Not really. A sitting government would expect to lose that many seats. The 26% swing is a false story. Labour actually had fewer votes than at the last GE. The truth is that the Tory voters just didn't vote. Blimey I never expected that of you, singing the Tory line, clutching at straws. The problem now for Labour is that they may have lost a fair wack of their metropolitan liberal minded types and those from the Muslim community over their stance on GAZA. Just as it may cost Biden in the States. Today's stats from the London Mayor election will be revealing I am not singing anyone's line, just being honest about the results.

The surprising thing is that the Tories did not receive the brutal kicking we all expected in the local elections. Christ Losing 448 seats, a 26% swing in the Blackpool election is not a kicking? Not really. A sitting government would expect to lose that many seats. The 26% swing is a false story. Labour actually had fewer votes than at the last GE. The truth is that the Tory voters just didn't vote.

Of course, it was all sweetness and light before Brexit wasn't it? No, it was a shambles then and even now the EU members cannot agree amongst themselves regarding a decent immigration policy. Let's drop the pretence that before Brexit everything worked well. Why not try to be honest with your arguments. I made no attempt to expand a pro/con EU debate. Just pointing out, in response to a post which clearly exposed no understanding, that as Members of the EU and under the terms of that Treaty, we could send migrants back to the EU country from which they departed. Now we cannot. The reality Oldie is that it just didn't happen did it! As I said, try to be honest with your arguments and don't try to pretend it all worked beautifully before.

Imagine When we were members, by terms of the Treaty, we could send migrants who arrive from a EU country without appropriate documentation back to that country. Halcyon days Of course, it was all sweetness and light before Brexit wasn't it? No, it was a shambles then and even now the EU members cannot agree amongst themselves regarding a decent immigration policy. Let's drop the pretence that before Brexit everything worked well.

Reform

It is good news Firstly that some people have a democratic outlet for their views. Secondly that the loons in the Tory Party have a home to run to. This is a re run of the UKIP episode. The trouble for them is the people they attract to represent them melt under the glare of scrutiny. Whilst they are crawling around in the under growth nobody pays much attention to what they say. Until it looks like they have a chance to be elected, then most people recoil in horror. No, it isn't a re-run of UKIP. People who voted for UKIP came from all parties.

A couple of weeks ago some pro-Palistinian protesters were walking through London with a swastika. A woman complained to a Police Officer who was stood watching, and she was told that she "had to understand the context". This was widely reported with the video shown all most news channels. God knows what sort of "context" where a serving Police Officer stands by and does nothing. Disgusting. To be fair Sir Mark Rowley apologised for this on LBC this morning with Nick Ferrari. However when Nick pressed him on the genocidal chant "from the river to the sea" ie. "we want to murder every Jew in Israel"... Sir Mark turned into slimy twisty turny piece of crap. Apparently it's not a criminal offence to chant that. Just off down Mile End to chant "All Muslims must die" and see how that goes. Shouldn't have a problem with the Met should I? I mean if I got into trouble with the Police it would mean one rule for pro-Hamas demonstrators, and a different one applied to a white middle class male. Surely not? When it comes to "from the river to the sea" and "murder every Jew" or even marching with a swastika you have to understand the context. Apparently. I can quite clearly see that you need re-education. In the meantime, how many protesters are there outside the Iranian embassy complaining about Iran supplying weapons to the Palestinians? How many Muslims are marching with "not in my name" banners regarding the Palestinians? I'll give you a clue, you won't need all your fingers to count them.

Illegal immigrants set for a flight to Rwanda have been detained,ready to go in the next- I think - week or so. No doubt the right on and Muslim lawyers ,paid for by the British tax payer,will be busy preparing their reasons as to why the flights cannot go ahead. I heard some nutty lawyer on the radio,they want to represent all these migrants and make 'loads of money' ! The "asylum seeker" who put his daughter on a dinghy where she died left Iraq in 2009,he lived in Belgium,Sweden and Finland,he made 14 applications for asylum and was turned down. He must be a wrong un for Sweden to turn his application down anyway but how did he afford all these moves ? how did he afford to get to France and then pay a criminal gang to take him to the UK ? Bus them from Dover straight to Brize Norton and fly them direct to Rwanda,if that was done they wouldnt waste their money coming here and the gangs would die out. The guy you mentioned sums it up. He has been in Europe for fourteen years and has been turned down for asylum at every turn. During that fourteen years he has had three children! Now as he faces being deported from Europe he wants to come to the UK. The incident where his daughter died......she was crushed on the boat. Apparently, men were prepared to trample over anyone on the boat. Not the sort of people we should be allowing into the UK.

I saw a picture of the holocaust memorial in London covered with a tarpaulin during a recent hate march,how much worse can things get ? You'll have to wait for the Labour Government to get in... then things will get worse. I fear much worse. Pro-Hamas sympathisers have been emboldened by the lack of Police action on their hate marches. And if you rock up in London celebrating the Oct 7th murders, with badges of the drone attacks that carried out these heinous crimes... you get... nothing. Try turning up in central London wearing a an extreme right wing symbol, let's say a swastika. The Police would have you banged up pronto, and damn right to. But hey - if it's an extreme left wing symbol - no problema. 2 tier Policing in London. Rest of the UK - it's coming to you soon.

Rwanda plan working,some "asylum seekers" have gone to Ireland but what we dont know is how many have decided to stay in France/mainland Europe instead of coming here. I think that the Rwanda plan could be expanded to criminals,must be much cheaper to keep people banged up in sunny Rwanda than in Britain, Britain saves money and Rwanda gets some more income...everyones a winner. Rwanda will not accept any illegals with a criminal conviction.

The whole point of the Rwanda policy is not to send that many people, but to deter those thinking of coming. This is what happened in Australia. The policy will take time as the information has to filter down, but it does appear to be having an effect already!

Lefties up in arms on the radio over asylum seekers being forced out the uk into Ireland , think it was tongue in cheek but radio host said it’s appalling , people being forced to flee to the eu 😂😂😂 There are plenty of Irish unhapy about this.Their culture will be coming under increasing threat and violent crime rates going up. Surely this isn't correct. We are constantly being told that illegal immigrants do not cause a rise in crime. We are constantly told that illegal immigrants actually a net benefit to the economy. Are the Irish and French mad at not accepting the return of these illegal immigrants?

Another shock was that huw Edwards was on £430,000 a tear ! The amazing thing is that he was allowed to resign ! He should have been sacked a year ago !

First off it is not a criminal trial. It is a Civil trial. There are no 'victims'. It is regarding where the sum of $130,000 came from. To put the Bond in the hundreds of millions really is a joke. The case is just yet another poor attempt by the Democrats to pin something, anything, on Trump. Let's not forget that Bill Clinton paid $900,000 to Paula Jones yet nothing was done about that. The Dems really have opened Pandora's Box with these legal cases against Trump. It was always the unwritten rule that President's or former President's were not prosecuted in this way. Just look at the free ride Biden has been given over Hunter Biden and Joe's own involvement in Ukraine. we are not talking about $130,000 here but major corruption. When Trump gets re-elected I fully expect the Republicans to go after the Biden family in the same manner. What else do the Democrats think will happen?
Oh, and the first Prosecution witness is the publisher of the National Enquirer, the most useless rag in publishing history 😁

Rayner under investigation,Lammy under investigation..."meet the new lot,same as the old lot". Same old parties, same old policies, same old mistakes, same old incompetence, different day same old sh1t. That's why I'm voting for Reform.

For the first time this year i saw British tomatoes in Aldi (Aldi only used to sell the tasteless foreign **** until Brexit) they are really tasty, so much choice of British produce in Aldi now. Buying British is also better for the environment, I think that these exotic fruits that are flown here should have massive tariffs to discourage people from buying them. Obviously I'm a free-marketeer... but I don't understand why people buy produce from the southern hemisphere. It's expensive and without going all Greeta Thornburg - this has to be bad for the environment. I remember growing up and looking forward to fresh, seasonal produce. Grown locally. Cheap strawberries, only around for a couple of months. The big supermarkets have a reputation for screwing British farmers. Maybe more regulation is required. And a Buy British campaign wouldn't go amiss. The keyword in your post is 'seasonal'. People now expect to buy anything all year round.

As I said earlier, in terms of population size the 1,300 people slaughtered on Oct 7th is the equivalent of 10,000 people in the UK. Can you imagine the UK's response if that were ever to happen?

In the 'peace talks' last week, the Israelis offered to release 900 Palestinians in return for 40 'live hostages'. Hamas responded by saying they would return 40 hostages. Israel repeated the offer, and Hamas responded in the same way. This suggests that the hostages are dead. If so, Israel will not stop, and who can blame them.

I’m m baffled , I keep hearing it will be all milk & honey when they win the next election, young women said she can’t wait for a Labour goverment as she will be able to afford a house , holidays , money in her pocket , this seems to be the theme Yes I listen to a phone in the other day & the bloke who said he was a staunch labour supporter said to lammy you 5 years to sort this country out or you’ll be gone , lammy said it will take 10 yrs to make any meaningful changes , 10 yrs!!!! So what actually will be this milk & honey I keep hearing about , it won’t sway my vote Labour way , but maybe it won’t be the s**t show it always has been ? Both Labour and Tory government policies have led us to where we are now. They have both created what we have. It is madness to expect those same parties to 'fix' it. Labour will get in, not because of what they can do, but because the Tories have been so piss poor. Angela Raynor as Deputy Prime Minister? Jesus wept!
