If you're angry about that you're going to be furious when you find out about Boris's 'Garden Bridge' or HS2.

It’d be great to get a decent public transport system in place, I’m all for it.

Just had a leaflet (more like a mini magazine TBF) through the door from a fella called Chandra Kanneganti.
Apparently, we're all worrying about nothing, everything in the Stokie garden is rosy and the country is doing great 😄
I honestly haven't had such fictitious bollocks through the door since we stopped having Roy of the Rovers delivered in the mid 80s.

After a negative week for Labour they have smashed the Tories
Reform did well but even if Tories had all their votes they would still have lost
There's no doubt now we are heading for a Labour landslide

After a negative week for Labour they have smashed the Tories Reform did well but even if Tories had all their votes they would still have lost There's no doubt now we are heading for a Labour landslide The Reform vote was disappointing and just goes to show how hard it is to break through. They've got to get Farage out as the face of it to have a chance of winning seats. Ben Habib is an absolute class act too but the reality is, most the country still don't know who Reform are and it doesn't matter how sensible, popular or reasoned your message is as a party, if people know you, they aren't going to vote for you. How Ed Davey has retained his job is beyond me. A total catastrophe for the Lib Dems and their fellow eco zealots in the Green Party.

Conservative vote dropping like a stone. Tories aren't voting Labour they're just not turning up. Lib Dems may as well call it a day. Reform votes stopped Tories retaining Kingswood and could be a danger to so-called Tory "safe seats" by splitting the vote.
To conclude, the Tories are toast.......

The electorate have had enough of the Conservatives but they aren't enthused by Labour's offering either. Not surprising really as Starmer is offering some minor tinkering round the edges as the 'alternative'. I think both parties are fortunate that there isn't a genuine populist movement right now as people would probably be willing to vote for it.

Starmer will win the next election but it'll be by default and on the the back of mass apathy which leads the door open to a genuine 3rd alternative when the electorate realise that not a lot has actually changed.

Think I heard farage or one of his chums say he wouldn't do anything to help Labour into power. And by the look of it a vote for reform is only going to sap at potential tory votes. So I doubt farage is going to help them. Unless it got to a point where the dial moved that much on reform as more people become aware of them, then he might pop up late in the day. He'll be keeping his powder dry I guess.....

An early October Autumn Statement with some more sweetie's dispersed swiftly followed by a short Election Campaign to try and salvage the wreckage

Re REform, I don't see them as a serious party, so thought they got a good number of votes I guess if someone was expecting them to become a serious force in British politics then yes their numbers would be disappointing not sure how long they will be around surprised UKIP still exist though tbh Lib Dems & Greens both do relatively well in some places & very badly in others
