People are switching precisely so they don’t get a continuation of the same shite (Tory government) they have endured for the last 14 years,
They have finally woken up to the fact that things are shit.
Detail is more or less irrelevant, they just want change
Anything more than a three word slogan is too much thinking for most people.
Just listen to the street interviews they do on voter intentions, rare you hear anything coherent
I hope Starmer brings about proportional representation. I know he is personally against it but it did receive the vote at 2022 conference. That might shake things up a tad moving forwards.
Not in a million years
Have you read it at source? I ask because most of the papers were saying the same as you are, but the whole thing takes a while to chumble through the usual bloviating windbaggery and get to the point - and points there definitely are if you have the patience - e.g. scrapping the Rwanda nonsense is now down in black & white: it may seem obvious to us lot, but it’s a very hot potato and won’t play well with a lot red-wallers, so not devoid of a degree of bravado, possibly even courage if you’re feeling generous…
Here for anyone who can be arsed - Change – The Labour Party
Admittedly nothing very revolutionary, but party manifestos are primarily wishlists - not detailed action plans.
It’s always a turkeys-voting-for-christmas thing, unfortunately.
Did Rachel ‘fully costed’ Reeves say “If we can’t quit while we’re ahead let’s at least quit while we’re only £240M behind” ?
I hope so…
I think that the Tories reversal of their decision to cut overseas aid was quite laudable.
But there were probably more deserving recipients than Rwanda.
Starmer needs to get Rayner as far away from the TV cameras as possible. She is utterly hopeless, even by Labour standards.
She’s there to keep the left wing side of the party on board. I don’t think she’ll get near the decision making group - McFadden, Streeting, Reeves and McSweeney will be calling the shots.
This, so much this. She is a liability in front of a camera and it’s pretty close without the camera.
Gobby northerner probably goes down better in Red Wall than elsewhere
Zero brain interface before speaking 
The assassins are circling.
Not sure who will emerge as the knife wielders,but if they know their Shakespeare, Julius Caesa’rs assassins did not live very long after deposing the leader.
“Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick, Kemi Badenoch, Penny Mordaunt and Grant Shapps”
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Etc.
Negative gravitas, every one of them.
How many votes need to be sent to that committee? Will there be enough tory MPs come 5th July to muster the required number?
They’re a nasty bunch, charmless and deluded. I wonder how many of them will still be MPs after the election? I’m hoping they will all be given their jotters.
As a family tonight we watched the Reform UK PP broadcast. It was 5 minutes of this:
We thought the TV had frozen.
I don’t think they will need any letters.
Although the number of letters required varies as it is 15% of the number of MPs to force a leadership election
Any leader who loses an election, especially from being the incumbent government with a decent majority is almost certain to resign,
William Hague and Michael Howard both resigned immediately after losing a GE (although they were not in government)
