Bloody hell what a thumping! Blimey there must be many thick uneducated right-wing knuckle draggers. 73%!
There really is a lot of nonesense here Beth. The Government contributed to deaths by making early mistakes, but by no means "greatly". They've pumped billions "into" the economy and kept millions of people afloat with grants and furlough schemes. How have they eroded civil rights? By imposing necessary social distancing etc? Of course they're not responsible for our mental health crises. That is the fault of the pandemic. I'm no fan of Boris or a lot of the ministers in his government, but this scatter gun approach of simply aiming crap at the government for no other reason than because they're Tories is a prime example of why Labour are fast becoming irrelevant outside London. Instead, perhaps concentrate on why Labour are so unelectable. If there was a decent centre left Labour opposition, they'd have a good chance of getting my vote. I can't see that happening any time over the next few years.
The first to fall on his sword and unlike a few he won’t have missed the point (pun intended). Labour MP says his party is failing because it's been taken over by Londoners and 'woke warriors' MP Khalid Mahmood has given a damning truth about Labour. I reckon a few on here should read his resignation speech.... they may learn something about Labour. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/labour-mp-says-party-failing-20551438

please log in to view this image Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana It seems this needs saying: Labour did actually win Hartlepool in 2017 and 2019. Last night, devastatingly we were almost *25 points* down compared to 2017. To inspire change, we need a hopeful vision for Britain, promising to build a country for the 99%, not the 1%.
Dad: Who was that at door? Son: A Labour Party Canvasser. Dad: What did they say? Son: That you voted Brexit and you're a bigoted racist fascist who didn't know what you were voting for. Dad: Anything else? Son: Yes - can they count on your vote?
