My ward...

TACTICAL VOTE

TORIES UNLIKELY TO WIN HERE

VOTE FOR YOUR PREFERRED PROGRESSIVE PARTY

[Guest]

I can vote Labour in my ward, Labour control the council anyway ❤️

[Ryan1984]

This seems quite the take? 

Just had the Tories canvassing at my door and their whole pitch was “If the Labour Party get in, they will destroy this town”. No reasons why.

I’m assuming they have evidence that non Jews with similar views are treated differently?

[Neil]

the only line Corbynites have left is to pretend everyone else is as bad as them!

desperate.

I’m pretty sure the hard left are determined to do anything they can to make sure we stay under Tory rule.

I think a lot of it is a sense of betrayal...the left had finally got control of the Labour party, and now have lost it. Many feel that the antisemitism was exaggerated, or even just totally fabricated in order to bring them down by the right of the party. Starmer was elected by the membership with many promises that he has since reneged on, and now the left are being squeezed out of the party. Starmer is enemy no.1, and I'm sure some of those would prefer a tory victory to a Starmer premiership.

Doesn’t really matter either way. The only thing determined at the next election is the colour of that Tory rule. Will it be blue tories or red tories?

The left are marginalising themselves with their own stupidity. Corbyn and abott squeezed themselves out of the party.

Apparently we're all being invited to shout out "May the King live forever" next week! WTF? - you're gonna die, just like the rest of us, you silly c**t!

Will be very interesting to see how the poll lead translates at the local elections.

My own belief is that the migration of left wing votes like mine to the greens will be much more significant than quoted, and that the liberals being put off by Starmer’s authoritarianism will mean the Lib Dems also do well.

Theres no doubt Labour will gain but the extent of that gain will be more limited than forecasted imo.
