Freedom Farter Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) Scottish Labour could've been so different if Monica Lennon had won their leadership election in 2021. Sarwar defeating her was a big win for establishment interests. Edited May 2 by Freedom Farter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, "Scottish" Labour... allies of the poor and downtrodden (as long as what they say chimes with Labour "dahn saaf" in Sir Keir's desperation to placate the nervous right-wing electorate there.) Of course, the Scottish media will go for Labour all guns blazing over their vote. Of course they will. Sycophantic bunch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crùbag Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Labour not doing as well as hoped in some areas. Starmer's pro-Israel stance has lost them votes and they've been defeated in Tees Valley, one of the poorest places in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starmer's pro-Israel stance has lost them votes and they've been defeated in Tees Valley, one of the poorest places in the country. As usual the devil is in the detail, and whilst Labour will milk the headline results, the turnouts, and especially the Tory ones, are the most important statistics. These results also give little clue as to what will happen in a GE where there will a huge fundamental to confront - England is a Conservative nation. So much so that in order to get near 10 Downing Street the Labour party has had to drag itself ever further to the right. And even if they DO manage to win, their stay is unlikely to last very long, as fundamentally England is a Conservative nation, operating on a rinse-and-repeat basis, no matter how horrendous the situation has become. If you're content with this then vote Tory or Labour. But if you stay in Scotland then you'd be bloody daft to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 What are the issues that the Lib Dems will pretend to care about in exchange for a couple of seats in the cabinet? Just had a look at their website and it's very airy-fairy and "things should just be better" without a lot of actual commitments. Nothing to go back on, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 16 minutes ago, ICTChris said: Sadiq Khan in danger in London? I’d be surprised. The Tory candidate is a bombscare and I’d presume only got the nod because no bigger fish wanted to get humped. Although I have read that her record as a councillor and in the London Assembly is somewhat decent and her campaign - which has gone for the absolute lowest common denominator - might have been dictated to her from on high. Possible effort to see how Reform-ish they could go? Could be jettisoned now if Reform continue to do as pishly as they have when all the results are in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 51 minutes ago, ICTChris said: Sadiq Khan in danger in London? GB News types saying that Hall was leading despite votes not being counted until tomorrow. Other loon balls calling conspiracy because it allows Khan to ballot stuff and get fake postal votes in. Think Khan will win by a good few % but it won't be a landslide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The turnout seems to be significantly higher in outer London boroughs which favours Hall. My team in work is 50% based in London and several of them are vehemently anti-Khan. One guy said if Khan wins he’s going to sell his car because the ULEZ makes it too expensive to keep, he was praying for a Hall win 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
