And yet after the absolute sh** show of Starmer/Labour it sounds like the last 2 posters will be voting for Labour come what may?

I am not calling out anyone's right to vote for whoever they want (obviously!), but the comments come across hypocritically to me.

The least popular and (One of the) worst PM's ever who is doing almost nothing well/correctly & would be getting called all sorts if he was a Tory implementing his policies.

What would he have to do/not do for some people not to vote for him out of interest?

If he survives after the Local elections he will get a lot of votes just because all of the other options are (Almost) as bad IMO.

*Yes I will!*

The PM is not my favourite person, as I've mentioned previously. I didn't even vote for him in the contest when Corbyn stood down, but the party is (a lot) bigger than just Starmer.

I'm a member, have been for over half a century, and a "Vote Labour" poster will be in my window running up to polling day.

Another thing I've mentioned before is summat my boss said to me many years ago, and that was "Spelly, your loyalty is your greatest asset, and also your greatest failing!" Make of that what you will, LOL.

I expect Reform will do (very?) well in the English locals, but it'll be interesting how they'll perform north of Hadrian's Wall, and West of the Severn Bridge, with SNP, and Plaid respectively, also on the ballot paper.

Will the PM survive after that? Who knows mes amis?

Spelly.

Just a reminder that Farage would have been bombing Iran recently with his Tango Overlord. Always worth remembering.

As would Badenoch but that doesn't matter as she's an irrelevance.

Reform has its first councillor in S*****d, but......

How's this for a total farce?

Yesterday (yes on a Wednesday) a by-election was held in the next ward to me, just FIFTEEN days before they go to the polls again!

Reform used a loophole called a "Niche Rule" that dates back to 1972, costing the council (using my money) £20K, to call the election!

On a turnout of less than 18%, and after a recount, they scraped in by 33 votes.

Funny, I thought they were all about addressing the issue of tax payer wastage. Silly me.

Equally though Starmer pushed through the Prince of Darkness to be US Ambassador without any checks & the query wasn't for links to Epstein, but worse somehow!

Not just one side trying to cozy up to the bully/clown that is Donald Trump, for balance!

Lee Anderson's line about he couldn't lie straight in bed was hilarious btw.

Fire-bombing another country for no valid reason is a bit different. Granted, Starmer has a case to answer re Mandelson, but the issues are hardly comparable.

I'm no fan of Starmer and wouldn't mourn his demise. But the state of this country is not down to him. The fact that our welfare bill is out of control, 2.5m people are on the sick, 20% of under 25s won't work, the NHS is the worst its ever been, the tax burden is historically massive (which Starmer has increased), we'll be paying back COVID for generations, more and more billionaires are enjoying tax breaks, both legal and illegal migration are out of control, the cost of living is more like a cost of existing it's so high, public services are at their worst ever despite costing the most ever, the economy has flatlined for donkey's years, council services are on their knees, our environment and countryside is being vandalised for corporate profit ... the list goes on.

Starmer's not responsible for any of that, it all happened on the Tories watch (including your mate Anderson who thinks people should be able to live on a pittance, so long as it doesn't apply to him).

How anyone is going to address all that, answers on a postcard please. But it won't be Farage, he's responsible for a lot of it.
