@SKinnock 2019 sunk by Brexit fantasies, 2022 resurfaced by covid, incompetence, lies,hubris, corruption, inflation, cost of living, division and brexit realities. We have gone from offering change to offering virtually the same. 2024 may well be a successful and Pyrrhic victory.
@robfordmancs Are Starmer's Labour are trying to replace the tories as the perceived party for England and think that their englishness is tied to ethnicity and sceptical of immigration, they think this will appeal to their values while not alienating their liberal cosmopolitan voters?
@robfordmancs @guyrbailey @HugoGye@YouGov Could this not be a more subtle form of racism, even in absence of racist views, leader of the Tory party needs to be seen by its members as able to articulate an English identity,a bme candidate is not quite English enough for that role, whatever their other perceived assets
@robfordmancs@HugoGye@YouGov Fair point and I did actually read that research, but the outcome always appears to be the same when opposing loyalties are put to the ultimate test. Maybe when blame candidates are consistently winning, the point will be made?
@MrHarryCole Perhaps Welsh Labour should invite her to the commemoration in November of 100 years of continued electoral dominance in Wales, see what real success looks like. Then she can also see how real governments work for real people, not the swivell eyed loonies of rhe far right.
@RWynJones @robfordmancs Begs questions, 1. Do they have the first clue what a pllitician actually does, 2. How do they come to a conclusion about what makes a good/bad politician, 3. Is this all through lens of an awfully biased media lens, 4 could they honestly do a better job of it themselves?
@LordAshcroft@lewis_goodall Honestly, after what will soon be four attempts, I think its time to admit the last thing we need is a rehashed conservative government.
@paulmasonnews You can guarantee that whatever the success of the scheme, the English media, from right wing to so called centre left, will provide a negative response and deem it failure and that Starmer's Labour will not defend it.
@robfordmancs I seem to recall Barry John was dubbed the Prince of Wales and Gareth Edwards the King by the locals on the 1971 lions tour of New Zealand ?
