@bigpicturepol@domdyer70 Yes, if Burnham had any sense he'd call a general election now. I really don't think it's going to get any better than this for him.
@anyotherleader1@Ameer_Kotecha And they have special offers on certain days of the week as well, e.g. Curry Thursday, when their curries are even cheaper than usual - and they're already bloody cheap!
@OffencePolice@DPJHodges@Colin00007 All true, but I think you have to balance that against the fact that he does want a mandate, plus wants to do things that aren't in the 2024 manifesto. And he might also be thinking (rightly) that the other parties, for differing reasons, all look quite vulnerable at the moment.
@EssexPR I think you need to speak to a wider range of people. On the poll of polls Labour have now opened up a clear 4 point lead over Reform, and it looks likely the Tories will knock them into 3rd place soon.
@fesshole I had 8 jobs between graduating Uni in 1994 and taking early retirement last year. I was only ever asked to show a copy of my degree certificate at one of those companies. So you could probably have just lied about your degree and got away with it.
@SteveShovlar My ex boss was from Wales, he was 10 at the time of Aberfan. He told me about coming downstairs that day and seeing his mum in floods of tears.
@DominicFrisby@stats_feed Per capita would be a much more accurate comparison. I can't work out all the maths in my head, but it looks like the UK would drop to at least 6th on the list on that basis.
@AliceInW8@rustyrockets Yes, I watched the documentary about Rolf Harris on Amazon Prime, it mentions that during his trial his lawyer advised him to hold his wife's hand, even though they weren't getting on well at the time. I'm guessing this is similar...
@Cramiworld1@QuietXPerson@David__Osland@LucyTCWife How does that 'change the post entirely'? So she's saying she wouldn't mind if people set fire to hotels containing migrants. You think that's a good thing?
@DrChrisParry@ITV@reformparty_uk What about when you said that David Lammy, born and raised in the UK, should go back to the Caribbean? You're just a nasty racist.
@Tagore1069@DaddyCoffee73@divadarlings2@ITV@reformparty_uk Yes, also there are a lot more people who REALLY hate them than for any of the other parties, and will vote tactically 'anyone but Reform' to keep them out. I think that will affect their performance in a general election.
