It's just Conservative fear mongering. They haven't got anything positive to run on, so they complain that Labour might have too large a majority. Didn't hear them complaining about their large majorities in the past....

In principle perhaps, but in reality a small majority leaves the govt beholden to back benchers and rebels within their own party. Just look at how divided the Tories have been recently - they hold a decent majority but have had issues with discipline. You don't have that concern with a very large majority.

There are always MPs getting into trouble, though- the 80-seat majority of 2019 came down to 45 or so before the election was called for various reasons, from the trivial (the wayward tractor fan) to the foulest crimes (Imran Ahmad Khan) and everything in between. Owen Patterson's wife killed herself because she knew what was coming down the road for her husband and Boris and JRM tried to forestall it, corruptly. If you have a 200 seat majority, though, what does it matter?

How about some self reflection about why they are so universally unpopular and staring into the abyss. People like Michael Gove, Grant Schapps, Jeremy Hunt have all been ministers for a number of years now. How do they account for how unpopular the party is under their stewardship? Jeremy Hunt said that high interest rates was a price worth paying. My mortgage payments have risen by £350 A MONTH in January this year. He will pay for that with his job.

Hunt indulges himself in talk of the expanding tech industry in London without understanding just how out of touch that sounds to the rest of the country... This great industry, which is providing a handful of jobs and undoubtedly improving our technological capabilities, is irrelevant because the rest of us are getting poorer and poorer. He just smacks of everything wrong with our political establishment, out of touch, out of time and incapable of understanding. Outside of the financial and technological districts of London, Britain is a deprived nation and the only people that have the power to change this is a tiny clique of Westminster elitists that just cannot see it.
