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

When you look at the last 14 yrs when the UK voted the right wing Tories in time and time gain, they ignored the more left wing Corbyn is it any wonder Starmer took Labour a bit more to the right to wrestle power from the Tories But that does not make them Tories, which I think is where we started

Erm Corbyn got more votes than Starmer, it was a low turn out election so there’s is appetite there so there’s that

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

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.
