We need a General Election

I've never really made my mind up about Sturgeon but I think some of the abuse she gets about her appearance is disgusting and says a lot about the people saying it.

Jacinda Ardern also hinted that she stepped down because online abuse was becoming exhausting. I think left-leaning women in particular get slaughtered and the media encourages it.

Lol deflection.

Straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

Worrying that they weren't hemorrhaging them for him thinking that some women have cocks.

The thing is, if you add the votes for Reform, Ukip and Britain First, the Tories would have held onto Tamworth. The far-right is still very strong (I include the Tories as far-right in their current form, or at least hard-right). The Lib Dems and the Greens barely managed 3% between them.

I think the only way the Tories can win the next election is to ramp up the racism, which they're having a good go at doing. I'm not so certain it won't work.

Will be interesting to see whether the Daily Mail tomorrow leads with Boris Johnson wanting old people to die, or whether we get a conveniently timed Madeleine McCann story or something.

Regarding Starmer, I think this Israel-Gaza thing could be bad news for him. His response to (largely unfair in my opinion) accusations of anti-Semitism within Corbyn's Labour was to decide that anything critical of Israel is anti-Semitic and to force out anyone who disagrees. He's made that bed and has to lie in it now. A cursory look at Israeli news sites shows that even most of them are not universally supportive of Netanyahu's actions and nor should we be. I expect politicians to do more than unconditionally support their "allies". He could easily lose the Muslim vote over this. A friend reminded me that Blair's Labour lost a constituency with a high Asian population to George Galloway in 2005. One of several reasons why I'm not as sure as some people are that Labour will win the next election.

Both Labour and Tory MPs are being punished for calling for peace and attempting to stop a genocide.

“Grown ups back in charge.”

I know this has just turned into a bit of a general politics thread, but surely its title rings truer than ever in light of today’s news.

They should put him in a plane. Then throw him out, with a 30p parachute.

Said it for a while but this lot are just cowboys and thugs. They have no respect for tradition, processes, authority or other things you would think conservatives would. They know perfectly well the Rwanda plan is unworkable, impractical and cruel but they don't care because it appeals to racists. Although the Supreme Court ruling is correct, in a way I wish they'd said "go on then, we dare you, and you can deal with the shit that comes from it". They're just going to kick and whinge about "red tape" now, and people will buy it.

And can we please ban them from saying "the British people" every time they spout any of this crap. You don't speak for me or any British person I know. Fuck off!

Imagine supporting the murder of thousands of babies and sacking people who don’t.

The “grown ups are back in charge”.

Disgusted that the head honcho of a racist political party who supports apartheid, genocide and ethnic cleansing was ever a director of our club. Makes me sick.

Forgive my ignorance but why did Starmer and most Labour MPs abstain from the motion on whether to support a ceasefire rather than vote against it?

But why abstain, is what I mean? If they're threatening to sack other MPs for siding with the motion, why didn't they vote against it?

Labour are failing me, they are not a party of the people anymore,just more of the same but dressed in red.

Its disgraceful but people will still vote for them.
I have all my life but not at the next election or likely to in the future.
Really not sure where my vote will go but it wont be red or blue,for sure.
