‘Deep electoral trouble’ for the Conservatives after Andy Street loss | Sir John Curtice 

😂😂😂

Good on them for trying to deport illegal immigrants. The metropolitan unliberals are clueless

But they DO make a certain kind of person all excited.

​@@LordOfLightBraverman is wetting herself.

it work for Susan "racist" hall 800,000 knuckle draggers and gammons voted for her .

Good! Maybe tories will have a bright ideas and do a last minute leadership swap and in thier wisdom deliver another fruit nut like Nadine dorries as leader and PM and make it even worse for themselves

Not necessarily, we will soon find out in Autumn..

@@pennymcneela7095 There is no recovery from this defeat. Have a bit of faith and confidence that Labour will win the general election. We cannot afford another Tory government because the country is now broken. Ok, hope that helps.

That because if sunak

Let them go full steam ahead faster if they want. If they not bright enough to realise people don’t like what they do tgen all the better for the country

I hear they have a plan and are sticking to it.

@@marksimons8861 Though God knows what their wretched 'plan' is.

Be reassured. Labour 1,158 councillors 186 councillors gained Liberal Democrat 522 councillors 104 councillors gained Tories 515 councillors 474 councillors lost

There is nothing wrong with FPTP all you PR algorithms are merely a way of removing democracy. If you want to win an election put forward policies that people want and dont rely on some bizarre mathematical formula to cheat your way to power. One person one vote counted once and the person with the most votes wins simple fair and effective.

@@deeingalaplike My reply saying much the same thing has been removed what ajoke this place is

Do you se FPTP ever being abolished?

Be careful what you ask for. Getting rid of FPTP will get you coalition governments, but not necessarily more effective government.

They still have a majority so yes they do. Just because you dont like them does not mean they dont have a mandate. Elections have consequences

Neither do Labour

​@@sylviabaxter265That's why an election is needed. Even after that the vote for the govt, whoever it is, will be by the minority of people. 56% didn't vote for the tories last election.

​@@royboy565but that is the fault of those who don't vote.

​@@rodbenson5879No, the figure I quoted is of those who voted. Every election since the 1950s have given us govts who never reach 50%of the votes cast. Nobody can possibly know what non voters think.

Because the majority of the press are funded by offshore right wing tax dodgers who must push hatred for profit

They have money to make noise

@@rosiegiesler4705 - And everyone wonders where that money comes from.

They just want to take our rights off us so they can move closer to a right wing dictatorship

Exactly, they are deluded if they think culture wars is the way to go.

​@@TheVicarMarxism is Left Wing .

There is one word that everyone seems to have forgotten. That is Covid and the ramifications that caused.

​@@colinc.8742Even before covid we had record NHS waiting lists and a record debt then of 1.3 trillion, it's now at a record 3 trillion. This is the worst govt ever to hold office in the UK.

Dolphin's are extremely intelligent creatures, so we'd probably be a lot better off with them than the Tories.

It's odd, gets elected as an MEP for 2 decades, the very place remoaners want to rule us.

Ensure that happens ... just to keep Farage in check ...

Sounds fishy to me.

Depends what their porpoise is...

Sunak looks more like Comical Ali every day.

​@@tolremWoof!

No it isn't, numbscull.

🤣

A majority. I do not think it'll be massive personally. Looking forward to it though!

​@@davidk7262Starmer has Galloway breathing down his neck, he made a point he would stop Starmer from getting in to number 10.

😂😂😂

IF......

Me too!👏👏

Please, be smart and vote tactically. I just want this incumbent out, they're dangerous. First it was the EU and now they're gunning to take away our rights by leaving the ECHR.

Do you want your head feeling if you vote Green the Green party is a destructive party founded or no basis at all totally fake agenda

If you love your country vote reform it Could be your last chance to save Britain

Yes, but GB is now stuck with Brexit. Labour cannot reverse this. The Brexit ruin is actually going to get worse once trade controls and border controls actually start (not that this will stop Brexit immigration whih can no longer be stemmed as GB is not a signatory of the Treaty of Dublin).

@@Andrew-vx2ls Brexit Re-entry Vote for 2026 is on the cards after Labour win.

@@ArtyFactual_Intelligence Ask anyone in Europe, GB can do all referenda it cares to, but re-entry requires the agreement of the 27. You seem to think that everyone wants to see the English back! Given the xenophobia shown with brexit, it is highly unlikey before the 40s. You seem to forget that brexit cost many people their livelihoods and pensions.

No, no one is.

@@anonUK Funny, 800,000 idiots in London did !

Lots of people are 25% ffs

25%, yes, but the real question is why.

Plebs, racists, the thick.

They don't have a majority and Galloway is hoping to stop Starmer from getting in number 10..

@@pennymcneela7095 Galloway who?

@@erikaverink8418🤣. He’s awful

@@erikaverink8418 Yes they probably are, but you will regret it.

@@colinc.8742 Let's hope they tax you to the limit.

Look at their wonderful performance: 2 seats!!!

Vote reform get islam

People have found out about Reform. And what people want is REAL chicken. Not regurgitated sludge.

You are a dreamer. Labour have as much chance of turning it around as a super tanker in a canal. They will be off on another tax and spend spree as they have always done. The unions will be looking for a return on their investment. Best wishes to you.

@@colinc.8742 Typical right winger self before others every time, spread the fear because you just might have to give something up for others. Every time those on the right take charge economies crash and wealth moves from the majority to the few. Then you blame every thing else for the failures. We've had fourteen years of crashing the economy, corruption and ineptitude and you and those like you think we are heading in the right direction. Under the guise of market economics we have water bills that are higher with poorer service while the water infrastructure has been allowed to erode and fail. We have rivers and seas polluted with raw sewage all in the name of a rush for greater corporate dividends. We were told that the free market would give us lower prices with better service in all the utilities and public transport. In reality we have higher prices, poorer service while still increasing taxes to pay for those at the top to get more. Under these Tories we have the highest increase in taxation since the Second World War and a total erosion of services. While at the same time corporations have increased their profits so they can pay their executives huge bonuses and give their shareholders increased dividends. Then when those dividends are not enough they have borrowed money to pay them more. When the debts are due they demand the right to get extra subsidies or to put their prices up so their customers pay off the interest on the loans. You can't turn a tanker around in a canal because the Tories have allowed the canals to leak so there is no water for the tanker to even float and the canals have eroded away so there is no workable canal left. But you and those like you don't want to see that because you have been convinced that if you keep in line then one day you may be able to get your nose in the trough. Thankfully the people of this country at some point in the next nine months are going to have the opportunity to put the Tories when they belong, in the garbage bin hopefully to be put onto the land fill site of history.

Not until he has to. In the meantime there's still plenty of money to siphon.

When the India Trade deals in the bag and his Mother-In-Law is installed in the Indian Parliament

It looks like the plotters have decided that the Tories are going to lose the next election and it's better than Rishi goes down with the ship than to call an election and have a new leader defeated at the ballot box in a matter of weeks. In which case he'll probably try and cling on for as long as possible in the vain hope that there's a big enough scandal to hobble labour or the economy experiences some miraculous recovery.

Not until he's got his trade deal with India.

No

Start off by accepting that it is NOT OUR FIGHT.

@@ArtyFactual_Intelligence Oh, grow up.

26 point swing in Blackpool "Tis but a scratch"

With a 30% Turnout 😂​@@TheVicar

@@julieclonan2427 Yes. The proportion of the outcome resulted in a 26 point swing Are you suggesting that if there was a much greater turnout then the proportion would be any different?

​@@TheVicarLet them cling on to something..... Johnson gone in disgrace, brexit is a disaster, Rwanda plan a shambles, poor tory luvvies.

Don't need to. That's not the point.

Laura Kuennsbeggar and GB News will still collaborate with Daily Mail and Express to undermine the Labour Surge.

Its only having a slight effect, which was skilfully calculated within the electoral strategy Labour couldn't allow the Tories to use it as a dividing issue, so Labour had to follow suit with the Tories stance Its time for people to understand that politics in the reality is not one of binary ideological positioning. Leave that to religion and social media drivel

Hopefully he goes the same place Trump is looking more and more likely to go.

He's on Trump's gravy train electoral cycle. How very patriotic of him to follow the money and poo on his fans in the UK by cashing in over in the USA

On medical advice. Hospitals full. What would you have done?

Fact is most countries in the world did the same thing. It's 14 years of poor government policies and all the lies and corruption that has caused the tory plight.

@@nicks4934 let everyone make there own decisions. If you're scared stay home.

They actually did it and it had no result whatso ever yet they still talk about individual rights and liberties

@@royboy565 no point moaning at me, I had zero say. What I can do is blame them and I do.

No it just needs to go.

@@royboy565 It is too late for them. I will be voting Reform.

Andy Street got the money he asked for from central government, where as Labour councils get choked off by the Tory government

Birmingham was one of many councils to go bankrupt.Tory councils have gone bankrupt also. 25 councils or on the brink of bankruptcy.... Common denominator is the slashing of funds from central govt. Wake up!

Funds are from central government - and to use Sunaks own words he made sure funding went from poverished/ poorer areas and into Tory ones cos he thought that was the right thing to do as Chancellor

Remind us again who was in charge of the council when the dodgy pay discrimination was being carried out. I'll wait.

25 councils are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy due to underfunding.

When?

@@BlyatimirPootin I can’t remember precisely (I am an elderly person) but I do seem to remember this many years ago. One of the party’s did well in the council elections but never made it to government in the main elections. This was a shock at the time and was blamed on the weather.

This is not a mid-term protest vote, the general election is months away, and what we've seen up and down the country is tactical voting in a determined effort to dislodge this parasitic government that leeches off of it's the people and provides nothing in return (so gloat I will).

Never happened

Maybe so, but we're looking here at a long trend of which this election is only another step.

Yeah for tax dodgers

Tories made the coffin, painted it, polished it, and have been putting nail after nail in it for 14 years.

How's the BNP and EDL and UKIP candidates that you voted for, been faring?

Tory government has been worse.

@@problemsolverthinktank859 You clearly are too young to remember.

@@colinc.8742 I am. I grew up under Cameron and was born under Blair. And I’ll say that Labour before I was born I don’t know about but Tories today, I’m sick of and there’s some new people in Labour now and younger more progressive ideas so I hope they win!

People would bite your hand off for what Labour achieved from 97-10, strong economic growth, well-funded public services, NHS that worked and investment in education. The Tories have been an utter shambles compared to what Blair delivered.

@@allrednow Why was he kicked out then? Memory can play tricks. Remember he inherited a very strong economy and blew it.

There's always a party at the Uni, especially when term starts.

Its to prevent their right wing viewers having an even worse Sunday than they already are

Do you actually believe that

What is the source of your statistics? Where does the 35M number come from?The government (ONS) and the 2021 census says 10 million residents born outside the UK 43% of whom hold a British passport www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration/articles/analysisofsocialcharacteristicsofinternationalmigrantslivinginenglandandwales/census2021#:~:text=Our%20earlier%20release%20The%20changing,%25)%20non%2DEU%2Dborn.

In the absence of government enabling the training and incentivising of people to do the jobs performed by immigrants, Britain will need immigrants to do the jobs we don't do ourselves. This will never be done by a Tory government because they leave it entirely up to the private sector. Plus the Tory Party has a culture of contempt for good governance.

so what youre saying is that you would not even be qualified to pick fruits much less work a trade or in white collar

​@@TimesFM4532I think he's counted everyone from the Beaker people onwards

I blame silly people like you.

Yes. It's always the doctors' and workers' fault when we get sick and have nothing to eat ? Eh Margaret?

Don't be a silly-billy.
