The New Iron Lady

Don't mess with Liz! The pound is busy retreating back to where it was with it's tail between it's legs

Re: The New Iron Lady

YouGov poll for The Times this afternoon: Labour 54%, Tories 21%.

The pound may be busy retreating (is it?) but so are Tory voters. Unlike the last YouGov poll that gave Labour a 17% lead, where the Tory losses mostly went to 'don't know', with this one half the Tory switchers have ticked Labour.

Much as I despise Starmer and his clique, they are being handed this on a plate by the 'government'. I suppose that means Starmer will be better at The Great Reset than Truss? Confusing this masterplan!

With the prospect of full on bloodletting next week in Birmingham I can already hear "things can only get better" ringing in my years.

Still too early to be complacent, the next election is probably two years away and an aeon in politics. However, it takes a lot of imagination to work out how the Tories can get themselves back in shape any time soon.

clearly it will come back from that, but that would be an absolute bloodbath. the Tories would be finished

Re: The New Iron Lady

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a UK poll lead that big. As Dorcus says, a lot can change in two years, but, with Labour having enjoyed an almost uniquely stress free conference while the new PM is making Johnson look like a political genius, this is beginning to have the look of another 1997.

Three seats for the Tories

Three seats for the Tories

It will never be but my goodness isn't that a heartwarming sight. Something to make people sleep soundly with the prospect of good times to come.

Re: The New Iron Lady

As much as I’d love the Tories to only get 3 seats it shows how ****ed our political system is that 21% of the votes gets 0.5% of the seats.

Same with UKIP in 2015 only getting 1 seat after winning 12% of the votes.

Labour needs to back Proportional Representation to end the 2 party race if we want this country to start advancing at anything more than a snails pace.

A, disaster for the Country. Labour 480 majority whilst jumping for joy, could lead to far right parties like in Italy if Labour didn't perform

Despise ..... to look down on with disrespect or aversion despised the weak. 2 : to regard as negligible, worthless, or distasteful despises organized religion.

How do you feel about the liar Boris and this school teacher that is running your country and taking it down the drain ...dont hold back !

Re: The New Iron Lady

I never thought that there could be a worse leader and cabinet than Boris and his cronies
Shows how little I know about it all
If it’s a ruse to open the door for him back into politics they’re doing a great job of it

General Elections very rarely turn out according to mid term polls.

We've been here before with Millinand. There's a long way to go

It’s not going to happen is it, but I agree with you. While I’d love to see the Conservatives with only three seats, no party getting twenty one per cent should have such a small representation and, if Labour were to end with well over five hundred seats on just over half of the vote should be the signal for a concerted drive to get a more representative system adopted.
