How are Labour doing after their first 12 months


  • Total voters

We could've just not given 12bn to the little coke head ponce from Ukraine.


Radical idea I know.
 
Would love to know who conducts the polls for "More in Common."

I think the Tory party could cease to exist and they would still somehow find a way to give them a 1pt lead over whoever is actually the largest party in the UK, it's blatant that the Tories pay for these polls to give them a bit of good press.

Lib Dems are conveniently given a 12% by More in Common who shove the extra points onto the Tories, they do that in every single poll.

Yougov realigns and follows the ongoing trend, giving the Lib Dems 16% and putting the Tories back down. If the current numbers hold (which is unlikely) the next government will certainly have to be a coalition.

I never see any polls, I obviously don't see the sources that supply them. Although I don't read any media apart from the local rag, and nationally only if I'm wanting to look something up to confirm or retrieve information on an event that's occured

I love a good poll, but will openly admit that at this moment they're not worth the time or effort tbh.

It's so early into Labours run and they have tons of time to introduce some popular policies or change the politics a bit to make people positive, all while Reform seem to have hit a ceiling and the Tories are utterly pointless.

The only current party who are gaining in every poll is the Lib Dems and I can't see them being much higher than 16%.

Oh sorry, apart from More In Common who are a Tory plant.

I was listening to Badenoch today in the Commons, I didn't have a clue what the **** she was going on about...something about schools and mobile phones, I'm like Reeves is like moments away from annoucing the Spring Budget, and that's all the Tory leader has to chat about, and then repeat the same **** two or three times...I'm like no one cares, move on ffs.

I think the womans completely out of her depth. I sometimes watch PMQs and I haven't heard her ever say something worth while. You're sitting about waiting for Ed Davey and Nigels turn to introduce some actual opinions, Badenoch has absolutely nothing to say.

How many times have you heard Badenoch ask Starmer something, he answers and she replies "YOU DIDNT ANSWER THE QUESTION" which he just did. She has a pre-planned response to everything and she hits a wall if he says anything she isn't expecting. She's woeful.

Davey or Farage would be a much better opposition leader.

I could see Rachel Reeves was feeling the strain today, but that's what that sort of job does to you, especially when you are getting challenged by the media every five mins. I certainly can't see any other party stepping up at the moment, or not one that gives me any confidence. I think the only real one I've got the hump with his Wes Streeting and I never use to mind him, I've lost all respect for anything he says now, which is a shame because he's always come across as proactive, how he could come out with his MH comments, knowing this Country has seen two traumatic events in the Nottingham and Southport attacks, just left me stunned, careless and callous jibberish.

As much as I dislike what Farage stands for, I actually think he'd make a better oppo leader than Badenoch, as she's just a ****in wet lettuce.

He'd be an absolute walking disaster if he actually had to govern mind.

I think she's only allowed so many questions during question time, but she gets more because they are considered the main opposition....I think it's four questions, but I've not researched if that's accurate....and what does she do, she wastes every ****ing question with the same nonsense.

I actually agree with you on this.
 
My uncle rolled one of those on a bridge down in Sussex.

Thankfully they were never fast enough to ever cause any serious damage.

I'm not sure what sort of engineering benefits anybody ever thought would be an improvement by removing a front wheel lol


None whatsover, but you could drive one unaccompanied, on a provisional license, because it was technically a motorbike <ok>

Rachel Reeves was on radio 4 the other day and she said that she actually finds the personal criticism quite tough to take. I guess it's part of the job and something you have to be prepared to deal with, but at the end of the day she's only human. And she's doing a job where you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

At least it shows she cares I guess. Far too many politicians seem not to really give a **** as none of it really affects them personally like it does your average day to day working person.

I saw her in an interview after the budget, and she looked on tipping point to me, but I thought she probably never slept last night, having a last minute scramble to make all the numbers stack up.
 
You're right, I forgot you could drive them on a motorbike licence...not sure about the provisional bit though.


Yeah, I might have the details a bit wrong. But when I used to work at Camden market back in the day, one of the traders had one to carry his stock about, Del Boy style - because he hadn't passed his driving test yet.

I might have this wrong, but I'll give it a go. Back in the day I'm sure you could ride a 1000cc motorbike on a provisional, so I assume the plastic pig came under that. But then to stop kids like me killing ourselves, they reduced it down to 250cc and anything more needed to be on a motorbike licence....so thinking now after you saying that, it is highly probable he did drive it on a provisional. I think then it got reduced to 125cc and so on and so forth.
