And personalities. Its really not rocket science " They have a policy. Everybody that earns over 70k as a single person despite having a partner who earns nothing is "rich" and needs to pay more tax as is anybody who has saved for retirement with a pension fund.It's the threat about excessive taxation to create fairer societies that make them unelectable in recent years. | |||

" Conservatives lost their majority on Cambridgeshire County Council after Labour didn't field candidates in 6 key seats. Lib Dems took all of them. BBC link: https://t.co/9W9oFDpKvd It wasn't an official electoral pact but this is how you get change. Labour have spent too many years arguing about with themselves about who has the reddest underpants, meanwhile Johnson persuades poundland Hitler to stand down candidates. Result? 80 seat majority. Neither end of Labour have been willing to compromise on anything. It's like watching Newcastle players fighting on the pitch in the 90s. Austerity 2 is almost certainly on the way and our best chance of avoiding it is ruined because people on the same side let their egos get in the way of progress. " What they need to do is form a coalition with the greens and the snp. There is no way they will defeat the tories on their own | |||

"Labour won't recover in time for the next election. Particularly as nobody seems to be making noises about removing SKS presently. Noticeably they have already started arguing amongst themselves, with even one resigning! And even if they do start the process of leadership change, there will be an internal war and then a path to peace, and then they will have to try to convince the public they are fit for office again. While looking back at the mess they were in. There is no type of crocodile smile that can hide that from voters. That kind of softening of feeling towards them will take time. Thursday 2 May 2024, Next UK GE. It's just not happening for Labour. " That's a long time yet, plenty could happen,Boris might decide to resign in 2023 and cause a big split in the party, the eu might beg us to rejoin and say we can have our cake and eat it. Complacency is the biggest danger and not delivering on the promises to the north. | |||

"If labour cannot win a majority by itself, as it's so proven then how do you expect a coalition of three parties to work? Labour and the greens I can just about see, although their policies would have to move a lot closer, the SNP would be too nationalistic with their policies. Good for Scotland perhaps but not so for the majority. The arguments between the three parties would not lead to good governance. Just to get the Tories out! Nose and face come to mind. For your info, I've not voted Tory in a ge for many years. " Sutely the point of a coalition party is to work through your differences? | |||

"Without a doubt ,they are in the wilderness..some problems are through their own making, some out of their control. They have lost Scotland to the snp and their core support in the north has fragmented. The big cities have largely ,stayed loyal whilst the smaller cities have increasingly felt disenfranchised over the last 20 years,and have drifted over to the far right policies of ukip,Brexit and the tories. Anyone who thinks this is nothing to do with immigration is deluded Whilst the party themselves is massively split between moving more to the right or retaining the more social Democratic policies of the corbyn era." Some of the 'red wall' constituencies and places like Hartlepool have been left behind and that includes during the time of Blair's project, can fully understand why they might think let's try the other lot.. That's not to say i think the Tories genuinely will level up the north and other parts of the country, time will tell.. If they do then Labour however much it comes back to the centre will be in opposition a while yet.. | |||

What they need to do is form a coalition with the greens and the snp. There is no way they will defeat the tories on their own Disclaimer. My observation I'm not ridiculing anyone. From my observation over the last two decades. David Miliband is the only person right now who associate with the Labour party that can win back power form the Tories. The majority of the British public don't really care about the message but rather very keen on the messenger. The messenger most have certain characteristics including big personality, energetic, presentable, easy on the eyes or looking very good on television, assertive, adopt a three word slogan that easily resonate with people. knows how to conducted themself on television by looking directly in and speaking in the camera and not to the reporter sideways. Majority of the British people love celebrity so the leader have to can fit in that category. Look at some comparison Gordon Brown VS Divid Cameron. Gordon Brown didn't have any of the above, he makes allots of people cringe looking at him on television. Cameron VS Ed Miliband. People associate Ed Miliband has a nerd. Theresa May VS Jeremy Corbyn. The reason why May narrowly win, people associate her with a frail Auntie against Jeremy Corbyn has a tramp. Keir Starmer will not stand a chance against Boris Johnson, he is too soft and he is tided up with Jeremy over the Brexit. Please don't kill me now it's just my observation I'm not ridiculing anyone.

"Centrist tories include the likes of John major, who has criticised alex in the past,and Kenneth Clark, who was punished by Alex for not voting how he wanted. They are miles away from Johnson, and if you think he is centrist, God knows what a right wing Tory looks like." Whose Alex ? | |||

You were the one who claimed alex was a centrist
He has demonized immigrants and looked at putting them on an island in the middle of the Atlantic,he has cut overseas aid,during Brexit he often used ww2 rhetoric,he has done nothing to address the school dinner fiasco,he has frozen public sector pay and sought to make protests practically impossible,including defacing a statue getting 10 years inside.
Let's just say my idea of a centrist and yours are slightly different. | |||

"As an outsider looking in.... ... There is another civil war coming in the Labour Party. Kier "I take full responsibility" Starmer, instead turns on Angela Rayner, much to the annoyance of many. A shadow Cabinet reshuffle is inevitable. Labour has many very competent and likeable MPs. I list Bridget Phillipson, Rachel Reeves, Stella Creasy and Tulip Siddiq, as many of the ones that I like. Others are there. They could easily appeal to the wider voter base. Andy Burnham speaks with a burning Socialist desire, something I don't see in Kier Starmer. Labour cannot win a GE on London, Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol and Manchester alone. They have to get the North and some of Scotland back. So here's a radical plan. Base themselves in the North and fight from there. London is assured, Sadiq Khan has his second term, go North and and spread the message from there. " I think getting rid of raynor could be the final straw. | |||

So. Therefore, NOT 'got rid of'. | |||

Police funding comes mainly from local government and in our area their budget has increased by at 5 % every year that's under tory control. The unmentioned issus is the cost of police pensions and allowing them to retire at 55, the same goes for the nhs and most public services, pensions are far far higher than a company could afford or a private one provides, this is where the money goes. | |||

Last 11 GE results for labour Lost, lost, lost, lost, Blair, Blair, Blair, lost. Lost. Lost , lost.....they moved away from Blair or from Corbyn's loony left??"

"Without a doubt ,they are in the wilderness..some problems are through their own making, some out of their control. They have lost Scotland to the snp and their core support in the north has fragmented. The big cities have largely ,stayed loyal whilst the smaller cities have increasingly felt disenfranchised over the last 20 years,and have drifted over to the far right policies of ukip,Brexit and the tories. Anyone who thinks this is nothing to do with immigration is deluded Whilst the party themselves is massively split between moving more to the right or retaining the more social Democratic policies of the corbyn era. Some of the 'red wall' constituencies and places like Hartlepool have been left behind and that includes during the time of Blair's project, can fully understand why they might think let's try the other lot.. That's not to say i think the Tories genuinely will level up the north and other parts of the country, time will tell.. If they do then Labour however much it comes back to the centre will be in opposition a while yet.. The bit I dont get is they felt left behind by new labour as it moved to the centre,so in protest they decided to move for a party who was even more right wing.
