It’s a waste of time honestly. When Scotland leaves and the UK disintegrates I’ll at least have a choice I suppose

The only thing I’m holding on to is the hope that there’s some kind of critical mass of left wing people fucked off with the screaming children that are the modern online left and we have some kind of Kinnock V Militant scenario where they all get kicked out or shut up, can’t see it though.

Can’t see a centrist party breaking through either. I worry it’ll be racists Vs snowflakes for good. Somethings got to give surely? The vast majority of people aren’t like either extreme.

Yes of course I can see why he's popular. He plays to the crowd and people love it.

What I can't understand is why people put all that ahead of actual ability to run the country and why him being a bit of a 'lad' excuses the corruption, the PPE scandal, 130k dead etc etc

Michael Gove criticised foodbank users and said its there own fault for mismanaging their finances.
It keeps coming back to the samepoint, the criticisms of Labour are totally valid but I still can't understand why that makes the tories a more attractive proposition.

Any way, scandalous that people have to use foodbanks no matter who the government is, glad you're back on your feet.

Been brassic myself in the past but at least the benefit system enabled us to feed ourselves (that was under a tory government!)

I actually think Jess Phillips would do OK. At least she comes off as pretty normal. Plus the meltdowns from both far right and far left Twitter would be glorious to behold.

Lots of people think that though about people slightly worse off than them. You’ve got to believe it’s a moral failing because then you not having to do it is a moral virtue.

It’s why the “scrounger” stuff plays so well. I’ve got a mate who smokes an eighth a day and won’t vote Labour because they might legalise weed and “a lot of people can’t handle it”.

People are fucking nuts.

They would if the politicians ever talked about them , rather than get themselves involved in every single social movement , appealing to every fringe group rather than the Majority of the country.

A while ago I put forward my personal policy preferences, mainly aimed at getting more cash into working people’s pockets. G said it was pointless as it wasn’t a vote winner and Evo says nobody reads the manifesto anyway.

So let’s just admit this is just a personality contest akin to Homer Simpson winning the election for ‘Garbage Commissioner’

That's the frustrating thing. We're back to the unanswered why do people vote Conservative again. Plenty of reasons not to vote Labour are given but any points about policy or anything against the Conservatives and its dismissed as something people aren't interested in.

Not sure I buy that people are paying attention to everything that Labour do but happily ignore anything the Conservatives do. That just seems a long winded way of saying 'voters are stupid' which isn't a route I'm keen to go down.

Don't buy the Labour out voters off by saying they're stupid argument either when you're got things like Rees-Mogg going on the radio saying the victims of Grenfell only had themselves to blame for lacking common sense.

I think people are getting a little carried away. These are strange times with the pandemic and politics can change very quickly. If Labour get rid of starmer after a year it would be crazy (same as if Tories try to push Johnson out - I can’t see an alternative election winning leader in waiting...although Gove probably thinks he is !) Elections are all about match ups, does a May beat Starmer, doubt it

Labour just need to be seen to be listening to their (historical) core base. If there isn’t much ‘levelling up’ in the North by the next election they can win a lot of this support back.

Also, Johnson has always got a fuck up in him so, as I say, things can change very quickly

Ps it will be interesting to see if the current independence polling in Scotland is reflected in Thursdays results.

tbf, he's also why Labour aren't dead. At some point he'll self destruct, and if they pick the wrong uncharismatic buffoon, then people won;t forgive what they do now.

(Of course, each time I think we can't get a worse Tory PM, we do...!)
