Starmer's majority is built on sand - it's a mile wide and an inch deep. Here's my ten-point guide to bashing Labour and getting back into power.

Not again! I have NOT given my permission to be used in political adverts. This is NOT an endorsement by me in any way. I maintain strict party neutrality and am unhappy at the weaponizing of my reputation in this way.
While this isn't as bad as the first terrible representation – which said it this about tax - there's still a misdirection. As I’ve already stated, in that private conversation I was referring to Labour hoping to make a positive change I’ve been campaigning for, but it didn’t want to lock it in the manifesto as it can’t promise to deliver.
NO party’s manifesto tells the full story. ALL parties have things they hope to do but that aren’t in manifestos – as they can’t guarantee to deliver. The idea that Labour is an outlier for that is preposterous.
I am voting to get the Tories out…
For my grandma:
Who died alone of Covid in hospital, separated from her family. Her last words forever lost.
For my Dad:
Who underwent cancer treatment in hospital alone. Putting on a brave face so his family would think he’s okay.
For my NHS colleagues:
Who put their lives at risk to care for Covid patients, armed with only flimsy masks & bin bags for PPE
We died alone, suffered alone, grieved alone….
Whilst the Tories laughed at us & partied
They fucking partied!!
I will never forget & never forgive
Let’s obliterate them in this election!
They partied , they bet on elections , they crashed the economy, they broke every public service, they destroyed integrity and honesty in public office , they paid their mates billions , they put their friends in the House of Lords, they gave their cronies knighthoods, they went into the jungle , they lied again and again, they were convicted by police, they went on holiday when they shouldn’t and they have the cheek to question Keir Starmer’s work ethic. I would never take anything for granted but I hope they are annihilated on Thursday. The worst people and government we have ever had!
P.S good afternoon all 😊❤️
Victoria Derbyshire, "The Conservatives will put up people's taxes in the next parliament, won't they"
Gillian Keegan, "No"
VD, "I'm going to pause you right there. The Conservatives would put up taxes in the next parliament, that is true, is it not?"
GK, "It is not.. We have said we will reduce taxes"
VD, "I'm talking about tax take, the tax burden"
GK, "Ok, that includes everything"
VD, "So they're going up?"
GK, "Umm.. It depends...I mean literally.. We have tried to make sure we reduce the taxes for working people"
VD, "The tax take. The IFS today showed calculations that mean total taxes as a share of GDP will rise under the Conservatives plan. That is correct"
GK, "Well I'll look at those calculations"
VD, "Right now under you tax take is 36.5% of GDP, rising to 36.8% - you can acknowledge that is going up, can't you?"
GK, "I want your viewers to know the taxation system for the economy is really complex"
VD, "You wont answer it because you know it's going up"
GK, "The overall tax take is much more complicated than that"
Let me get this right… a bully strikes at its neighbour and Farage basically says “ it was the neighbours fault and they were asking for it” for standing up to the bully?
