Shows how limited a left to right spectrum is; the Lib Dems privatised Royal Mail ffs, that’s how left wing they are. Labour, meanwhile, are committed to introduce a worker’s rights bill to Parliament in their first 100 days, which is democratic socialism at it’s best.
Think Bill Cash is dead but still an MP. Same for Ian Duncan Smith, who was odds on to lose his seat, but there’s been some Labour infighting as the local guy was jettisoned for his pro Palestine Twitter action.
I remember the Portillo moment really well because Stephen Twigg, the Labour candidate, had visited my workplace the week before. And he came back after getting elected, don’t think he ever quite got over the surprise. Enfield Southgate, think the Tories won it again in 2010 then Bambos Charalambous won it back for Labour in 2017. There’s money in them there hills, was true blue for years, but in London the comfortable middle classes don’t vote Tory anymore.
Is making up a load of bull **** about a certain countries nuclear capability and then invading the country causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people, a left wing thing to do?
But what about the royal mail! Was ****e when it was state owned, delivers great now and has a way better tracking system.
Apart from in Medway a load of Labour voters aren't going to get their postal votes in time. (affects all parties obviously). They might have sorted it now, but must be causing a hell of a lot of confusion, when they realise they might be best dropping it into a polling station. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8vdq4j4v6no.amp
You have that completely the wrong way round. Quality of service figures, which were streets ahead of all it’s rivals before privatisation, have collapsed in recent years. The only thing going up is the cost of a stamp. The service is on it’s arse mate, and the figures show it.
Where do you get this information from Archers? https://www.posteurop.org/blog/royal-mail-full-year-quality-of-service-2023-24/
74.5% of first class delivered next day ffs. I’d have been sacked for that, seriously. We were expected to hit the high 90s every day They’re in debt too btw, but still paying dividends to their shareholders. If you’re just going to Google **** to try and win an argument online, do a bit of actual homework.
Tbf, Royal Mail is shhite now, post seems to take ages arriving, and have had stuff stolen as well, oops sorry I mean lost. Use to know the time by the postman arriving because he was so punctual, like clockwork. Now it arrives when it does.
Surprised nobody mentioned Jeremy Hunt unless I missed it. He's ****ting it. One of the more likely to go.
I'll watch the exit poll. Then I may stay up to watch the first few results come in. They reckon first one will be about 10.50pm. What I want to know is which result will show how bad or less bad the night will be for the tories OR how good or huge it'll be for Labour? There's always one result they talk about. I remember in 1992 when I think it was David Ames who either won or held the seat and that was a key indicator Major was going to remain PM. I'm sure there was an opposite result somewhere in 1997 which indicated a landslide for Blair... think it was Gillingham.
Rehman Chishti is/was the current MP for Medway (Gillingham & Rainham) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rehman_Chishti Also a Gillingham fan.
I fact checked this ... your top match was the Women's Equality Party ... you've been fibbing... ... and proof of the old adage that 'you can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make it think' ... or was it something to do with a horse? ... oh well, it's late...
