General Election - July 2024

[twoleftfeet]

This appears to be the rumour on Sky. An easy win for Starmer and some big names losing their seats. The Country needs a change but is it going to get one? The thought of seeing that annoying Beth Rigby for 6 weeks though is a horrifying thought.

"Side, do fuck off, you stalking little cockwomble, you’re as bad as TrundLOL."

[Side of Ham]

"raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, this is where you come across as a proper party politics numpty.....you focus on the tories and not the problems at hand, you are already looking for excuses should this government fail which just shows your personal trust in them is lacking. Grow up and move your intellect out of the 6th form dormiTORY into the present day......you didn't win a trophy just a likely continuation of what's gone on before....."

[ray winstone]

"''Conservatives can't have been that bad for 14 years'', I'm not sure what part of the world you live in FH but I have some news for you, they were bad. I give you Barnard Castle, Nadhim Zahawi, Chris Pincher, Truss & Kwarteng, shit in rivers, oven ready deal, highest immigration ever, yadda yadda yadda, and that's got fuck all to do with Labour, the Lib Dems or Farage's National Front, the Tories fucked it and they've no one to blame but themselves."

[Side of Ham]

Being so close to the Russian border Pickle cannot help but preach glasnost on here.......

[Hammer and Pickle]

Go on then spermbreath - off you go to the woke thread.

"Hammer and Pickle 12:26 Thu Jul 25 Re: General Election - July 2024 It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Tories are not the sole custodians of sensible government policy. But I think you will find this government will yet surprise you with sensible policy the Tories proved totally incapable of owning. need me to go and find the posts on the woke thread where you claimed that puberty blockers weren't being fed to kids, and that even if they were, it was 'kind' to do so? You may remember, it was when you made up a story about a trans kid you knew, who must have been a boy because they liked JOGGING. Dishonest imbecile."

They definitely won’t. They could say “I’m not going to pass judgement until I’ve seen all the footage & know all the facts”. This country has become one of victims & cry babies - look at the strictly come dancing nonsense. “Celebs” moaning because someone was mean and made them work hard whilst training. It’s fucking pathetic.

[ForeverHammers]

Goose a good example. If Labour right at the very top come out and back the Police Officer in Manchester I will honestly give respect to that. I just don't see they will from initial comments. But let's see how the day goes.

[ForeverHammers]

"Ray, Conservatives can't have been that bad for 14 years if they were how did they keep winning. They won because Labour were hopeless. They won this time by becoming more like the Conservatives. It is of course fine to make bold statements. It is my opinion Labour will crumble and crack at the first event of significance that isn't part of the script they are currently still trying to stick to."

The two examples given by SG are encouraging so far inasmuch as Starmer’s stand is in tune with what the majority of the electorate seem to think and exhibits his intention not to be bullied/browbeaten by factions within his huge ( and democratically skewed ) majority. This is a change from the previous government which bobbed about in a sea of internecine unrest where various MPs tried to out compete one another in levels of nastiness. The outgoing administration was never evil but nasty people were gaining significant influence whilst taking apart the Tory’s long held claim of competence.

[Hammer and Pickle]

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Tories are not the sole custodians of sensible government policy. But I think you will find this government will yet surprise you with sensible policy the Tories proved totally incapable of owning.

"Agree with that Stewie - so far so good. What would really impress me would be the PM supporting the police officer in Manchester who booted the fella in the head. You mess with bull, you’re gonna get the horns."

[stewie griffin]

"I think they’ve made a great start, personally. Banned the chemical castration of children permanently, reinforced the 2-child benefit cap & suspended all the MPs who voted against it. This is the most conservative government we’ve had for ages. Great to see. Less good for the folks who’ve backed themselves into a corner by claiming these policies were the work of an inherently evil government, whose awful policies would be ripped up by their team – but frankly, that’s just another massive win watching them go silent as they are confronted with the dawning realisation of their own stupidity. Keep it up, Keir son."

"FH, so, Labour were 'really bad' for 14 years, unfortunately, the people who were actually running the country were wretched, in fact they were disastrous, bad enough to let idiots like Farage to come to the fore once again and disincentivize the voting public so we've ended up with a government who most likely only get one term. But before we start making bold statements about bad they are going to be, why not give it more than 2 weeks to make any judgements, after all, some on here had Boris down for PM for the next 10 years, look how that turned out....."

[ForeverHammers]

Ray 14 years that shows just how bad Labour were that they couldn't get in. They have now with a really disappointing 35% of the vote after those 14 years Labour so eagerly mention. If Labour can match the 14 years fair play. I just don't see it.

[ray winstone]

"So, 14 years of lies, obfuscation, incompetence, scandal and sleaze was all Labours fault and oh, we’re all going to die. I love it."

[ForeverHammers]

"Conservatives were in for 14 years because Labour have been hopeless and to left wing. So whilst Starmer might keep referring to 14 years those 14 years were signed off by the public voting the Conservatives in. I give it 6 months before Labour start to crumble. That is even if no new world crisis on the scale of a financial crisis, COVID and Ukraine becoming something they have to deal with. If a new world crisis does happen it all starts to fall apart even sooner."

[Side of Ham]

Same thing happened when those Tories got back in after a decade of Labour......round & round & round it goes.....and the party politics freaks STILL defend it and forget this type of fact.....

[Fauxstralian]

A reminder… the Tories were in government for 14 years Who else is to blame for the state of the country? People that are here are down to the Tories & their Brexit The lot that spent £700m sending 4 people to Rwanda. What a mess to clear up Can’t believe they haven’t done it in 3 weeks

[ray winstone]

"'We know what's coming', and......"

[ForeverHammers]

Starmer repeatedly blaming Conservatives for everything and that apparently a crisis everywhere in the country in PMQ's. He must think the 65% of the population that voted but that didn't vote for him are fucking stupid and believe his every word. We know what's coming. I just can't see how with all those MP's it won't end up with a clash of individuals sooner rather than later for him.

"A strong early signal to tell the whole party not to go ""off-Message: ""You were elected on a manifesto to not change the 2-child cap (fuck me the country's crowded enough as it is with all the ""Unexpected Guests"" you demand we house) and you deliberately ignored that for whatever reasons"". Hopefully now the entitled will have second thoughts about rocking up at Number 10 with a begging bowl and expecting the taxpayer to fill it."

[ForeverHammers]

Labour demands it's MP's do not vote for the SNP amendment threatening them with suspension if they do. 7 Labour MP's still stand up to being bullied by Sir Keir and vote with SNP they have now been expelled for 6 months. 42 Labour MP's decided not to vote either way.

"Biden has acknowedged his health and age means he isnt fit to be President for another 4 years Perhaps the criminally convicted gibbering ginger (the late great Hannibal Lecter , he's a wonderful man) might come to the same conclusion. Saw news reports of Trumps first speech. Understood he'd given a longer one .... one where he wanted to unify the country by abusing the sitting President and migrants"
