It’s pretty clear Brexit is a massive fuck up and the Tories own that start to finish from the fact we had a referendum in the first place, the Tories were very much the face of the official leave campaign and then Tories decided what Brexit actually was in the end. That issue alone could do enough damage to the Tories. Before you even get onto the Covid mishandling, jobs for the boys etc etc.

Way too early to be talking about the next election - loads can happen in that time. Most of the shit they've done this far will be long forgotten by then.

So one company could supply 500k gowns per week and it already had the accreditation, one company could supply 40k per week with no accreditation.

Obviously they’re going to focus on the former ffs. Ridiculous one-sidedness like this that just takes credibility away from labour
Click to expand...

Why did it have the accreditation? Because it was given it by those in govt. How else would a new start up with zero experience have the accreditation?

Also it SAID it could supply 500k - no proof it could actually do it because, as I say, it had no previous experience. Perhaps the 40k was mooted because the one who'd been in the industry for ages knew this was a realistic figure? Remember the shiploads of millions of PPE on the way from Turkey that wasn't? And when it actually arrived it was unusable because it didn't meet standards?

They chose that company for one reason and one reason alone - it was linked to a Tory grandee.

Labour is smaller than the Tories not only in England but Scotland as well. It seems insurmountable to be honest

Starmer is being far too quiet on the situation and how it's being milked for personal profit by the Tories.

But how are Labour supposed to offer alternatives when the govt are trying to deny even their backbenchers a say in parliament with a massive majority? And that's after they purged anyone remotely moderate and sensible at the last election. They filled their ranks with nutcases and bootlickers and STILL aren't confident enough that they'll support what they're doing! Ministers are acting like feudal landlords and absolute monarchs.

Both have shrunk in Scotland, conservative lost more votes though. They’ve both got a mountain to climb in Scotland, I doubt Scotland is going to be an election winner for either party to be honest.

Lowest employment? I presume you mean unemployment, but I don't know about that one, give us the figures. Less homeless, obviously bullshit. Walk around town and you'll know that's false. Highest benefits, people actually committed suicide after the introduction of the bedroom tax. More support, why the rise in food banks then?
Climbed out of recession, fantastic. Shame about all the public services that got the hatchet along the way. The deepest cuts: austerity measured

Got Brexit done, Johnson has had to break the law over his oven ready deal that was a load of shite, still no deal in place. Still, people gobbled up his bullshit because blue passports etc.

In short, I'm not convinced.

Less homeless out there past few years than there was when I was a kid, and yea I meant unemployment props he hasn't lived up toe veeythijg but again I would rather Boris Johnson the clown over Jeremy corby the clown, as I see it Conservatives are more like the old Labour than Labour itself, obviously people disagree with me because that's their agenda, but I'm be voting for what ever benifits me and the cou try and in the last ge that was Conservatives.

Cool, I think if you come back with some evidence for what you say re the homeless I'm more likely to be convinced. Before every election I always do the anonymous policy check and it always backs up my thoughts. I'm working class and I don't recall any time that a tory manifesto has ever convinced me that it will help people like me.

Not going into opinions on this thread (plenty of others I can do that ) but, although Johnson's rather Liberal (and would probably have been part of their party when they were competing for power) and not necessarily small state, it's pretty bonkers to suggest the party he's in control of, and him for that matter, is anywhere near an old Labour economic angle!

Will hold my hands up and say I was wrong on the homeless part, I was going of what I see rather than looking up facts.

TBF you did but TBF I don’t think any of your other claims stack up including employment rate as it’s swelled by people on zero hours contracts. Benefits, you’ve clearly missed the universal credit fiasco. Food banks. Inequality gap has grown. The debt has grown. The NHS is neglected etc. etc.

The point you’re asking all of these as questions is exactly the point - there are lots of of variables but most likely they were just more likely to deliver to scale so they went with them.

Re the accreditation, I doubt the company set up was actually manufacturing anything obviously, it would be set up quickly because it’s just an import company and there was a contact abroad and the producer abroad already has the accreditation. I imagine there is an audit process and it’s done on a set cadence and the producer had it.

Still, don’t let any common sense get in the way of a good old blind Tory bashing.

Life must actually be a lot easier when everything that goes wrong is the fault of one big nasty pantomime villain. Easy way to get to equilibrium in people’s heads I guess

Yeah lets just perpetually go for the tried-and-trusted deregulation allowing the traders to get greedy, leading to high but unsustainable growth built on a foundation of sand. Inevitably that situation will eventually cause a recession, which they bring in austerity to deal with, slashing budgets and services. Take the support from those most in need and not responsible for the problems in the first place. But when it comes to elections it's "look at this big growth we have" always missing out the vital info that that's what resulted in the downturns and problems later on because they created a situation where a massive fall was inevitable.
