Labour have power for 5 years, that is all that matters.
An almost impossible job.

As Hunt said in his speech last night, Labour are in a better position than the Tories to reform the NHS.

What will he do about the rubber boats crossing the channel? If they continue he will be in big trouble very quickly.

Most of us think they should be turned back by the border force and returned to France, Then destroy the boats beyond repair.
It seems simple but he will have to take on human rights lawyers who are making lots of money from this racket.

Massive BBC headlines showing top 4 results, no mention of reform, they don't like it up em.

UT...post 395510...hoping debates will be more entertaining with diverse views and opposing views in HOC to get more voters in tune...

ThickSmith, one crucial statistic you've probably overlooked (if previous posts are anything to go by) is % of votes recieved by party. I has a quick look this morning for Derby North and Reform recieved over 22% of the vote....remarkable really! What's important is that Farage, Tice, Anderson & others have now got a platform in the HOC. Although not official I predict these three alone will get more traction as the unofficial opposition that Labour have in the last 14yrs. Reform or the Tories fronted by these 3 will be in contention for government after this term.

Agreed climber - but unfortunately we shall have to endure this shambles of a party

May seem unified and in control now - but give it a few months and we'll see the raving lunatic fringe (i.e. the real liebour party)

I wonder if Lib Dems will still be pushing for proportional representation after that vote!!!!

[kkclimber56] 05/7/2024 09:43

With exception of 2001 this is the lowest turnout since 1918.Labour and libdems JUST hang on to their vote in englandThis is simply a protest vote from tory supporters who are fed up with division and incompetence. I am a tory at heart but happy with the result. In no way is this a swing to the left. Simplky a wske up call for the tory party to rid itself of idiots and extremists.

[kkclimber56] 05/7/2024 09:38

Except 60% voted

Call it intuition, but I polished my doc Martins & pressed me dungarees yesterday. Already feeling more in touch with my feminine side. Might get a piercing at the wkend.

Starmer only got 34% of vote and only 50% voted so actually only 17% of population voted Labour!

Sigh of relief election over...volumes very light...

Stock market likes it.

As Emma said of her 1st round win at Wimbledon and Englands Euro wins,
`If you win ugly, it still counts'.

FFS. How very labour. Keep people away from work for any reason. I take it you dont have any employees. Greece have just implemented a 6 day week.

Ah I see M2 - constituencies. Me being thick - as usual. Cheers. It is a bit daft when 40% of the electorate are not represented. It could be the first big influence of Reform though Im sure 16 year olds will be more important

[scruff1] 05/7/2024 08:31

At least we have the Euro Final to look forward to. Dont know what the Jocks can do to console themselves. Support us possibly eh?

[diku] 05/7/2024 08:31

Scruff.

[joe say] 05/7/2024 08:27

I'm going on a democracy march at the weekend

After all 52% wasn't deemed a majority by the whinging left - so kier's 35% is truly a minority - with no mandate given to him whatsoever

[hardup1] 05/7/2024 08:21

Glad to see the SNP got a mauling in Scotland 👍

[tygarreg] 05/7/2024 08:12

Reform got more votes than lib dems and combined with conservatives got more votes than labour. However, Labour and lib dems got a very high percentage of seats from a small percentage of vote.
