The Tories will not want to win they want Labour to clean up the last 15 years of shit and after maybe 10 years of Labour balancing the books they will get back in and steal it all again.
Last time that happened we got stuck with a huge raft of appalling PFI deals that weāre still paying for. The Tories are absolute shite, but donāt fool yourself that the new lot are going to be much better.

This has never happened
Brown spent everything and then some he didnāt have. He inherited an economy that was just starting to motor and instead of paying off the credit cards, he legged it down the shops. And when that ran out he took out loans and then flogged the family silver )gold) at the lowest price he could get
His last hurrah was to saddle us with two aircraft carriers we didnāt need, couldnāt afford and cannot supply with aircraft
The only difference between the shit show now and the shit show coming is the manner in which money will be hosed up the wall.

Excellent. Do we get to break away from British rule and become independent?

We get to break away from Tory rule and become civilised, honest and caring.
Assuming the great unwashed donāt get bunged more tax breaks in the next few weeks, forget about the last 14 years and vote Tory.
Anyway, itās now open season for political mudslinging. I dread to think how nasty itāll become

WTF? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and expecting a different outcome.
They created the shitty situation we have. They are not the solution to their own disastrous mess.

Yes, but as I think weāve established on here that principles, intentions and morals go straight out the window is there is short term immediate gain for many.
Corrected for you
Iāve just moved some stuff from the āThe Latest Newsā thread to here so things may seem a bit disjointed time wise.

To be honest the more I see of Starmer the more he makes me cringe, heās such a phony. Yesterdayās performance was a classic example, he speaks as if heās talking to primary school children. And when he keeps banging on about being āhumbleā, itās nauseating. He is the reincarnation of Uriah Heep, which is the image I canāt get out of my head now. Heās seriously creepy. And donāt get me started on the giant sized Union Jacks draped everywhere, itās so over the top. During the locals a few weeks ago I had a Labour person come knocking clutching a campaign leaflet which was festooned with red white and blue. I asked her if she was the National Front candidate, she stuttered and stammered and started banging on about how the Labour Party had changed. I told her she wasnāt wrong there, just a shame theyād morphed into the Tory Party. Told her Iād been a Labour supporter and voter for the best part of 60 years, but never again until they got rid of the charlatan closet Tory whoād lied his way to the leadership. She didnāt hang around to argue the toss.

As all respect, subtlety and nuance has disappeared from debate and has been replaced by immediate binary judgement, it seems an act of grim self harm to actually want to be an MP these days. As a result i have a grudging respect to those who want to put themselves in the front line, but only if they have some form of commitment to public service and not personal gain. This is something that has been missing for a number of years with an abundance of self serving Tories taking control of their party and is part of the reason why a change is needed. I donāt hold the view that Labour will be just as shit as the Tories, in the same way i wouldnāt write off a player who signs for Saints, before seeing them in action over a number of games. If Labour win, then they can be judged.

I was really hopeful that Keir wouldnāt be the fucking stooge he looks to be, but I am starting to REALLY worry heās just Tory light. We need a huge change in this country, and heās not going to be it. I look back now at JCās manifesto and I cringe in embarrassment that I wasnāt progressive/intelligent enough to actually see his policies could have really made a difference in the right way.

I truly believe that if they hadnāt shoe horned JC out of the way then they would be in power now.
