Yesterday I was pointing out how little effort this would take based on polling. And today a new poll puts electoral calculuses tory seat prediction from 66 to 27....
Imagin an opposition party challenging labours view on FPTP.
Oh I can tell you right now what their position is. Imagine this in a nasal clipped tone:
Now is not the time to think about such things. Our country is hurting from fourteen years of Tory government and we’re getting on with the job of improving the country for everyone whilst supporting our NHS. As such I’m announcing all nurses uniforms are to be made tax free.

Which is why the surge in young people voting Lib Dem or Green who have both been consistently offering a rejoin option can be seen in the polls… Oh 😳.
It is, of course, exacerbated by FPTP. But I don’t think we can just dismiss voting for other parties because FPTP favours Labour and the Conservatives.
My point is that people feel strongly about rejoining the European Union, with so much passion, with so much conviction… just not enough to vote in anyone that has promised to do anything about it 🤷. I don’t get it.
Imagine if in 2017 we had a bigger swing to a hung parliament more tipped in the Lib Dem or Green favour. You could argue neither would have won outright, but they could have been King makers in a hung parliament. Both would have been in a position to seriously put the brakes on a fledgling hard Brexit, maybe even demanded better scrutiny or reversal? Instead we got these anuses hell bent on destroying any good faith the UK had with the world and years of Tory infighting with Labour saying nothing in order to appeal to the Brexit voting Labour contingent in the North.
Of course the alternative is that rejoining the EU isn’t top on people’s priorities after all?
It’s probably time the Labour party moves on from the divisive and constant faux pas of Abbott. Recognise her contribution to the Labour movement but don’t give her a free pass to cause shit and discontent within the new government.
And, look, if she feels so strongly then start a party with JC. I’m sure she’ll have lots of backing. Or tear the Labour party up from the inside? 😅
