Starmer's vision quest

Rishi says "Labour don't have a plan". Maybe he is right, but i know Rishi has a plan. Private Jet to California in time for the Christmas holidays...

It never ceases to amaze me that people vote for the Conservatives. They only exist to represent the interests of capital, which, if allowed, conflict directly with the interests of most people. It ought to be obvious that the likes of Sunak and Rees-Mogg will not for one second put the interests of the majority above their own.

It's as if there is still a residual cultural memory of cap-doffing to the ruling classes with the monarchy at the pinnacle.

Rich people getting richer and poor people getting poorer = success.

Rich people getting less richer and poor people getting less poorer = failure.

Richard Tice told me at a Royal Navy gala whilst i was educating him on the intricacies of HMS Nelson (28) 16inch main battery guns and how i would like to stuff him and Ben Habib in them with room even for Anne Widdecombe, who is wider than she is tall admittedly and fire them somewhere towards the middle of the Atlantic....

Pity i woke up that day....

Interesting that Reform UK came 3rd in both seats. Stealing votes from the conservatives.
The Lib Dems were nowhere.
Labour have moved right and stolen the Lib Dem vote.
UK Elections are always won in the centre.

Did you hear Rich Smug this morning saying Labour won only because people didn't come out and vote Conservative. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.

There is some truth in that I suppose, but imagine being so disillusioned with your own party you can't even be arsed to vote for it.

I think the real damage to the Conservatives will be done when they hit the campaign trail. Sunak looks like a deer in the headlights at the best of times, and I can't see that improving any time soon.

Richard Tice is very pleased with the result, proclaiming that Reform are "coming of age" ... That's right Dick. About 85 years old ay it?

I'd say this is a pretty good vindication of Starmer's electoral policy.

What policy? Not being a Conservative Candidate? He's got that one nailed.

His election strategy is neither in doubt nor disputed. It's his policies that are contentious.

What does it say in their manifesto?

I believe it's "don't do anything to upset anyone" or "keep schtum until elected".

Well he's already failed then. Awful manifesto pledge.

I think you'll find there isn't a manifesto yet.

Typical Elexei Sayle.
Boring. Still, he managed to make a career out of being pure shouty.
