Labour have been on the back foot over the past week. First the Diane Abbot debacle, then the Tory tax claims. Why Starmer didn't refute that in the debate at the first, or even second, opportunity I do not understand. Probably because taxes are going to increase. But now it's been largely debunked as a made up figure, Labour can go to town on the PM's integrity.

There was a compelling party election broadcast from the Lib Dems last night. It was fairly low on substance, but high on values. https://twitter.com/LibDems/status/1...VsWh-Qd4A&s=19

I'm hoping an Independent candidate who lives in, understands and will stand up for my area puts themself forward. It looks as though parties will start publishing their manifestos from next week, which may help me to make up my mind who to vote for.

Is no-one bothered that Diane is a quivering shadow of her former self, Angela is not sure where she lives, Labour's teary first Minister in Wales lost a recent no confidence vote and Sir Keir appears to have a steam-powered thinking process?

They are going to run the Country (probably at 20mph)? :disturbd:

An upgrade on the current lot, do you not think?

I'll need to ponder over my reply. OMG, it's making me all shaky and all teary...who, what, where am I?

1. Yes, I’m concerned for the apparent Parkinsonian symptoms Diane Abbot is exhibiting. I have no doubt she is also aware, and is likely taking medical advice. However, if she is happy to continue to pursue a political career while those symptoms are not debilitating, that’s up to her. Her hard left politics concern me, but TBH she is on the lunatic fringe of the Labour Party, whereas hard right politics is very much mainstream in the current Tory party and that is of far greater concern to me.

2. Angela Rayner has been investigated by the police and other authorities and is facing no further action. Not sure what your problem is?

3. The Senedd is a glorified county council and attracts politicians of that calibre. Its Labour membership, in particular, pretty much opted out of the New Labour project of the late 90s and early 2000s and as a result are prone to making lumbering, centralising, unreconstructed lefty errors with now very obvious consequences for the likes of the NHS in Wales. However, until voters in Wales lose their widespread compulsion to vote for anything in a red rosette regardless of their competence, they will continue to get the government they deserve.

4. Starmer is, I think, capable of quick thinking, but his instincts are to stop and chew things over rather than respond quickly. Watch back the infamous £2,000 claim in the ITV debate and you can visibly see Starmer thinking to himself, “Hang on, that’s not right, it’s so obviously not right there must be some reason I’ve not spotted for him to be even saying that … there could be a trap here, let me think it through.” As the debate unfolded over the subsequent 24 hours of course it became clear it was just a brazen lie designed to be so epic in scale that we all stop and assume it can’t be a lie, there must be some truth to it. If that’s how the Tories are going to conduct the next 4 weeks of campaigning, then Starmer is going to have to start trusting that he knows what he’s offering the electorate and act quickly to counteract misinformation about it.

If like me and you don't want KS in you have to vote Tory, as any other vote will put KS in No 10, I will then call for another election as I didn't get what I voted for. (The Remainers tries, so why can't I?)

Re: The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 3
 

And you’ll get one (in around five years time…).

Re: The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 3
 

I'm afraid if you don't want Sir Keir as your PM, you'll have to move to another country in July. ;)

If only we got to vote every 5 years on Brexit. The result would be a foregone conclusion.

Re: The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 3
 

Someone dared to mention the B word on Question Time tonight, sadly several people were trampled by the elephant in all the confusion that ensued.

Re: The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 3
 

Starmer would have legged it all the way down to London if that was mentioned in QT Chester! And Sunak would be citing Covid and the Ukraine war to explain our country's unique 5% reduction in GDP even before the questioner was able to finish their sentence!

Thats what they said for the original vote. ;)
