Beautiful bit of kit

I think you need to understand why people vote against their own self interest. Often voting is based on a moral conviction, for example immigration is bad. The second main reason is how fear activated the mygdala, shutting down reason centers in the brain. Psychologically, people are complex...

Of course there is a case when someone's entire argument is labour are as bad as tories.

No they are not real terms but still above inflation. Furthermore, for the local Boro and Redcar councils there were additional grants of over 20 million each for regeneration and additional funds for schools too. It's tough, I wouldn't argue that but funding is improving and to decry what...

Try looking at the actual numbers. Which council do you work in?

It's clearly a stupid statement. I don't recall starmer ever saying "let the bodies pile high." I don't recall the labour party sending infected vulnerable people back into care homes. I don't recall the current government being taken to court, even once. I don't recall starmer defending a...

If a coalition government can't be formed we go back to the voting booths again, I believe.

You are essentially right but, ignoring atlee, the next pm's that passed the most legislation on their first year are johnson and Cameron. Edit. I would add that the workers right Bill is on point

You are not wrong Festa. As an example, arguing with a reform supporter in the pub he asked if I went to university and when I said yes, he claimed, almost triumphantly, that I had been brainwashed by woke professors. Th simple truth is, if you vote Reform or Tory at the minute you are an...

You did miss the most horrifying promise. To leave the echr. That should terrify us all.

The employment rights bill alone would be enough for me to vote Labour again.

Interesting fact. I have never had hay fever before. This year one eye was swollen shut. Who knew. I used eye drops. Sorted the eye out in a couple of days.

According to the latest mmrp poll a government could not be formed,coalition or otherwise.

1 in 5 Americans are illiterate. In the modern world it's the dumbest country and by some way. Furthermore their top spot in science has gone too with China surpassing them, despite the ridiculous amounts that they spend on research.
