I think I posted 1 tweet about Germany randomly that wasn't quoting anyone in the politics thread not the only "tweets that say yay labour boo tories" thread.

Isn't that why there was an attempt to restart the other thread because you and Ozanne only try to allow those sorts of posts?

ok..whatever....cba...

I just want honesty, if you are a Tory then own it.

You really are a c**t aren't you 😀 

As I said... always voted Labour at every general election

In 2019?

You just seem to love Boris or Rishi and slag off labour and Starmer continuously...

he's not a tory, he's a social democrat.

And I'm an anarcho-communist.

3 labour, 4 lib dem, 1 tory. I'm a swing voter like the majority of the population.

You seem intent on labelling everyone who ever challenges you a Tory and I don't really get it. It's not conducive to any form of debate and it's also not exactly going to convince people that may be Tories or even slightly right-leaning to listen to you?

Ok.. How pissed off Owen Jones is at labour then. When he's above a certain level i'm back to voting labour.

I watched his YouTube video from conference and he seemed reasonably balanced in terms of policy platform. In personally find his piling on Starmer very counterproductive as anyone who is put off voting Starmer because they see Starmer as dishonest makes a Truss election win more likely. The reality is his choice RLB would have left the party divided and behind in the polls

I didn't want Boris or Corbyn.  I thought they would be disastrous for the country for different reasons.

In the end I voted Labour because I liked our local MP.  Sadly he lost to a Tory.  

Next election I will be voting Labour as anything has to be better than what we currently have. 

ah right. Trolling then.

How is that trolling ?  

You really are stupid...   

I think Boris got some things right and most things wrong.  I think Rishi got more right than wrong.

I may be stupid, infact I am stupid...but you are a trolling c**t and you know it and I'd better put you back on ignore. Didn't take long.

That’s not entirely true, look at debate we’ve had here today seems pretty decent when I wasn’t getting personally attacked.

You either want a Labour government or you would want a Tory one in my mind because those are the only parties that can realistically form a government.

The first 5 or so minutes of this explain the economic issues pretty well.

There's clearly a lot more nuance to it than that though. People are perfectly entitled to want the Tories out but be critical of Starmer and his record/pledges.

Of course they are and I’m entitled to see them in that way. Again I’m not saying no one can do any of this.

Woop woop.

Surely some of the backbencher MPs must be getting uncomfortable with all this mayhem? Is Boris pissing himself?

My MP was Rishi's biggest cheerleader and has just said nothing, I have looked at a few Sunak supporters on Twitter and they seem to have the same approach.
