Unfortunately with all the inflationary moves so far, ie increasing wages, increasing employment costs, interest rates are probably more likely to rise sooner rather than later.
Edit - oh look, inflation up to 2.3% already.

You missed the “gut feeling” question in the OP?
You are also suggesting that 50% of NSC are Tory fan boys, not sure the pre election polls on here would back that up.

You missed:
Everyone who never votes in NSC polls: Still scarred from that Mantis Shrimp fiasco.
That would be my preference, also
A great question.
I haven't given it much thought, but I suspect they'd need to hint at "closer ties" and hope the Tories are still an unelectable mess.

They've turbo charged all the crap policies the tories had so its going to be faster down hill.

I thought you’d be pleased the Home Office is actually processing asylum seekers, instead of hoarding them in hotel chains owned by ‘mates’.

I have no hope in the red Tories. I never thought they’d be this bad so quickly.

Spending and borrowing up, growth down, inflation rockets
I don't think they can fail in the eyes of some on here. Everything negative that happens will be because of Brexit not Labour policies. There could be a worldwide fuel crisis pushing petrol & diesel up to £3 a litre but still it will be Brexit. Or another lockdown due to a pandemic costing the economy hundreds of billions but still it will be Brexit. So far Labour have been even worse then I expected. Usual tax & spend & politics of envy. Not that the last lot were any better. Just glad I'm old so I won't be around in a few years. This country is going downhill so fast. At least I moved out of London I guess. Things are a lot better in the small towns and villages but probably not for long.

Regretfully not until Labour risks an ever-decreasing amount of political capital by grasping the nettle of Customs Union/Single Market/EU rejoining.
Until such a time, any initiatives will be done with one hand tied behind their back which they could, at any time, untie if they were motivated to do so.
But for now, sadly it's a case of self-preservation over nation.

It won’t be long, Londoners move out to the shires and turn the shires into London, then the locals will move out and so it’s repeated ffs
This is encouraging, is it actually true?

I suppose it depends on how accurate the journalists are on the London Economic.
Boost for Labour as deportations of foreign offenders 'rise sharply'
Oh, the things you can do when you bin-off the £700m Rwanda scheme - and deportations under Labour are breaking records.

I did come from Hailsham originally so I moved back. Hopefully that makes me still a local! Not sure where the locals will move out to though! Hungary is my choice but the language is a tough nut to crack!
And seeing as you posted the link, i’ll assume (dangerous i know) that you believe the numbers then?

I think no, unfortunately, for two reasons really. Firstly because a Labour government is held to a higher standard than a Tory one so the steady drip feed of negative press will turn sentiment against them quickly, and secondly turning around the country from the absolute mess of Tory governance will take longer than the electorate will have patience for so they'll have be deemed to have failed before there's really been an opportunity to make a tangible difference. Also, until we rejoin the EU all any government will be able to do is play around the edges and hope for conditions that make things less worse than they could be rather than actually objectively any better.

Until someone says it’s not true, why not? I’ve posted a direct link which states charter flights to Nigeria and Ghana.
