Laughable, in a good way, UK election round up of the day.

Doesn't quite do what it says on the tin (re Starmer) but well worth a read.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/03/campaign-catchup-farage-running-starmer-bombing-sunak-sinking

And if #Farage's U-turn, destroying the #Tories chances doesn't send you apoplectic with laughter, check out the following poll that puts him and #ReformUk on 15% but with ZERO seats.

I won't vote for #KeirStarmer #UKLabour, he's an opportunist w/o principles, but take pleasure in this.

I'll vote #Green.

The crisis is this…

“Corridor care is unacceptable, says nursing union”

The tories talk about this…

“Tories pledge to tackle 'confusion' over legal definition of sex”

Labour Party leader Keir Starmer is trying to win the election by campaigning on the political center ground, and by showing voters how the party has shifted since its historic electoral defeat in 2019. Defense is a key part of that strategy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/03/world/politics/starmer-uk-security-debate-sunak/

“Tories pledge new GP surgeries in community care boost”

…The tories think this and others are great ideas.

So come they haven’t done this over the last 14 years ?

The UK is not the US, we do not need our politicians flying around in jets and helicopters all the time.
This is vanity

Just to hammer home the point that Tories feel welcome into Labour but anybody remotely left wing can fuck off.

As a last roll of the dice before they leave office, the Tories have used emergency powers to ban puberty blockers for trans kids. Here’s a good explainer from Jo Maugham, including why it’s probably not legal

This needs more attention. Sure, people want rid of the 'Tories' but is there a real alternative (in England)?

Labour are literally in the same political territory as the Tories and the DUP.

Conservatives unveil new advisor to help with a cunning plan

#Election2024 #MadeUpNews #RishiSunak #satire #Tories #UnreliableFacts

Realising that they have had a few mis-steps with the election campaign so far, the new advisor is set to steer the Conservatives to election victory. The new advisor is reputed to be as cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford.

In #GeneralElections in the #UK, the most you can do is vote for your #ConstituencyMP. So if you want to get rid of the #Tories, the best thing to do is vote for the party most likely to unseat them locally where possible. Obviously if you’re in a safe non-Tory then you can vote for who you like but in marginals and even in relatively safe #Tory seats, #TacticalVoting might be your best option.

Remember the 2019 #Tory manifesto promising a "National Care Service"?

Remember their pledge to cap care home fees recoupable by local authorities from Estates?

Remember who was Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time, and how his pledges evaporated into thin air?

Senior citizens of the United Kingdom, form an orderly queue please to be "had" by the #Tories again ahead of a General Election.

#Tories campaign with leaflets that barely feature party branding – or #Sunak

Election material seen so far suggests candidates are using local images and non-blue, neutral branding

With all the contradictory & often incoherent comments about their National Service policy we’re hearing from various Ministers & MPs, I get the feeling the #Tories didn’t really think through their wonderful new idea.

🧵 1/2: Hear from the #freight professionals complaining the #UK government has done everything not just to derail #greentransport but also to keep adding to their costs:
"There isn't a single route that we run that we can do end-to-end on #electric traction" (yes, they use #diesel trains, ever smelt those?) and "#railtrack access charge has increased by 140% since 2010" (oh, the year the #Tories came to power!) .
I cannot overstate how "third world" this is looking...

“Labour has said there will be no rises in income tax or National Insurance if it wins the general election - but some spending cuts have not been ruled out”

…The UK has be ransacked, looted & vandalised by the tories for the last 14 years

Urgent repair is needed

How is this to be done without raising taxes ?

Sunak takes a "day off", and this is what he comes up with.

Tory twattery. Might appeal to the 80-year-olds, but it's not going to win them any votes in the 18-25 age group. Or anyone who isn't likely to die in the next decade...
