  1. Nobody going to mention that Starmer’s ‘seismic’ result in Rutherglen and Hamilton West actually amounts to Labour winning back a seat it lost in 2019, and which it has held for all but 6 years of its 18 year existence, then?
    Jeremy Corbyn did the same in 2017 after it was lost in 2015 to a genuinely seismic 31% swing to the SNP.
    Historically, Labour has held the seat, and its constituency predecessors, for most of the last century. But yeah, right – ‘seismic’…

  2. >Starmer’s hopes of becoming PM boosted ~~after winning key by-election~~ by shower of shit that are the Tories.

    FTFY.

  3. They’re going to feel soooo stupid after that Day 1 Meat Tax!

  4. Blew the doors off, no the SNP made a mess of things.

  5. Sigh. Given he is just another neoliberal, I resent having to vote for this… florid punchmuffin, but voting for the Tories is like wearing a shirt saying “I luv workhouses, simple as.”

    None of the other contenders are contenders, as much as I wish they were. I’m a pragmatist; most voters are either Red or Blue, so idealistic voting for the other parties just lumbers us with Emperor Sunak again. Better the demon with the less-pointy stick?

  6. I’ll be voting red, but it will inspite of this status quo twat.

  7. If this bowl of tepid porridge can’t win the election after Dave, Cornfields, Boris, The Lettuce, Priti, Suella and the gang have collectively shit the bed for the last few years, then he has no business ever bothering us with his luke warm attempt at leadership ever again.
    Any cunt who’s not wearing a literal SS uniform should be able to win this one.

  8. Can’t believe our options are a Tory and a guy who’s trying to convince us he’s not a tory.
