Just very funny how the sensible centrists are turning on eachother
They’ve lost the likes of Stephen Bush snd James Ball though…
And yet all they can talk about is how asylum seekers aren’t welcome
I can’t believe they’re still at it
I guess when you disregard all evidence that Starmer is unpopular, you can assert that he is actually popular.

But putting your head in the sand is how Labour loses the next election. I’m not willing to see Farage deport my partner because of your delusional loyalty
Honestly I think a lot of Green voters will find it very hard to vote Labour regardless of the tactical rationale for doing so. Gaza, trans rights, immigrant rights are justifiably seen as red lines by many people.

A lot of those people will be in red/green marginals tbf
Quite feasible based on current polling that voting Labour will be splitting the progressive vote in many seats
I need convincing that tactical voting will be much more efficient at the next election versus previous ones.

If anything, the fact that the parties are polling so closely, the unpredictability, and Labour’s hostility to progressive and pro-independence voters would make it *less* efficient
Are you implying that Starmer should never have told the left to leave as he did?
You’re not wrong, but every single election cycle people talk about tactical voting as if it’s this brand new thing which will change everything.

People always have voted tactically and are largely pretty good at it. There isn’t a huge untapped margin there imo
I thought we were fleas to be shaken off?
Exactly. The cordon sanitaire is completely broken
I suppose that fits with the demographics the last loyal holdouts of the Starmtroopers tend to have…
Even if they row back the policy in its entirety, which they won’t, they have done an incalculable amount of damage both to millions of people and to British society just by proposing it
Who is Compo? The This Is England character?
He’s obsessed, just yesterday he was swearing blind to me that Starmer never said that there were too many immigrants working in the NHS.

Apparently Starmer saying ‘the NHS recruits too many people from overseas’ means something completely different…
Caerphilly the only election where a ruling party has declared victory after winning 12% of the vote
Haha of course it’s that Marlowe person
Most of the people mist at fault for this catastrophe are directly accountable to the leader
Maybe not but can the problem be fixed without Starmer going? It might be necessary if not sufficient
