Following his expulsion from Conservative party, MP Andrew #Bridgen has hit out at “corruption, collusion & cover-ups”, intends to stand again at the next election

Nowt to do with him comparing vaccine rollout to the #holocaust then?

Nice to see a #rightWingPopulist being punished for #antisemitism after what happened on the left last week - this fantasist will lose his deposit if he does stand

IMO #Abbott should be reinstated for #nextGE if her Stamford Hill constituents are OK with that

@Skembear

Well maybe I missed all the personal attacks on the previous leader from #labour centrists - but I have yet to be shown an example of such an attack. I also hope the #greens do well in the locals (I often vote for them ) - but will almost certainly get the same single Brighton seat they always get at #nextGE.

@AndrewGuilford

Well IMO we who actively discuss politics over-estimate our numbers where victory requires votes of millions of casuals who may not vote at all or voted #johnson or #snp in 2019

Trans rights thing toxic - best say nothing

#toriesOut provided plenty of ammo for attack on other lines with popular appeal - but maybe idea is to muzzle all #populist BS ahead of #nextGE campaign

Take care not to take what #redTops translate as #labour stance - they'll twist to make it look bad

@hesgen
Well they have to try..... my view is that after a bit of a slump that takes #snp polling to about equal with #labour, there will be a partial recovery for the #nextGE and starmer will only gain a handful of seats. I cannot see issues within the #snp making scots any keener on rule from London - but they must keep their major party of independence honest & open to get there sometime in the 2030s

Douglas Ross: Tories reject Scottish leader's Labour vote call

I really think Mr #Ross is not that bright - after recent events, the #SNP & any chance of #indyRef2 in next electoral cycle is gone (sorry guys, you know that's true)

Strangely when #Sturgeon dominated & #toriesOut trailed a distant second no such offer was made - truth is he knows his party will be a dismal third in the #nextGE and is trying to get a lift from #labour coat-tails

@GreenerFutures

Or to the #toriesOut rank is more important than odour?

#braverman has a dark sort of celebrity that would have won votes from members

Bear in mind non-members voted tory in 2019 - some may object to the smell #nextGE

@seb321 @Gecko

Well I'm not sure what divide you refer to - between labour & the lost electors in 2019, or between the leadership & those activists who preferred the previous leader?

The most important thing is for voting #labour to be seen as a normal sensible thing & attract more votes - I doubt #labour can get #nativists who turned #kipper back, but #toriesOut have left a lot of space in the centre by turning #hardRight

If #labour don't win #nextGE there'll be a new leader for sure

@Gecko

Well we wil see - probably, if there are not thousands of disappointed corbyn fans publicly dissing #labour so that the #toriesOut get re-elected

By my reckoning the #labourLeft lost 3 elections - Ed one, then corbyn two

So fair would be that centrists within #labour get 3 goes also - one with starmer (he'll only get one - he's out if he loses #nextGE unlike his predecessor) then another centrist..... but I'm optimistic that will not be necessary

@Gerz

Well there we disagree. I think you are wrong about starmer, although I accept he is not the choice of the left

I can't understand all those repeatedly posting aggressive & rude comments about #labour leader when there is no other option south of the border that can form a govt other than #toriesOut

I kept my peace all the time #corbyn was leader, why can't you?

... in case you had not realised, #SNP have no love for #labour, who will likely take several seats off them #nextGE

Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas sales to be banned, says Gove

Presumably not Goveys intoxicant of choice

Why does a politician I thought one of few #toriesOut MPs with a 3 digit IQ want to extend #warOnDrugs to a product only dangerous in extremes that suggest that individual will simply find another way to self-harm?

Almost like its part of the one-sided #cultureWar - the last chance for them at the #nextGE

Ignore this posturing from a #rightPopulist conman

Regular post on #ukOpinionPolls

Not so good for #labour - definite signs of #toriesOut uptick following #budget - lead cut to c 18% a&falling from over 20%

Somehow people haven't noticed frozen tax bands when inflation is 10% is a big increase in tax for ordinary wage earners - clearly #sunak aiming to cut tax in 2024 for #nextGE

Labour need to sharpen their act if they want to stay ahead - they can't rely on #vacuumOfIntegrity doing the job for them any more

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious @GeoffJohnson @ChrisMayLA6 @Gillinger

Well you may be right for many - but right now polling evidence is others think differently - with #snp poll lead over #labour dropping to single figures and the #toriesOut nowhere

I am sure come the #nextGE the snp will remain the most popular party - but labour will be a rather closer second than the tories were in 2019

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election#Scotland

@JorisBohnsonPM

Truth is they will get more voting for the #vacuumOfIntegrity than an alternate candidate - and you have to think of the impact of the counterfactual - what would the reaction be had either the scumbag withdrawn his nomination or the constiutuency not selected him...... really this is a non-story..... but it is a hook to hang a #toriesOut post on

However there will be more motivation for others to vote to remove him as MP at the #nextGE - it will be one to watch

@TJ1001

Calm down..... I never said the #left are "communists" - I said their message is unpopular, and it is way more important to remove the #toriesOut than to include specific policies in the agenda that risk that.

I just want to see #labour win the #nextGE and we start from where we are.....

Quite why we have this argument beats me - do you not want #labour to win?

@TJ1001

We will only find out after the #nextGE

One thing certain - anyone who communicates like last leader did in 2019 would not have a > 20% lead - I know #leftWing don't like it, but #labour only ever won from #centre over last 5 decades

we need shot of #toriesOut more than we need #leftWing policies & longer in opposition

I am sanguine that current leader is in fact thoroughly decent & will improve politics - it's dull that #farLeft are so vitriolic about him, but sadly predictable

@TJ1001

I expect and demand that #labour make the #uk a less corruptible place after they win the #nextGE

Pointless indulging in traditional #leftWing nationalisation if the body politic is so open to #bigMoney #corruption - the focus should be on #regional distribution of power and removing the power of patronage from politicians

@junesim63

Who said anything about tweaking?

The point is - the #toriesOut are blinded by #populist emotional nonsense

#labour are not

I respect #green party - but they are not in the running to win the #nextGE

@TJ1001

#sharp will be sacked soon after the #nextGE.

The clock is running down on the #cameronToryEra - it cannot end soon enough - there has been enormous damage done already - by #austerity , by #brexit . by #corruption associated with the pandemic , by #nativist #populism and morally by the #vacuumOfIntegrity - that there will be further damage before they are eveicted from office is an inevitability I fear

@Dasy2k1 @ORIOliver @Gillinger @therightarticle

Not very like, really - it is a different world. The #toriesOut will not get re-elected at the #nextGE - though there is a fair chance our Reichstag - Westminster Palace - will burn down that will be down to the builders not a political plot

@techbatty @therightarticle

They deliberately fail to either make agreements with places like #albania for safe return - or to resource properly the destruction of the criminal gangs - because the one hope #toriesOut have to win support in the #nextGE is to still see lots of poeple coming on our beaches despite them being nasty to migrants........
