Expand surely it has to come soon. They have destroyed that hospital that they said was on top of a Hamas command base, but their evidence of any base being there is flimsy to say the least. Millions of Palestinans are now said to be close to starving. So, if their intelligence is duff they're not going to destroy Hamas anyway, they have been played, they will not get their hostages back, and they will kill/injure/displace a huge amount of innocent Palestinians and in long term Israel will never be secure again. Wanting revenge is understandable, but this is another level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I guess the smart move for the Tories would be to now push for a ceasefire which would split Labour even further between what seems like the majority of their supporters and their Jewish counterparts. I think Starmer has really f**ked up here. Not a good look for a future PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 So tax cuts which will inevitably mean restricted funding for public services and cutting benefits. Tories being Tories.

steviewevie Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Tories always seem to do a good job in coming together and showing a united front in the lead up to an election, Labour less so...People's Front of Judea and all that. It's a tough job being leader of the Labour party, I wouldn't like to do it (even though I know I'd be really good at it). Cost of living, the state of public services, and chaos of last few years will probably do it for the Tories this time round, but it isn't nailed on..all those Don't Knows in those polls...what they going to do? But at moment the big poll lead for Labour does look pretty stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
