Don't forget the 3 million plus self-employed out there who were simply ignored too.... We're they ? Sure they could get bounce back loans that were on the never never? Nope. Check it out.

Could any of the likely Conservative voters help me out? This is a genuine question that I can't wrap my head around. The polls show that 20%+ of people are intending to vote Conservative. Without any reference to Labour, what part of the Conservative platform and the last fourteen years makes you actually want to vote for them? What makes them better than the alternatives? I cannot fathom it. Let's face it if you're still voting Conservative now then you probably always will - it's down to their core base who would vote for a lettuce if it had a blue rosette on it.

Trick question really as there isn't actually a Conservative govt to vote for. I won't be voting for these "conservatives". My vote will be spoiled..

Purely for balance otherwise Ofcom will shut us down.

I'm unapologetic for the corbyn spam. Are there a lot of voters on here that are registered to vote in Islington North?

Brilliant news....goooarrrrnnn Jezza!!! Already got 10k more likes than Starmers post 2 days ago when election was called. They keep trying to pretend Jezza wasn't popular but he has more support than any other MP in this country. The media can lie all they like but never in my lifetime has an MP got receptions like this up and down the country:
Starmer, sunak, Johnson and farage and Co. Can only dream of getting such receptions. He's not antisemetic, he's not unpopular. He's the man of the people that the media and establishment tried their best to manipulate and gaslight us over.

All sides do this sh1t tbf Bayern and if you don't think they do then that's nieve. Like when RS got out of a Kia Rio a5 the pump filling his car up.....I mean...come on. A kia rio. What planet is he on though? Who the hell is advising him? 1st day of campaigning ....2 huge own goals (fake members of the public, and asking Welsh workers if they are looking forward to the Euros!) Its like he's put all of his own money (and that's quite considerable!) on losing this Election. Seems hell bent on self-destruction. Indeed. First day, he makes a complete berk of himself in Downing Street and ends up being "Drownded and Out!" Second day, he couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.

YouGov polling by age, education etc. "Only the over-70s now tend to support the Conservatives, although even here just 39% say they will back the party... Reform UK also finds more support among older age groups, gathering 20% of the vote among Britons over-60. Labour are the most supported party among each age group under 70, with Keir Starmer taking an outright majority among voters under 50. Support for the Greens is higher among younger people, reaching 13% among the under-30s."

Shame then that voter turnout in those age 18-44 is about 20% lower than those 65+: researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-8060/CBP-8060.pdf

Has the age divide historically been this big? I know conservative support has always been higher among older folk, but Ipsos says the 2010 results were pretty even Lab-Lib Dem-Conservative among the youngest voters. Brexit, which was foisted by the older on the younger, was when I started noticing such a huge divide.

Cranny, do us a favour, mate. Whenever you post a link to Twitter/X, before you hit the 'post' button delete the 'x' in x.com & replace it with 'twitter', then your link will get embedded & people don't have to click on them to see what they're all about.

My takeaway on the hustings only two days in
Like the Brexit we got wasn't the Brexit it was supposed to be, although nobody can say what it was supposed to be. Likewise the Shy Tory's on here are phlegmatic to defeat because the Conservatives aren't actually Conservative.
My regret is I may have over ordered the Popcorn in anticipation of seeing mass humiliation of the Incompetents but most of the Rats are deserting the sinking ship.

It will all come down to how many apathetic and disgruntled Tory voters stay away on polling day / spoil their ballot / vote for someone else vs. those that put yet another X in the box when push comes to shove. What you actually do in the booth is a lot different to what you'll say you'll do in a poll.

The amount of new Tory candidates especially if they get good local people may invigorate the Tory vote especially in normally safe blue seats.
N Shropshire proves you parachute someone in added to bi-election govt apathy and the voters arnt having it

What you actually do in the booth is a lot different to what you'll say you'll do in a poll. I think there's a huge unknown in terms of the expat vote too. Personally think expats should be voting for representatives for them rather than voting in constituencies they no longer live in. Surely they should be voting for someone who represents their concerns instead. I hope there are statistics provided in terms of expat voting numbers.

Do we think Jonathan Gullis will get a second term in Stoke North?
Seems to be popular at least going off of Facebook. Appears people are conflating being a social media influencer with hard work.
