The Poolie Bunker

If there was a general election tomorrow, who would you vote for?

Labour

Tories

Reform

Other

Reform.
If that offends the migrant lovers.
Tuff shit.

Definitely Reform at this moment in time. This current governments priorities aren't my priorities.

Green.

Reform if you want a crash like the Truss tenure, Reforms figures for the economy just don’t add up, they would create a £50 billion black hole.
Me, maybe Tory as long as Badenoch wasn’t the leader,

And the Labour and Tories figures have added up too have they.... hardly...

abstain for what jamie says and farage being a one trick publicity seeker.

You have a short memory what Truss did where the BofE had to bail the country out, interest rates went through the roof forcing mortgages up and they have still not returned to days pre Truss. What Reform are proposing is twice as bad as Truss did, you need to read up on Reforms agenda.

Its 4 years off and it all will be different then............whatever that is???

Thing is I feel Reform would react quickly to failing policies if something wasn't working by listening to what the people say, the current incumbents and their hapless predecessors would ignore that and plod along with their misguided strategies paying no attention to what the electorate think, hence they have become so unpopular (in fact hated) in such a short space of time.

after labours great giveaway in there last year with people having short memories.

The one trick pony tag -Maybe Farage can't stop the boats but i'm damn sure he'd make the UK a far less attractive proposition for those boat loads of benefit scrounging illegals thinking of coming our way....Farage listens to people,economic policies can be tweaked. Give him time, he'll get it right..

How is Farage going to stop the boats, it was his fault they started coming in the first place, keep repeating pre Brexit we could have sent them straight back, not now though.

The AMMR or Dublin Regulation as it was known-Who takes any notice of that in the EU?It doesn't work,it's in tatters,jamie..Have you not noticed?

Farage wouldn't have a shitty soundbite quote like "stop the boats" anyway, anyone in their right mind knew that Starmer had no intention or means of conducting that particular ploy. Surprised he isn't putting more boats on for them.

Labour are now trying to rush through a bill to allow Palestinians to settle here.
Christ,most of the Arab country want nothing to do with them,but this bunch of loonies won’t to welcome them with open arms.

Looks like Reform could have a bit of opposition as 2 former members are talking about forming new partiy, Zia Yusef and Rupert Lowe

Rupert Lowe should be the leader of reform......... Another party just plays into Liebours hands......... Splits the votes even more

Reeves looked a broken woman yesterday.How long can she last in the job ? What a shambles of a party they are now.

The founders of the Labour party must be turning in their graves. Led by an aristocrat, put 4000 pensioners at risk of an early death by withdrawing WFA (their own figures), wanting to put 150,000 benefit claimants into poverty (again their own figures), reducing standards of living for working and middles classes while refusing to tax the super wealthy more, etc
They're everything the party was set up to stand against.
Tory's are pretty much on a level.
Reform have no clue, mind it's turning out that Labour don't either, so maybe a wildcard shot worth chancing.
Greens are nothing more than the Raving Lunatic Party with their ideology.
The choice is bleak, the country's f*cked, it's just a matter of how fast we decline further.

or ben habib either. cannot they learn from the london mayoral elections what vote splitting causes. farage did a good job by putting the illegal crossings into the public eye which the msm would never have done. that does not mean he is the ideal person to run a party or a country. he is not the first person from any party who can be described the same way.

You've got it in one. The country has been in decline for so long all any party can do is try to manage that decline. We have a population that is so selfish it only thinks what can the country do for me or how much can I get in handouts. Too many won't take responsibility for their own actions.The

Reform. Even if Nige couldn’t stop the boats he’s stop the handouts. Members of the invading Islamic army would be in a tented city on Benbecula.

Not Gunna slate her tears.
She's kept it private and we should respect that.

PMQ's time ain't the place to turn up feeling all emotional..And where was Rayner when she clearly needed help to get to the ladies room.

The party who voted against Labours Workers Right Bill a few days ago which will ban zero hours contracts and the hire and fire scheme, yep they are definitely going to look after the working class.

Johnathan Pies take on Labours first year,

Meanwhile the vast majority of the electorate must be wishing their whole term was over not just their 1st year!!
14 years of being nothing more than a party of empty headed protest. And worse, a Labour Party deliberately targeting the most vulnerable in society while encouraging a growing gulf between the haves and have nots. Corbyn s lot will take a huge share of the Labour core. Look forward to a coalition next time around.

I'm surprised Abbott hasn't jumped ship to join Corbyn...does she have a grape with Zarah Sultana raisin through the ranks?

Very good.

if only we could turn back the clock to when labour were left of centre and the tories were right of it the country might be in a better shape or at least we might have an idea of where its going. all our hopes now are from new protest parties who will only get votes to bloody the nose of the two main ones.

As long as the MSM are right wing and the Murdoch owned press nothing will change, even if Labour were doing ok, The Express, Mail,Telegraph, GB News etc they would find fault some where.
People quote one of Reforms policies is no tax if you earn £20000 or less, even the living wage is more than that, they are going to fund it by taxing the rest at a higher rate. It will benefit the pensioners though. It has been mentioned many times by financial institutions that Reforms figure don’t add up and would create a bigger financial black hole than Truss mini budget. Yes vote for change but be careful what you wish for.

Do you realise how ironic your last sentence is? Wasn't Starmers entire election campaign based on "Vote for change"?

Well he has done, a change to not looking after the working class, isn’t that what the Labour Party of old used to do ?
Never will a left wing party be in power again like the old Labour, MSM will see to that.

It'll be decades before you see a Labour government after this one.

How can you make a prediction like that, the Tories had 14 years, Labour 1 year, in 5 years will the electorate have forgotten all the 14 ‘good’ years of a Tory government. The Tories were against The Triple Lock, it would have been replaced, their policies would have been no different from Labour as Labour has adopted Toriy policies
There might be another Labour government in name only but not in principal a Labour Party which was founded on looking after the working class.

The Tory's were offering "Triple Lock Plus" which ensured the state pension could never be taxed.
The Tory's wouldn't have scrapped WFA for all pensioners as Labour did (and Labour fought against in opposition)?
I'm making that prediction based on 12 months of incompetence, impending infighting within the Labour party, their previous history of almost bankrupting the country which they seem to be following again, their continuing persecution of the old and vulnerable, etc
Just a hunch Jamie!

its not being pedantic but the tories never had 14 years of power. there first term was a pact with the lib dems and that possibly made them more centralist in there next years on there own. then replaced by another centralist labour party. big question is will we ever see an old style labour or tory government again instead of like you say in name only. never has there been an easier time to cross the chamber to feel the same with your old opposition party.

Vlog by a lifelong Labour Party member, he is extremely angry !

I've always voted Labour but never again...unless something drastic happens.
But I wouldn't be so stupid to vote Reform.

like many you voted for a labour party that is only that in name only. as for reform they do not offer reform unless your only interest in life is stopping the boats which is not nailed on anyway if they came into power.

Greens, the only party that said they would tax the rich, both individuals and big corporations The way I see it, you can't have a progressive society without doing this. Mind you I'm not stupid and realise its easy to say you are going to tax the rich, when you have little or no chance of getting into power. When Labour say they are going to do this, then I will know they have finally woken up from their 30 year Coma.

Stupid enough to vote for labour though

Where was Lindsay Hoyle today when Farage was constantly heckled and disrupted at PMQ's today..What an absolute disgrace it was.

We know who that Hoyle supports!!

A take on Farage incident at PMQ,
https://youtu.be/q3_YAcnZriY?si=6w0rNw3KoC8Jh2N9

Hoyle began his first full parliamentary term in the role on 17 December 2019, having been UNANIMOUSLY RE ELECTED after the 2019 general election which Tories won with an 80 seat majority. Why didn’t they select and elect a Tory candidate when they had a majority ?

Ive noticed a major influx of Arab invaders entering Hartlepool in recent weeks.
I watched an episode of garden rescue last week.

And they wanted an Islamic garden!

I was just waiting for one of the landscape gardener's to say:

Where shall we Plant the bombs

i cannot get my head around sending them to places like hartlepool where they stand out like a sore thumb. its creating problems that would not be there if they had been allocayed to big cities and towns in areas there was a high percentage anyway.

It was obvious from Starmers words this morning about the woefully inept "50 a day" agreement... "delivering what the British people want" not what he wants, he wouldn't want to send anyone back whether here illegally or found to be a criminal, pompous oaf.
