[Politics] The Labour Government

[Hamilton]

Agree with Hugo. I think the Prisons Minister appointment is inspired. Need to give Timpson the tools and room to do that job.

And I’d say you’ve every right to be. We all should be. I’ve read quite a few dismissive posts on here regarding Reform and Farage since Thursday; but I believe when we look back in years to come, the story of this election just gone will be the emergence of Reform.

Over 4 million votes (4 f***ing million!) from a standing start. That’s 45% of the number of votes Labour got.

Their policies on "cost of living" grabbed a lot of interest. More money to every household by increasing the tax allowance at every threshold.

They have a few policies that seem to resonate with different pockets of society and they are gathering momentum. I know a few people who voted for them and their popularity is a growing concern

And to address the OP’s question, how’s it going? Just fine

Hopefully those numbered will keep growing

France should be a warning.

Not just France. Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and even Germany to add to Hungary.

A lot of people in the past would have liked to vote LibDems but considered it a "wasted" vote. I think a lot of people this election equally considered Reform a "wasted" vote. Following their clear success from a standing start, I think it is very possible that their Party will grow considerably in the future.Their results should be an alarming wake up call to Labour as well.

Revealing the findings of the Russian report is where I want to see swift action.

hash browns !…. get them orf the breakfast plate.
The baked beans look a bit dry too.
But a very good choice of accompanying sauce.

If anyone truly believes that Starmer and the Labour Government will in any way improve life for the average person in this country they've got a huge shock coming.

Given the previous Government made life considerably worse for the average person in this country, I’ll settle for arresting the decline for the time being.

I appreciate potato products on an FEB are very divisive. Friends have strong opinions on this. I like hash browns though.

The baked beans are home made by the butcher who makes the bacon and black and white pudding. They’re very good.

UKIP polled 3.8 million votes in 2015 so it’s not exactly a standing start just a few thousand more rebranding.

Five million votes, two seats: smaller parties demand a change in the rules

Ukip won 3.8m votes, the Greens 1.1m; but they won only one MP each in the election. In Margate, there is growing support for electoral reform

Is it time for a cholesterol check?

3rd day in and I’m wondering if this brand of opulent post-capitalism is bad for your health?

Billions of pounds of unfunded tax cuts. Farage fell apart and got angry every time he was pressed on this matter. His tax cuts were Liz Truss x10.

They appeal to those who don't/won't question what's put before them, and refuse to listen to facts. And also those who like the racist undertones of his words.

Day three. Disappointed Starmer hasn't stopped the 'war' in Gaza. No wonder all the Muslims voted against Labour. Laura K just asked the new secretary of state what Labour are going to do about all that lost support. He didn't promise to stop the 'war'. Shocking.

After 3 days, Labour are already finished. FINISHED. Finished. Fact.

Under the previous government, 90% of people encountered on our morning dog walk would greet you in some way. Today, 50%

that’s because they probably lost their voices shouting at last nights football on tv

My floor needs hoovering again despite having been hoovered a mere two days ago.

Labour are in danger of losing a voter in this house.
