Fair play, I think that's a pretty strong speech

Starmer allowing US to use our air bases to attack sites in Iran that are targetting the Straits of Hormuz.
Not sure how I feel about that. Probably the right thing to do on a global basis but I just hate the thought of helping that cunt out.

 

[Templeton Peck]

They've already been using our bases anyway.

Apparently we're just "plastic lefties" though

So much for less corruption, he 100% should have resigned over this.

 

[Templeton Peck]

He'll go after the elections.

 

[Sniffer]

He won’t. There’s too much shit happening for anyone wanting to take on the role yet. Closer to or to step down as the leader before the general election- maybe.

Swapping PMs every five minutes is a c***s trick that shouldn’t be done out of popularity or in the hope of staying in power. The are elected to serve not to win again.

There's plenty of background manoeuvres but nobody wants to be in charge the day those results come in. Labour are on course for their worst ever vote share in local elections.

The problem is that if places are (inexplicably) turning to Reform then I'm not sure what you to do combat it. You have to let them fuck around and find out.

It's this in real life.

 

[Del Woppio]

Yup. We don't get rid of them until they're in power and fuck it up, unfortunately

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

My hope is that enough people follow Rupert Lowe (!) and his nonsense, splitting that vote, so they don't win outright, and no-one else will work with them so they can't form a coalition. So either a minority Government which wouldn't last two months or there's a coalition of vaguely normal people and they're shut out as a large, noisy but nonetheless non-governing party.

I mean that's my hope. That's where we are.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I prefer Lowe to Farage.

Obviously that's like preferring a genital wart to gonorrhea, but still.

 

[visage]

That doesnt need to be national power though. They're already doing terribly in every council they control.

The other parties need to be making the argument that if Reform cant run a county council, how can they be trusted with the country?

It would definitely fuel their victimhood complex if they win the most votes but no other party will work with them so they can form a government.
