#GE2024 It is quite extraordinary how much I have shifted on tactical voting over the last year. I used to be all for it; that the main thing was to #GTTO, etc. In general always for “lesser evil” pragmatism. That has completely gone - i now see no hope in any establishment parties & wouldn’t urge anyone to vote for Starmer or Biden.
Although now realising that here in UK that shift is related to thinking Labour will win anyway: if it were closer I might still be very focused on #GTTO..
“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
From now until the #election, I'm playing the Benny Hill theme tune at full volume and adopting a Kenneth Williams "oooh matron" voice, because it's now the only way to keep a grip on #reality
How strange that preceeding the EU referendum, Gove, Johnson et al were spouting the lie that the EU would conscript British kids into an EU army to fight wherever the EU sought fit.
And here we are, the very same collection of war mongering fuckwits are now touting conscription for your kids into British armed forces.
“Under Ofcom rules, Conservative MPs Jacob Rees-Mogg and Esther McVey, as well as former Tory deputy chairman-turned Reform MP Lee Anderson, are unable to continue in their presenting roles while they seek re-election”
Who needs AI created fake stories, images and audio on social media…when you can just go old school and plant your party councillors as audience members in public events?
Makes it look very natural for you to blab on about your favourite subjects…thus drowning out the questions that real undecided voters want answered.
Only one issue I have with this poem called: An Incomplete List of Things More Competent of Running the Country Than The Current Government…can you guess what it is? 😉

Rishi Sunak has stated its going to be about who the public trusts...
Not the ground on which he might be best advised to fight after a decade & half of scandals, corruption & crisis....
Indeed, he says he's going to 'earn our trust'.... well given he's been PM for some time, and is (therefore) admitting he hasn't earnt our trust already, this looks like howl statements scripted by a advisor, unless he's monumentally out of touch.... oh, hold on
@ChrisMayLA6 I’m no constitutional expert but isn’t a party leader making a Party Political Broadcast while parenthetically exercising Prime Ministerial prerogative to announce a General Election a breach of the Ministerial Code?
I thought they were supposed to maintain separation of roles?
But of course, any constitutional probity went out the window years ago
