Love to see it.

Yes. Thinking that reform will always be there is extremely naive, reform can disappear just as quickly as UKIP did after Brexit.

This is clearly a great result, but I think that given the popular vote, that it’s important to accept that this election was anti-tory, not pro-labour.

Labour have five years to make a substantial tangible change in people’s lives or we may very well find ourselves back where we left off or even worse.

This isn’t an open and shut case. People were pissed off with the Tories, but Tory voters have not switched to Labour, many of them have switched to a party even further to the right, reform, and that is the electorate that the Tories are now going to be chasing for the next election.

This vote wasn’t anti-rightwing, it was simply anti-tory and the chance that the next election will yield a party even further to the right of the previous government is considerable.

I think saying that the island is covered in transphobes is doing the UK a huge disservice. I’m absolutely not saying things are perfect here and of course there are a few absolute knob heads, but the UK is one of the most accepting countries in the world and the diversity of the UK shows that.

Don’t let a few bigots paint a picture of the whole country.

Same but there was also an equally sized labour surge that kept the SNP out.

Labour absolutely need to accept that this was a vote against the Tories and that they’ll really need to make some positive changes that the average person can feel if they want to win the next election.

The Tories will not be chasing the labour electorate, they will be chasing reform’s. If they can mop up the right vote they will be straight back in to power.

Reform has 14% of the popular vote. The Tories will be chasing that.

Lemmy is obviously very triggered by what you’re saying, presumably because speaking against lockdowns and furlough is very controversial. But you are largely correct.

COVID cost the UK in the ball park of £360 billion, some estimates go as high as £410 billion, most of that was printed money. You can’t inject that much in to the economy all at a time where there is comparatively very little productivity and then not expect significantly higher levels of inflation, it’s economics 101.

About half the sum in the headline, maybe a little more, can be directly attributed to how we dealt with COVID.

It’s my opinion that a huge proportion of people that identify with Reform will get cold feet in the ballot box and decide to stick with what they know.

That’s not a very nice thing to say about Jacob.

Reform stealing the right wing voters might not push the Tories to the centre, it could push them further to the right to try to win them back.

It worked for UKIP when the Tories promised a referendum to win their voters.

It’s my opinion that a HUGE proportion of people identifying with Reform will get cold feet in the voting booth and vote Tory.

I don’t expect labour to be full blown left, just actually left rather than ever so slightly to the left of the Tories.

In fptp, only tactical votes matter.

I’d love to be able to vote with my heart, but getting the Tories out is far more important.

A voting system suitable for a multi party democracy rather than fptp.

If heads are going to roll, can we start with the people that privatised a natural monopoly and used it as an ATM whilst simultaneously plunging it in to multiple billions of pounds of debt?

Tories scoring own goals for the last ten years, everyone poorer, life expectancy down, retirement age up.

They might be thinking that Labour will do it so want to beat them to the punch, despite it being their own very expensive failed experiment.

Come on now, it’s not like Starmer to bait the left wing and then abandon the pledge as soon as he needs to impress some Thatcher lovers.
