I disagree with you. Labour has inherited a real mess, they always do after the Tories and they always get the blame for not 'curing it' within 18 months

That’s fair, you can disagree. But to clarify I wasn’t implying that systems can be reversed or new policies implemented and solved after 18 months. But they can & should redirect the conversation with facts instead of pandering to a voting block that will never be satisfied

Yeah pandering to Reform voters or even Tory voters wont end well for anyone, it's not like the right gives a fuck what the left thinks when they're in power, so do what makes your voters happy or risk losing them, Reform voters will never vote Labour to begin with.

Yes you are correct, no ReofrmUK voters was ever going to vote Labour, but they all take what Labour put in place for them, and risk losing it when their 'hero' Farage gets into Power. The really sad thing is, most Reform voters are the least able to afford what Reform will do.

It’s exactly the same with Trump and his policies though. The cruelty to what they view as ‘other’ overshadows all else. Until these attitudes can be put back in their box it will be an issue to be exploited

Maintaining the rhetoric will only alienate the voters that they can count on. Starmer should have stuck with Sue and shown Morgan the door tbh

It will only alienate those that never were really Labour in the first place. Until they and theirs's need what Labour put in place for them. It is my honest opinion, that Labour is getting the blame for what the Tory's did, and that is just fuelling ReformUK rise.

You may be right, I’m not a Labour voter so couldn’t comment. I don’t think that their policies with the WFP or not abolishing the 3rd child rule will do them any favours and these will linger in voters minds. The only vested interest I have is that Scotland get the gov that England vote for

SNP? Such a terrible shame what happened there. They will grow in strength again.

I have no problem with what you vote and which Party you support, that is your choice. But I am watching Trump trying and remove the USA's right to even have another election, and I know Farage is watching with interest too.

They all have the same paymasters, foreign governments and oligarchs. All believe in fascism and are pushing the ideology as normal very scary times indeed

Do they, sweeping statement that, who is Labours Paymaster, in fact who is the SNP's Paymaster? Do you really think Labour is Fascist?

I was referring to the limited company Reform, where dark money can funnel freely. But since you asked, at least 30% of the cabinet is sponsored by LFI and the remainder will be noted in their financial disclosures just like the SNP something reform doesn’t need to do as an ltd company

And I never implied Labour were fascist, Starmer has taken them more to the right than they ever have been but there’s a huge goosestep between that & fascism

I knew from the start that you were not a Labour voter But as I say most everyone despite what Political Party they wanted in power will gladly take what Labour gave us free at the point of need Our NHS will go when Reform get into power Farage has already told us that, he will not fund it from Tax

I vote SNP and will continue to bcos we have the best public services in the UK with progressive socialist policies at the forefront. done within a fixed budget with limited fiscal powers. However as I said I do have a vested interest due to the reserved powers and Labour are not meeting the moment

But again you have a different view, as you seem to be based elsewhere and that’s fine

And just to add, i am bitterly disappointed that they are not meeting this head on. Labour are infinitely better than the alternative, but they need to highlight the differences in voting for them not adopt some of the same rhetoric. The last thing I want is England to have a shitty government

Yes, I agree, but will the laws of Parliament allow the Labour or any other party to come right and and say ReformUK are far right racists? I remember when a Labour MPs was told to leave the House of Commons floor for calling a Tory MP a liar, and we all knew she was right.

Thank you, 18 months is too short for any Party to have reversed what the Tories did to us. I still say, moaning about Labour is only fuelling ReformUK. Oddly most ReformUK voters cannot afford what Reform will do to the UK, like privatise the NHS, & Farage has all ready indicated he will.

I moan about Labour bcos I vote for a more progressive party in the SNP and clearly have a separate vision for my country. But I stand by that appeasement is not the way to change minds and attitudes. Implementation can take time but communication of the facts doesn’t and Labour are not tackling it

For example see Brigit Philipson on this mornings news shows. They should be out there with facts to debunk the bile being pushed not sit on the fence
