This government has just been an absolute PR shit show.

Yes, but sweety, opinion polls don’t reflect the views of the real voters.

Which doesn’t matter one iota for the next five years.

Unsurprising really, they’ve already targeted disabled people (some of the most vulnerable demographic) and seem to be operating on a Tory basis to gain favour with funders. People voted because they wanted a Labour party, not this shitshow. Having said that, a lot of the current furore probably comes from well-off pensioners with an entitlement problem.

There is no viable party to vote for in the UK. Instead of voting Reform, people voted Labour just because it’s not Tory. What did people expect? Granted, a Reform win, would have been akin to putting Liz and Kwasi on every single ministerial post. Imagine the FTSE plunge.

Well, we’ve had them in charge in Wales for quite a while, so this is of little surprise.

Who’d have guessed.
Starmer is nothing more than a fraud who spent his term in opposition attacking a government who had to deal with Covid and a European war.
I honestly believe he has mental issues.

I’m all for Labour being unpopular tbh. They need to slash and burn, make hay while the sun shines.
The winter fuel allowance was supposed to be a softball to test the waters, and they’ve royally fucked it up imo, letting detractors make it a much bigger deal than it really is. And the clothes scandal is just a massive own goal that was utterly avoidable almost to the point where I suspect the thrill of getting caught is borderline fetishist for Starmer it was so blatant. They’ve got time to shape up. They can be a shamble of a party all they like in terms of “honour”, but they need to use their majority to at least steer the country into a positive place.
Remember, we are *right on course for a* ***second lost decade in a row.*** Something has to change that. I *want* the big disruptive, unpopular party to make the hard decisions. We must stop that second lost decade coming to fruition at all costs. Labour have the votes to do it. It’s just a case of whether they have the stomach to do it.

Maybe I was too harsh on you, Sunak.
Keir Starmer is going to be remembered as the worst PM at this rate.

“We inherited a bunch of formulas from Labour that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone.
“I started the work of undoing that.”
We have to get back to the plan.

Mention of points is absolutely pointless right now. Come back in 4 years.

Ratings aside, it seems clear that the Tories have outflanked them on these issues brilliantly and ousted them as hypocrites
Politics can be dirty yes, but for Labour to assume they could operate like the Tories and not get called out for it is really amateur hour.
I’m sure Labour will learn and recover from this but just wow!
The voters voted labour because they were not meant to be the Tories, yet here we are 🤷♂️

These polls are absolutely pointless though. No election for years.

> Keir Starmer’s poll lead over the Conservatives he trounced at Britain’s general election has slumped to a single point.
Let’s hope he doesn’t call an election in the next month then…

On a scale of 1 to 10 how gutted is the average Labour supporter now.
I’m not British. But boy, even I’m feeling this. Imagine waiting so long to get the tories out and then labour come and piss the bed in a matter of weeks.
