And the hits just keep on coming:

You really couldn’t make it up.

 

I’d be tempted to do the same. Hardly the crime of the century.

 

No, it’s not. But his PPS using insider knowledge to cheat the bookies - not a good look during an election campaign, is it? Especially on top of all the other Sunak gaffes.

 

Talking of Sunak gaffes…

OK, I know it’s the Guardian, but you have to admit this is funny.

 

Grimsby.

As much as I hate politicians,nobody deserves that.

 

Hey, even the Grimsby football team wont play there but down the road at Cleethorpes

 

Can't wait for your list of Starmer gaffes in the coming months, but you will have to change your newspaper from The Guardian to The Mail

 

Well, I think Farage was the winner of the debate on Sky tonight, and he didn't even take part.

Both Starmer and Sunak totally uninspiring this evening.

Sunak looked broken, and Starmer just cannot answer a question without rambling on and never actually getting to the point.

 

Thats the way it is these days.

 

Yeah and I bet none of your Labour heroes have never taken a bribe/backhander/sweetener have they

All politicians are in it for themselves, I don't know why you are intent on making out it is only the Tories that are on the take?!

 

Can I answer on his behalf? Let me see....

- Income tax starting threshold set to 20%
- Foreign aid halved
- VAT on energy bills scrapped
- Get the benefits scroungers back to work
- Fuel duty lowered
- Non-essential (illegal) immigration frozen
- Immediate deportation of illegals
- Leave the ECHR


....and that is for starters. What is not to like

At the end of the day, I will purely be voting for what is most financially rewarding for me & my children, followed by protecting our borders from invaders who have no intention to ever work and positively contribute to our country

Bollocks to foreign aid, net zero, student loans, teaching kids how to be trannies....I couldn't give a flying fook about it all. It doesn't benefit me. We have turned into a snowflake country in the last few years and it is time it went full circle. Reform are the only party aiming to instill some "great" back into Great Britain, Labour & Captain Hindsight want the total opposite

 

Couldn't.................put......................it...............better.

 

This is what you are voting for, something I've realised in my latter years. If they actually admitted they were part of the system designed to screw us I'd respect the honestly. You as an individual mean nothing to them, merely a cash cow that needs rinsing.

 

Hands down the best quote last night was from Captain Hindsight: "my father was a toolmaker..."

Yes Kier, he certainly was!

And why do these idiots always pipe up with some really cringe sayings like that, as if they can somehow relate what it is like to be from a working class background like most normal folk. It's akin to when you hear someone say "I can't be racist, I work with a black guy and we get on fine.."

 

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

 

If Starmer gets elected he will undoubtedly make mistakes. But I can’t remember any sitting PM making the sheer number of crass, avoidable gaffes as Sunak has in the past few weeks and months. The guy is utterly clueless.

 

Starmer is 20 points ahead in the polls. He doesn’t need to be inspiring. He needs to be steady away, not make any Sunak-like gaffes and project competence (in stark contrast to the last three Tory PMs).
YouGov poll had Starmer winning their second debate by 64% to 36%. So he did his job.
