Tax cut inbound !!!!!.

I guess with the announcement that the inflation rate has fallen to 2% he thinks it's better sooner than later , my heart says vote Reform UK but my head says don't let Starmer and his bunch get in , it's a tough call but in all good conscience I can't vote for this Tory party so I'll likely vote Reform UK.

Labour will win whatever happens. The question is whether it will form a majority government or not.

That's what the polls are saying. I can't vote Con and that's from a near lifelong Tory.

Lib Dems are just lame.

I may just scrawl a crudely cartoonist willy and balls on my ballot paper.

My area is way blue so probably academic.

Rwanda was the final straw for me. And there have been a lot of straws.

The question is whether it will form a majority government or not.

And that's another problem , by-election results suggest Labour won't win a majority which will have the Lib Dems sniffing around for another taste of power in another coalition if the outcome goes that way .... a chilling thought.

I won't vote for this government as 1: I think this leader is illegitimate and 2: look at the mess we're in.

Reform may be a protest vote but if enough of us do it and they poll well compared with the Tories the message will have been sent.

Hmmmm.... this 4th July date.... sorry.... he knows he's beat so it's HIS Independence Day and he'll bugger off Stateside on the 5th.

Just so long as he buggers off I don't care where.

Rwanda? As he thinks it's so nice?

A coalition government could be on the way but not with the Lib-Dems. I am thinking of the SNP and they would make some demands. One of them is a referendum...

Rishi Sunak General Election announcement.

The announcement starts @34,55 , the rain starts shortly after , the British weather has had its say!

I doubt John Swinney can undo the damage that has been done to the SNP , not saying they won't win it but I think it likely Labour will take Scotland just as they will England and Wales

I wouldn't say so and the polls (some caution here) say they are about to win around 40 seats in the next general election. Poll was conducted on February

Ok they get less seats but I don't think they can get anything less than 32-33 seats.

I think The Tories are resigned to losing this General Election.
I also think there's a #storm coming shortly and they know it.....after 14 years of Tory rule, mismanagement and bleeding this country dry they know just how #ed we are.

Labour will win this election and then when the proverbial hits the fan MSM will kick into overdrive blaming anything and everything on Labour and those pinko commie bastards.
Then when the notoriously short memory of the British electorate believes every word of it we'll see The Tories returned for yet another extended stay.

Same old same old.

Please don't get me wrong, I don't think Starmer or his party are good options.....just possibly the least worst option.
A damning indictment on this country and its politics.

I've been pretty open about my incredibly low opinion of the vast majority of our politicians who seem to share similar traits; careerist, populist, egotists who lack any sort of original thought or vision for this country and how to deliver it.

All a shower of #e.

What do you think of the possibility of Labour+SNP + a referendum?

I anticipate a dark horse candidate, Lord Donaldton of Trumpington.

Count Binface for Prime Minister!

At least we don't have long to wait for the only poll that matters.

a reply to: Ernestc

I'd dread it.

SNP are the worst of the lot.....and that says something.

I like our Scottish brethren.....they've suffered enough having the SNP in Holyrood, I'd hate to think they have a large say in that cesspit Westminster.

What an awful choice we all have regardless of what part of the UK we come from.....as I said, all a shower of #e.

I'll just make a note of you?

"Pissed off and fed up with the lot of them"?

Agreed.

The SNP are toast. Once again, Scotland will give us a Labour Government.

Would the last person to leave the country please turn the lights out?

Nigel Farage says he'll consider his position overnight.
