Labour is a spent force, the tories are so corrupt they make the mafia look like boy scouts, do the liberals even exist any more? Those three parties are broken. The SNP are the only party worth voting for.

hmm wonder why

There's a long way to go yet.

They’re failing to win back Labour voters.

IMHO they have now officially alienated a large number of voters. It’s time for a new voice. I understand that a new centrist group is forming to address the issues that matter to the people of this country. They feel politically alienated

Whomst of us could have predicted this.

But blair said any decent opposition wld be 20 pts ahead of the tories and that was before they stole £30bn and culled 100k Brits. What gives guys ?

'Would you like Tory, or Tory-lite?' 'I'll take the proper deal, the Tory!' Leg it Keith.

Racism is not rational. With a Murdoch controlled media we don't stand a chance. People would rather suffer than see a brown refugee get help.

Labour cannot out-Tory the Tories

It's because Sir Keir might be conservative enough to win back some but he's just not alt-right enough for the modern tory voter! Sir Keir is the new 'Grey Man' in British politics.

because he is god awful

A country divided by an insurmountable chasm.. Trouble ahead...

Starmer/Labour has done nothing during this unprecedented global pandemic - other than try to score points. Johnson & his terrible govt have let the country down - so has Labour!

bit early to punt on this yet..... 100,000 dead and rising.... if Labour want to make strides...now is the time to do it....(nope not a Labour voter & defo not Tory) ...there needs to an effort to call the Tories into account for the covid chaos

No one knows what they stand for. You're not going to win back voters by trying to be like the Tories, might as well vote for the real thing.

Standby for more labour party propoganda in the rag

Labour can’t even organise their own party never mind a country

With the mess Corbyn left the party in and him still tainting the party that's no suprise. I'm not a Tory voter..I've voted lid dem, green and labour. I'm left wing or centre left. I won't vote labour while Corbyn is allowed in the party.
