Runcorn by election.

Re: Runcorn by election.

Starmers response to the reduced Labour vote is an interesting one.

Rather than pull back on policies such as benefit cuts he appears to suggest they need to become more like Reform/Tories.

Good to see Sir Kier as a man of principles (the massive cuunt).

Stagnant wages at low/mid levels shrinking the potential targets for increased taxation, growing retired class due to property wealth and a massive increase in numbers in receipt of some kind of disability benefit basically puts the government (whoever it is) in a no win situation. The numbers don't add up now and that will only get worse over the coming years with the increase in prevalence of disabilities amongst teenagers.

Have read a fair few 'labour need to be more labour to win over voters' articles/quotes and all they talk about is cancelling benefit cuts (including means testing of wfa). Might be blunt of me but my version of labour 'being more labour' would involve becoming bolder and more ambitious on policies that affect everyone in the UK, I can't see that happening with reeves as chancellor though.

Re: Runcorn by election.

Interested to see what they actually do with a bit of power. Seen precious little in the way of policy ideas from them at the moment. I think so far they've been all about stoking anger, very easy to be all things to all people when that's your approach. I'm not expecting great things, but you never know, they may surprise .

Really do think they're going to come unstuck though. It seems like a fair part of the population thinks that local councils are spaffing all the money that should go on bin collections and potholes on DEI and immigrants. When reform are the ones who have to explain that actually the majority of funds are going on care, with a small percentage left for the rest, what will their supporters think?

Councils by and large spend their money on statutory duties relating to social care and SEND. The public think they spend all their money on collecting bins and fixing potholes.

I remember watching a question on local authorities during one of the leaders debates before the general election and all Rishi and Starmer talked about was bins and potholes.

Re: Runcorn by election.

Same old story. People who have housing security slagging off those who don't.

The difference is that the left isn't offering any answers whatsoever. I bet all of you that bleat on here have homes with mortgages paid off. No idea how things are in the real world nowadays.

Have you been on the piss ?

I don't think housing security or lack of it has anything to do with dislike of farage and right wing voting

Lots of daft old racists in retirement with second homes ticking the box for reform

What a load of nonsense

Go to bed you drunk 🥴

Yadda Yadda. You live in a home with no mortgage, right?

Yes you are definitely pissed up again

It's perfectly possible to be financially OK yet dislike the likes of farage and reform and the divisive policies they promote

And , of course , far more people are voting against farage , even without counting the Conservative vote .....than are supporting him

So whilst it's clear you have for some time been jumping aboard his motorbike as far as I and the majority of the voting public are concerned we ain't being fooled

That applies to plenty of people with loads of cash and more financial security than the likes of anyone in the real world that you speak of and loads with absolutely nothing

So the only people who vote Labour, liberal or conservative and don't like the right wing reform party are home owners with financial security

And the people who vote reform are renting

Like you

Or pissed

Or both

May next year , 2026 I think

I think reform will win which is ironically amusing given that the idiots in charge has arranged for an extra 30 seats for what is a joke of a parliament and so amateurish





Eluned Morgan is starting to distance herself from Labour in Westminster but it's too late

Carwyn Jones has been the only decent leader in 25 years
