A sad fact is they will still vote Conservative, like the past few elections, not because the Tory party is of any use, it’s just no creditable opposition exists, Labour cant find its feet and Starmer is weak and goes with what’s popular rather than what’s needed, voters fear this, Labour will do well but not brilliant, sad but true.
@Valentine Kane: Compared to Johnson, Starmer looks like Hercules! Boris Johnson has never told the truth. It just goes to show you how much of a hold the British media have on the people that Boris Johnson got into power in the first place. He had more skeletons in his closet than Jeffery Dahmer.
@Mike Ruddy: correct – he’s realised what Corbyn was up against in the British media. And Starmer is much more palatable to the media there than Corbyn ever was.
“integrity issue”!!! Are they for real!?
They voted him in as leader. What part of his long and very public history didn’t clearly show him as a inveterate liar and con artist. Was being fired from 2 separate jobs not enough? How about trying to get a journalist assaulted? None of that was a clue?
Quite frankly, it’s galling that these people blame him. He’s clearly shown his true colours for decades. Have they never read the Frog and the scorpion? It’s in his nature!
No not the, Greens gaining seats. dig deeper into your pockets for that Lot.
Chucking Borris out will regain 50% of their vote. He’s toxic now.
@Kevin Conway: That was the plan all along, the Conservatives knew they were going to have a bad election so left Boris in place even as more and more scandels broke. That way they can now get rid of him, spinning it as if they are cleaning up the party, and install a new leader with a clean slate. No point in getting a new leader before the election and having a disaster, it would make the new leader seem weak.
