I'm not sure about a labour landslide it could well be a split between labour, snp and lib dems i just expect tories to be fucked off by pretty much everyone who voted for them last time for the brexit vote, and a fair few current tory seats to go lib dem that's what will happen round my way I reckon stockport has 4 MPs, two labour, two tory the tory ones are almost certainly going to lib dem, the labour ones will be still be labour the list of things I will do to my arse publicly if this doesn't happen is endless, I'm up for anything

October 5, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, gonzo said: They need a big shift to Labour just to fuck the tory cunts off proper. There's no chance that Labour will win in the southern rural counties in a general election, but every chance the Lib Dems could if Labour don't put up a candidate. Those two parties should be talking to each other about a pact in which they agree to a coalition and decide which constituencies they should not put a candidate up in to get the best chance of gaining overall control - and those conversations should include which policies they agree on and which would be open to a free vote - they need to be talking now because finding a mutually acceptable consensus take time. It's not ideal but at least both parties share a lot of common ground on social issues and it's better than splitting the vote.

October 6, 20232 yr The more I watch QT, the more I'm heartened - it does seem like the public have had enough of the Conservatives. Some are talking about a May election now.

October 6, 20232 yr Just read an article where a farmer had his land bought for HS2 last week. Farcical. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/06/ive-gone-through-bereavement-hs2-bought-edward-cavenagh-mainwaring-land-for-what?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
October 6, 20232 yr Back in 2015 the government secured £78.5 million EU funding for the ground investigations of the London to West Midlands leg of HS2 as part of the EU's "Connecting Europe" programme and then were allocated up to £22 BILLION from the EU Infrastructure programme (which the Government could spend on any infrastructure programme not just HS2) It was at this stage that the original bids for construction were received and agreed. A year later, we pulled out of the EU so lost this EU funding which meant a massive funding gap that successive Tory governments have struggled to fill - but they have known about this issue for years whilst pretending nothing was wrong in the hope people wouldn't notice. Only now have they admitted defeat - when in fact they were defeated back in 2016.

Links are always good for info like this. edit. The first figure you gave should have been €78 million and we got 50% from the EU. €39 million. £22 billion would have been half the cost at that time.

Here a few more then. No I don’t line in Leeds, Sheffield, Bognor or Littlehampton. I’m not far from the airport though, so I feel it’s just about valid to post this.
