GE 2024

We all need a fact checked source so that everyone can have the plain truth, unadulterated and free of bias and propaganda.
Maybe this forum is a good starting place for that.
Looks like a lamentable Labour government is looming. At least Smurf will be happy the Tories will have gone.

My worry is the lies and propaganda coming from all directions with far too many of the electorate gullible enough to swallow it hook line and sinker. Even more worrying is the media/press not challenging the lies and propaganda.

Nothing to worry about, you'll have the same Westminster Party as before, as Sheepy calls it.

I think we can safely say the Tories are up shit creek without a plunger!!

I am quite looking forward to a Labour government in a sick kind of way, A) to see them fail miserably under the worlds economic climate, B) I am in the process of retiring and going to live in Goa, where what they do will not impact me in the slightest.

With the Tories fighting amongst them selves like cats in a bag I can't see them winning the next general election. I suspect it will end no-one with a majority.

As I have siad elswhere ,the tories have a secret weapon ........A lurch to the right

Could be. Politics is a funny old game. But the latest polls have the Tories on 29% and the Labour Party on 43%, which is pretty much where they have been for the last year, so I reckon that Starmer will have to work hard to avoid moving into Number 10 in 2025.

Dont you believe it, 12 months ago the polls and 'expert' comentators were all predicting a Labour landslide. Today (Yesterday now) polling guru Professor John Curtice said Labour will probably win, but with a minority government. However there's a few months to go yet.

Sunak has at last realised that net zero aint popular with voters.

To be fair Nick, every clock is right at least once a day and it looks as though Pappy is right this time. I can't see Rishi getting back in next time, but then again I can't see Starmer making a lot of difference, so it will be the usual centralist government we have had most of the time since we have had governments

I wonder if the Scots will vote Dougie Ross back in again? The man seems a bit of a disaster area, but Moray seems to have a soft spot for the amiable buffoon, so who can tell ?

Don't think so. I've never heard Parkhead erupt in an anti Labour fervour. It is the Tories they don't like!

Give it time 

[morayloon]

Same as Celtic fans being anti UK government , that the tories are in charge is just a coincidence

So, the Ultra Loyalist Brits are anti SNP, real news scoop that!

Ross is backing out. He's going to become a full time, list MSP. I say full time but his job as a linesman has not to be forgotten. Have a look at the video, the Celtic fans totally nailed it, unfurling a banner to the accompaniment of that popular ditty "If you hate the fucking Tories clap your hands"

My opinion is based on reality not blind faith. The latest stuff up with the "aero" concrete, (which is far more than schools,) is yet another nail in the Tory coffin.

Do you know when the schools were built? And don't say it's due to maintenance cause inspection is not maintenance. So no, it's not down to the Torries, just your usual I HATE TORIES bollocks.
