Neil Kinnock: Labour leader who lost 'unlosable' election predicts Starmer will end up in No 10
https://news.sky.com/story/neil-kinnock-labour-leader-who-lost-unlosable-election-predicts-starmer-will-end-up-in-no-10-13074719
The latest YouGov polling suggests the Tories might end up with just 13 MPs, and four of them would be Grant Shapps.
Don't fret,Labour won't have an overall majority at the next election. The piddly little local elections where less than 30% bother to vote mean nothing.
They will probably win outright in 5 years time when we will have several million more immigrants.
Starmers' statement on "Having an Anti-Terrorist force and MI5 to stamp out the traffickers is a joke when we can't stop boats full of illegals landing on our beaches, coming through airports and in the back of lorries. The Chinese can even hack our MoD and the Russians have 'Diplomatic' mansions scattered around the country. Who needs weapons?
The state of the roads tells the success story of Broken Brexit Britain.
Starmers number one priority is a return to the EU. Either in full or outside the EU in name only. Starmer won't give a toss what he promised before the election. It's why he's got massive media support and big money behind him despite no policies whatsoever.
They don't even appear to be the Labour party anymore, just a slightly more woke version of the Lib Dems. They'll solve mass illegal immigration by making it legal and the BBC will simply stop reporting on it. The biggest corporations will be protected. Small businesses, self employed and private pensions will foot the bill. The white, working class will be treated with the same contempt they have been since Blair.
Any dissent will be crushed by Hate Laws. Criticism of immigration and islam will be illegal.
I would say the Lloyds share price will be way down the list of real Brits concerns within 3 years of a Starmer government.
UK formally gained Brindependence in 2021... Since then, the UK is the world's fastest-growing major G7 economy in 2021, the fastest again in 2022, and UK is now the fastest yet AGAIN in 2024! UK is outperforming all its major rivals.
Rishi needs to get the word out.
UK since Brexit has quietly become a tiger economy. We are booming.
Judging by the amount of smelly barbecues going on today, does not seem a shortage of money for brits to stuff themselves
Wages are up, disposable income is up, savings are up (a lot), retail sales are up, manufacturing is up, exports are up (world no.4), GDP is up, and UK is top of the G7 leaderboard yet again. Rishi needs to shout it from the rooftops. And then slash taxes to the max. The election is all to play for.

Thanks to Sunak and the Tories the UK has had the fastest growing population in Europe ( twice as fast ) for over a decade now, and will hit 70 million sooner than expected.
" Enough is Enough " the UK can't take anymore, Brexit supporters please take back control of your borders as you promised before it is to late, or face the consequences !
Heh Mick-b,
Spouting your usual rubbish (on the Lloyds board as usual).
How far are you going to throw your toys out of the pram when it's a hung parliament?
When Starmer and the crook can't even get a majority against this current conservative party?
I'm actually looking forward to the general election to see what craap you post the day after.
Reducing NI was bad for pensioners, they should have increased the tax threshhold, and pensioners are big voters
Sunak biggest Tory bunt ever , wot is wrong with you lot ,seriously wot is wrong with you ?
Brixton's on the firewater again at spoons. 🤣🤣
Some studies, from supermarkets and water-sewage plants, which calculate how much we take in and poop out, suggest the actual UK population today is already well over 70m, possibly as high as 95m.

I look forward to reading the rest of your Top 100... I might even pass them on the my local MP (a Tory grifter).

On the UKs population they have been saying it is 70million for the last 5 years.
Take no notice of the census forms, they are now a joke, once it was a serious offence not to fill one in correctly now the establishment do not want to truth to be out.
Do people really think our immigrants invaders would even fill a census form out and if they did would anyone expect them to be truthful.
How many people were in your home on such a date ? Answer head of family, up to four wives and 10 children and four cousins / illegals in the garden shed, not going to happen is it !
They commit fraud when voting , hence the need now for photo ID, do you think or does anyone for that matter, think they will be honest in their own home?
And the number now is a moving target moving upwards daily.

Agree, potholed roads creaking government infrastructure and public services to name a few, today in the UK it sometimes feels like we are living in a third world country.
Skier1
Wrong type of immigrants, vast majority low skilled and contribute nothing to our economy.
Simones for PM.
Lol.
Here come the self-loathing fanatics who get a kick from self-inflicted misery 😉
GDP is soaring, fastest in G7 worldwide, exports are soaring, wages are soaring, savings are soaring (doubling!), disposable income is at a record high, unemployment is near a record low, employment levels are near a record high, everyone who wants a job has one, crime rates have halved since the 1990s, safest roads on the planet, life expectancy into the 80s... the list goes on.
It's time to stop talking down your own country. Time to stop the self-loathing. Time to stop wallowing in self-inflicted misery.
UK is back on the up 👍
In reply to jcbs post yes but the meat would be the cheapest available and in all likelihood the beer also lol
'17. Loft extension numbers to house these immigrants through roof.'
Lol Simones that's the most random gripe I've heard against the government, I'm not saying you've got too much time on your hands but blimey. ' what do we want!!?...'LESS LOFT EXTENSIONS!!!..'when do we want it ??!' ..'NOW!!!!'
Birmingham City Council have so many living on Benefits, and you can guess who the majority are? Hence the lack of Council Tax income.
Skier,
Things are so good - maybe you should remind the doubters about the record surplusses that this triumphant GOV has managed to run recently (significantly surpassing their pre-COVID records).
