THE SUN SAYS It’s time for a change…

You’ll be surprised to know that the Mail and Telegraph have come out for the Tories.

I was wondering which way they’d go as their headlines and articles have been very balanced of late…

I have no candidate that represents what I want to vote for.

Conservative - I am not happy with their mismanagement, so nope
Labour - a candidate that presided over very dodgy, bordering on downright criminal mismanagement in a previous political role, so nope
Lib Dems - appear to want to jump asap back into EU irrespective of the issues the EU are facing at mo, so nope (rejoining EU on sensible and mutually beneficial terms is not a problem for me)
Green - they have not got a clue, so nope
Independent - see Green
Reform - I am not a racist moron, so nope

Genuinely thinking of spoiling my vote.

Why do ppl say reform voters are racist? Some of my black friends are voting reform! My wife is mixed race she’s voting reform
How can I be racist voting reform? Silly comment

Plenty of be people of various colours are racist.

BTW the phrase “some of my black friends “ usually indicates a racist.

Does it indicate the same when a black, brown or lime green person uses the phrase "some of my white friends"?

Yep, in the context of those people being accused of anti-white racism. Indeed, there's a minor tiff going on in the Detroit hip hop world for Eminem being called 'the white guy', by one of his closest friends...

Has any paper come out full force behind Labour? The "swing" papers support them but all have reservations.

[bitchstewie]

Don't think so.

What I've read seems mostly a mirror of society which is the Conservatives have forfeited any right to govern but most people are cautious Labour and aren't sure what Starmer stands for but they've just about done enough.

I couldn’t agree more! Give it a few months before they realise what they voted for.
I’ll be glad I can say I never voted for them

"Inflation was running at 11 per cent when he became PM. He has got it down to 2 per cent - in part because he resisted wild trade union pay demands."

"Labour is strong in its support for the Union and strengthening the ties that bind together our United Kingdom."

So what exactly do they support?

To the surprise of no-one the Murdoch press backs the likely winner.

What's going to be quite delicious is the dynamic of Labour here and Trump in the White House.

It will be interesting to hear how all the Labour fanboys defend their performance in the coming months

We are about to witness en masse a huge case of beware of what you wish for

I will admit to pissing myself but it's not fear, it's the anticipation of seeing millions of gullible Labour voters being absolutely rinsed.

Things can only get better don't you know

I don't look forward to people, including myself, getting rinsed. But it will be interesting if many people realise what comes if you follow the agenda, which they attributed solely to the Tories.

What are you actually trying to say?

What will they realise in a few months?

Regardless, whatever KS does, it will be defended to the death by all his fanboys here and out in the real world.

I have my wholesale order of popcorn on order.

Presumably they like Labour's support for the Acts of Union 1707 but also support Rishi standing up to trade unionists.
