The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[Kid_Eternity]

Will agree that McDonnell a far more savvy politician than Corbyn. But it’s in the past it can’t be changed

Yep, great isn’t it?

It’s not an obsession it’s called an opinion on the worst phase of Labours history, Corbyn was a disaster and helped give us Boris as PM. Him being consigned to irrelevance is just basic karma given the damage he did to our country.

Firstly his name is Johnson. Cameron calling for a Brexit referendum gave us the cunt. Then everyone fell for the bullshit of the benefits of it ( lies on the bus etc) Corbyn had a massive following.
Didn't see starmer at glasto this year.

Yeah he has a steel to him which some find off putting…

All the steel of flubber. SCG is a joke.

Where the fuck is Rayleigh and Wickford?

 

[Silas Loom]

Goodness, a Con win.

 

[Calamity1971]

Where the fuck is Rayleigh and Wickford?

Where they made the chopper?

Yep, great isn’t it?

I’m glad we on this thread have the benefit of your extensive career in politics.

Where the fuck is Rayleigh and Wickford?

Essex wastelands

 

[JimW]

Where they made the chopper?

Got a grifter instead now.

I think he’d never let anti semitism flourish and would manage the media more effectively. He’s a very smart operator with sharp mind and quick thinker. Basically everything Corbyn isn’t, who’s easily one of the dullest minds in politics.

In an period of Conservative meltdown, with a more supportive press, without his own MPs and staffers stabbing him in the back, without the weaponisation of anti semitic... why do you think SIR KEIR STARMER is getting about the same share of the vote as Corbyn?

 

[Elpenor]

Good news JimW Stroud no longer a Tory seat

 

[YouSir]

Where the fuck is Rayleigh and Wickford?

1930s Germany judging by their votes.

You have no fucking idea do you? That is a pure lie. Read the Forde report have you? I doubt it. And the Labour Antisemitism Report? They show in detail that it was the right of the party in Labour HQ (you know: your mates and Starmer's mates on the right of the party) that allowed antisemitism to flourish, and Formby with Corbyn who cracked down on it. I'm willing to put your accusation down to ignorance so far but unless you can show those reports are incorrect I'm going to start calling you a liar.

and would manage the media more effectively. He’s a very smart operator with sharp mind and quick thinker. Basically everything Corbyn isn’t, who’s easily one of the dullest minds in politics.

How about Corbyn's policies? Which are actually what are important in all of this. You like to compare those to Starmer's policies?

The acoustics of a mezzanine when the protein starts shaking must make for horrific noises

But astonishingly great distance

Don't be daft.

 

[Bingoman]

Labour gain nuneaton

 

[moochedit]

The US news station would’ve projected winners by now. You are all very patient

Well we had an exit poll which is usually pretty reliable.

they don't release partial results here so we have to wait until they are all counted before a seat is declared. All no voting machines. All paper based.

By 3am (10pm new york time) there should be loads of areas declaring though.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

This was hilarious to watch live

 

[JimW]

Good news JimW Stroud no longer a Tory seat

Way ahead of you! Spotted it passing by on the ticker and posted upthread. Was a bit nailed on tbh

 

[Elpenor]

the noises are traditional but were removed after the Vatican II council

 

[Kid_Eternity]

This is something that too many people don’t generally appreciate:

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Stroud Labour gain! Knew but good to see.

Reform in 3rd place, urgh

 

[redsquirrel]

So, Starmer to get exactly the average of Corbyn's 2 results, by share of the vote.

It'll be interesting to see if the % of electorate voting Labour is lower than in 2019.

Starting to think Kid Eternity facts can rival tobyjugs

The old KE was a wet centrist but this new incarnation is just a twat

 

[belboid]

A lower vote than in 2019, let alone 2017

 

[DaveCinzano]

But astonishingly great distance

The air thick with glistening silken arcs, like fireworks reflecting off of glum clouds
