Why would we thank you for helping Portugal?

This is absolutely hilarious.

You can't do very much when you're in opposition against a government that won a massive majority, what they have done is made themselves electable and increased their support across the country. Pretty much all of our National Services have consistently been better run when Labour are in power - regardless of leader. If you'd rather increase the chances of more Conservative and Reform MPs in the commons, instead of Labour MPs, because you don't like it when Labour try to appeal to a wide enough section of the electorate to actually win, then you do you.

In the vast majority of constituencies a vote for a non-Labour left, center-left or centerist candidate isn't realistically increasing the chances of mixed parliament at all, it's taking your vote away from the party most likely to beat the Conservatives/Reform. If you're in Bristol Central or Brighton Pavilion by all means vote Green if you're apathetic about Labour, in Sheffield Hallam or one of the Lib Dem/Tory battlegrounds then absolutely vote Lib Dem. But for the vast majority of people, and certainly for the vast majority of FoxesTalk posters (given that this applies to every Leicester and Leicestershire seat) a vote for anyone but Labour is boosting the Conservatives and Reform.

What do you want Starmer to do in opposition when the Tories have an 80 seat majority? He's pressured them in the Commons, made sure they're held to account for the shit they do and consistently had Labour polling well above where they were at the last General Election. Labour aren't going to win by default, they've worked hard over the last 5 years to expose the Tories and to broaden their appeal so that it's not just a smug holier-than-thou cult of people who think being morally superior to everyone else is more important than getting into power, stopping the Tories doing what the Tories do and undoing some of the damage they've done to our public services. Labour are a party that's incapable of winning by default, the system is literally set up so they can't just win by default, they played a huge part in Johnson's unravelling and they've done remarkably well in the commons to keep the pressure on them in spite of their limited numbers, they've earned the vote of anyone who actually cares about all of the people in the country.

Just like Leicester, you live in the past.

'Think what a Labour government would mean'... The end of this Tory government

Oh no Labour will crash the economy? Well thanks for warning me Conservative party who literally just crashed the economy.

I reckon there's a good chance it's just that most ordinary blokes are pricks.

Wout you need an agent who comes up with plausible links, nobody is going to believe this for even a second.

Lots of Forest fans love him, that has to be a good sign.

Not happy, not unhappy.

Goals for 16th Goals against 16th

Usually Son, but I imagine Maddison will also chip in.

****ing horrific, bit depressing how quickly it's been relegated from the BBC homepage as well.

Probably quite hard to convince even the dumbest of Tories to go out and put leaflets through letterboxes right now.

They will absolutely get seats, now Reform are polling above them the Tories are going to hemorrhage voters to them

Yes I now think Reform will be second instead of the Lib Dems

Well at least the club's still capable of levels of incompetence that leave me gobsmacked, that's got to be a good sign.

Labour got 40% of the vote last time. They will lose a tiny section of that to people who think that it's an Israel/Palestine referendum, and gain a shitload from people who want sensible politicians interested in more than a single issue in charge of the country.

Good news, hopefully they'll get some people who know what they're doing to operate it soon.
