No one is listening though. Labour are being reported as re-nationalising the railways and the Government are now in the position of having to say re-nationalisation of the Railways is a bad idea. That's a big punch in the last round that the Conservatives are going to struggle to come back...

Will probably ensure a Labour win because most people won't look into the details. I'd imagine we might end up with the sort of public transport we have in London.

Come clean ? How could she have covered it up ? Nothing wrong with right to buy as she quite readily points out. Not replacing with other houses was the issue. Desperate. The right wing now attacking the working class for being aspirational and securing a roof over their head. That's where...

The reason Labour will win power is because of the Tories loyal support. The major strategic error the Tories have made is attempting to appease their core vote in case they defect to Reform. When they lurch to the right they glean back those voters but at the same time alienate those in the...

Labour split on the issue and the SNP and the Tories both trying to capitalise on that. No one really comes out of it very well. Except the Lib Dems of course who I can only imagine got a bit of West End shopping in whilst it was all going on.

No, firstly the world has changed and most voters haven't picked up a newspaper in years. Secondly as for mobilised Tories, my local ones refuse to talk about "national" issues and only local ones. The Tories are more split that Kinnock's party, I doubt they could mobilise anything with a...

I was going to post the same thing. The modern conspiracy theory trend has somewhat gone full circle and it's "back to blaming the Jews again". This has traditionally been a right wing thing, but then you get the complexity of Israel / Palestine, anti-capitalism, any friend of the USA is an...

Sunak has a problem in his party too. If the tabloids weren't so partisan, their London Mayoral candidate would be front page news as well. The Tories should have replaced her (like the previous one), but as her divisive comments play into a particular outer London base, they've cynically left...

No and I presume the stats are legit, but it is worth remembering this ones comes with an agenda. Especially the client journalism reporting of it. Together it shows a Conservative party at war with itself in a way only Jeremy Corbyn could compete with. Tories commissioning a poll to show how...

This poll was directly commissioned and funded by Tories, irrespective of the ownership of the company. They are using it to put pressure on Sunak to change direction.

Rail would be right down the bottom of my list for re-nationalisation. Water companies please.

Also Benn of course but they are a very broad church. The ones up the road from me famously have 2.6 million in reserves including their "shop" worth 1.3 million.

There are evidently all sorts of variation. You won't find many socialists like Corbyn who spent his entire career campaigning to leave the EU.

Analysis shows that Labour and The Conservatives have very similar records on the economy. ( and I'm talking about their normal form, not the Conservatives post Theresa May or a virtual Corbyn one that never existed )

Have to disagree, bloody authoritarian in Government and Blair broke the records in terms of unelected members of cabinet. I remember clearly the way the general public were treated in London under the guise of the "war on terror", it's a big no from me.

Not sure the Thatcher years were incompetent, however ideologically opposed you/I may be. That said the Falklands was a cock up, they could have avoided. But yes in the last few years. Off the scale. The pandemic exposed them. I was praying for a Government of national unity where anyone like...

And John Prescott. Was there for a reason, not great in front of a camera but did a remarkable job behind the scenes. I suspect the Tories "thought" Lee Anderson would perform a similar role.....

I'm not a supporter of either comrade, both suffered from external events beyond their control. With Labour the financial crash and the Conservatives the global pandemic. However, both created an environment (taking their eye off the ball) where the damage was far worse than it could have...

Understood, but this lot have hurt a lot of people who aren’t wealthy, posh or elitist without a safety net of state education. That's not a moral or political point, just an observation. As you know, I look at all these strategically. It won't damage their chances at the next election...
