    “Can’t see Labour forming any sort of alliance with the rabble that are now in the Conservative Party.”

    Perhaps not and I am inclined to think the numbers won’t add up anyway. But I think some Labour MPs might still prefer a deal with the Conservatives rather than the Greens.

    If a coalition was formed with the latter, Polanski would drive a hard bargain. Some Labour MPs might start to worry about the Green tail wagging the Labour dog.

    If Polanski has any sense, he’ll stand for Clacton in 2029.

    As for Labour, they only have themselves to blame for their current plight, having deserted their core support to try to appease the hideously misnamed “hero voters”.

    Hero voters, what are they?

    Essentially, they’re people who used to vote for Labour but have been seduced by Farage’s dulcet tones.

    More details are available via a quick Google search.

    I’d say the stock Labour/Tory voter is dying out , voters will vote for whats best for them and they’ll float to ever offers what they want , saying that it you believe anything Farage offers you your a mug

    extract from an article by Quentin Letts (published April 4)
    On Wednesday – the very day NASA was lighting those enormous engines that sent Artemis II hurtling into the heavens – Sir Keir held a Downing St press conference at which he maundered on about the woes of the world.
    Asked how he would reopen the Strait of Hormuz our dismal haddock of a PM opened and closed his mouth and stammered “we’re prepared to take a sort-of leadership role”. That ‘sort-of’ said it all.
    towards the end of the article
    Lets have a Labour party leader who can put a swing into the country’s step rather than one who clasps his teddy and hides under the bed-sheets amid yet more bladder leakage
    Now we have him off on another jolly trying to make himself look relevant AFTER the fact that peace talks have started due to the efforts of others. His moniker of Captain hindsight is well deserved.
    good luck to all

    It’s vitally important that we maintain good relationships with other countries, even more so after leaving the EU when Obama had warned us not to depend on America. Keir had been mending our fractured relationship with Europe even before he became PM. At a time when eg Truss was bad mouthing the French. Seems to me that Starmer is highly respected by other world leaders. Who do you want leading the country at this moment in time?

    More copy and pasted drivel.

    Quentin Letts (Let’s not) accusing others of ‘maundering on’, there goes yet another one of my irony meters.

    Highly respected by other world leaders is laughable ….. he’s a joke
    they kick him, say ‘jump’ and Starmer asks how high?
    The EU is in decline, has been for many years, and going to continue on that path.
    The idea that the EU is the future is like Starmer a joke, it’s a rotting corpse …low growth, high unemployment and protectionist,
    good luck to all

    Not as high as Badenoch or Farage would jump if Trump or Netanyahu gave the order.

    Chagos U-Turn alert.
    U-Turn Number 14 or is it 15?
    I’m losing count.

    Now he’s trying to save his skin and his councillors by posing as an influential world leader.

    Swanning around the Gulf, pretending to be a world leader talking about a ceasefire, in which he played no part, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which he has no power to do, since we have almost no naval assets to deploy.

    Pathetic. What a sham.

    Wilts, wroung again! It is not a u turn, merely is a delay. The base is a jount uk/usa affair. Trump said he was originally happy then changed his mind a day later. We cannot get any sense out of the USA until they stop playing war games.

    At least Starmer is trying to do something, The right wing do nothing, make no valid recommendations and merely moan and criticise. I know who is really pathetic.

    Of course he didn’t, it’s not his mess but unfortunately we’re suffering the consequences so he has to go out there and attempt to clean it up.

    and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which he has no power to do

    Of course he doesn’t, it’s not UK territory. The oil was flowing just fine until about six weeks ago. It’s stopped due an illegal war that I still haven’t heard you condemn.

    since we have almost no naval assets to deploy.

    Ah yes, I remember our Navy was the envy of the world until Labour took office.

    Christ, even by your standards that was a load of bollocks.

    More than half of Keir Starmer’s Cabinet ministers would lose their seats if a general election was held today, a new poll has found.
    The More in Common survey found 16 out of the 22 Labour MPs who form the Prime Minister’s top team would be kicked out of the House of Commons.

    The MRP (Multilevel Regression with Post-stratification) poll was based on voting intention data from more than 15,000 Britons.

    It projected that, overall, Reform would win 324 seats at a general election – putting Nigel Farage’s party far ahead of Labour (101 seats), the Tories (81), Liberal Democrats (62), SNP (26) and Greens (22).

    Reform would be just shy of an overall majority, but with a few Tory backers they’d likely form the next government.
