Nothing would ever make me vote reform. I've always said I would vote for the party that would run against reform if it came to it

trumpsacunt.bsky.social•2 days ago

Starmer and Davey will make a good team next time round to keep the other two away from being able to cause any damage. Hopefully they both disappear

doomwatch.bsky.social•2 days ago

Don't fret Starmer's advisors are working hard to get that number down. They're running out of targets though, having beaten up on the sick and disabled they're having to hunt around for other groups who trusted them to hurt.

I'm sure they won't upset, the wealthy. Reeves won't cross that red line.

Take note that NOW Starmer (Labour leader and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) is being measured against the leader of a third party (fourth or even fifth historically).

WE ARE NOT ADDRESSING OUR ISSUE IN THIS COUNTRY!

We are simply rejoicing in prediction analytical polls.

brexitbin.bsky.social•2 days ago

Importantly, Ed Davey now has very similar figures to Starmer. That's also a big story.

litterygeniarse.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'd choose Davey over Starmer

litterygeniarse.bsky.social•2 days ago

But if we want a government that isn't corporatist we need an alliance of the decent for the next GE.
Some reasons why and a bit on the proposed alliance:-

And yet...Reform is projected to win the next election at current polling levels.

felixsylvestris.bsky.social•2 days ago

What a horrendous lot to have to make that choice from

colinchatburn.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not one of them would you trust to take care of a ball bearing

roydavidwilliams.bsky.social•2 days ago

We Scots have an ejection seat. There's no way we'll stay in the UK with Farage in charge.

mildlydispleased.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good luck asking Farage for a referendum.

pseudocrem.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow, Kemi over Nige?!. Hope old Nige isn't too butthurt 😁

npkirwan.bsky.social•2 days ago

What that highlights is Davey’s popularity & therefore potential

britainscot.bsky.social•1 day ago

It highlights him saying very little is a positive.

purpleelectric.bsky.social•2 days ago

My thought too. Some intriguing little details in there. Virtually neck and neck between Davey and Starmer, and when Davey is the alternative, fewer people choose Farage than when Starmer is the alternative.

Every constituency with a Labour MP has a coalition of progressive voters sufficient to elect a Liberal Democrat or Green MP.

Given the explosion of tactical voting in 2024, the Labour Party must address this.

helenmagi.bsky.social•2 days ago

He stands up for people who care for others. Starmer looks for ways to cut disabled people's allowances and backs assisted suicide on the quiet because he made a promise to wealthy celeb Esther Ranzten.

dazio.bsky.social•2 days ago

Maybe look at substance to policies instead of bare faced lies and fantasy talk. Farage is a fraud. Don't forget he also pushed for brexit. A vote for reform or Farage is a vote by someone ignorant. He has no idea on running a country.

purpleelectric.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think Helen was talking about Ed Davey, not Farage.

dazio.bsky.social•2 days ago

My mistake! Sorry

nnn20032025.bsky.social•2 days ago

Please my friend, is it possible for you to help me by publishing or donating💔😭

bettinastruff.bsky.social•2 days ago

Pretty encouraging to see Davy closing fast on Starmer here.

Every constituency with a Labour MP has a coalition of progressive voters sufficient to elect a LibDem, SNP, Independent or Green MP instead.

Given the explosion of tactical voting in 2024, the Labour Party needs to watch out.

scarletbea.bsky.social•2 days ago

This doesn't mean much in practice when there's no proportional representation; it gets distorted when it comes to each vote's usefulness 🙁

pckenny.bsky.social•2 days ago

Perhaps people should just stop with the obsession with Farage. It’s tiresome and only serves his needs

leedsjohnlufc.bsky.social•1 day ago

The british electorate dont vote on leaders, and it tends not to be a big factor in which party is elected, and you should know this!

jimbob1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good to see that the world hasn't gone totally mental.

dundonaldpatrick.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not much of a choice, is it.

johnhull.bsky.social•2 days ago

There aren't any other party leaders with any chance of becoming PM. 🤷

dundonaldpatrick.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s like how would you like to die. Shooting, starvation or chemical poisoning.

johnhull.bsky.social•2 days ago

Other countries are available. 🤷

dundonaldpatrick.bsky.social•2 days ago

Are you saying I should go back where I came from?

johnhull.bsky.social•2 days ago

No. I'm saying you have the privilege of choosing a country you want to live in.

frommeshed.bsky.social•2 days ago

Farage ...El Twatto.

helenmagi.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ed Davey closing in on Starmer. No surprise. Ed stands up for people who care for others whereas Starmer presents as a bureaucrat happy to impose cuts to PIP for disabled people who backs hapless Kim Leadbeater's Bill to kill off the vulnerable on the NHS.

ghurford.bsky.social•2 days ago

Intrigued to know how Boris Johnson would fare in this poll 🤔

tigerroll.bsky.social•2 days ago

Who really cares? The only thing that Mophead is any good at is producing babies. He has been instrumental in destroying his party and is thankfully now ancient history.

volcanocat.bsky.social•2 days ago

After the carnage Farage wrought on behest of his employer (Putin) 29% of people 'think' him suitable for PM?

scoony.bsky.social•2 days ago

Farage 29%?

... is it the same Farage?

mildlydispleased.bsky.social•2 days ago

That was Boris actually, Farage was the one who used taxpayer money to pay his mistress.

tj2infinity.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's time to expose Farage for the fraud he is.

graham-garrett.bsky.social•2 days ago

Which highlights the stupidity of Starmer’s knee jerk lurch to the right after the local elections.

raynorsfridge.bsky.social•2 days ago

Essentially, anyone but Farage…

mirthematician.bsky.social•2 days ago

Absolutely terrifying that 29% of people think Farage would be the best PM.

re-love-ution.bsky.social•2 days ago

Where's the comparison with Corbyn ?

circleofconfusion.bsky.social•2 days ago

He’s not currently the leader of a party and that’s the only reason I can think of that they didn’t do poll..
They didn’t do a poll for Count Binface either unfortunately as I think he would be a surprisingly popular choice 😁

benparer.bsky.social•2 days ago

That 29% are dumb ass scum

thebironicman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yet GBnews say that people would prefer Farage over Starmer.
Who to believe? 🤔🤣

mrsivb.bsky.social•2 days ago

Corbyn beating Badenoch is 🤣

johnhull.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wouldn't believe GB(not)News if they said the sky was blue and water was wet! 😂

thebironicman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Neither would I. If they told me it was raining I'd have to go outside to check for myself.

jasonroberts3114.bsky.social•2 days ago

This GB “News” one is branded as being of the “Red Wall”; if you tailor the sample area to one that reflects the answer you want, I suppose you can make the poll say anything (& write it in smaller letters so the unobservant get the wrong impression). 🤷‍♂️

thebironicman.bsky.social•2 days ago

We all know that GBnews will try to tailor their polls to make Labour look bad.

obbgf.bsky.social•2 days ago

GBeebies might just be using a different selection criteria.

tammckenna.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not a single one of them are of any use to Scotland. Racism, fascism and Zionism are the Westminster curse, and we, in Scotland, reject them all.

djt1million.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is not the result that Farage & Reform would have expected given their over-promotion across the press & media plus the rather questionable poll lead that some polls have given them. I wonder when Farage will give UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform/Grift a new name?
