Voter panel :lol:, FFS. He won actual votes in an actual election. For how long this meltdown will continue.
Id bet the mortgage I'm unable to apply for he's not winning his seat come general election.

It does not matter what you bet on the next elections. He already won this By election and the donkeys in the media and the other parties must sit down and understand why did he win it and try to find a solution to get these votes back instead of one day blaming the voters, and the other day calling GG names.

Coates is a total hack isn't he? Is the segment cut off before they endeavoured to ask an actual Galloway supporter why they supported him, or was that surplus to a fair debate on the subject?

Well he won with half the amount of votes needed in labours win in 2019, and less than 2nd place too.

Obviously voter turn out is less for a by-election, but its quite obvious he won on a populis platform, when labour didn't really have a candidate, they withdraw all support, and the tories were never going to win.

Of course not. They only blame them for voting for him.

I understand your reasoning, but all you are saying is hypotheticals. How do you know he will not have the same populis come the GE.

Just like what I said, they take people's vote for granted. You either vote for us or blame yourself, how about you fecking work for the vote.
Or the argument is that the party who destroyed everything to such an extent that they’re beyond repair (barring massive economic revolution) shouldn’t be allowed to keep the proverbial keys.

Because it's not hard to deduce that come general election time, under a higher turn out with an actual labour candidate, the votes he got will be split.

You add together what Galloway got and the Tory candidate and you get approximately what the tories got in Rochdale in the last general election. You stick an actually labour candidate in, they're probably winning.

I hadn't heard his views on raping women in their sleep, and his rhetoric about asylum seekers until this week. I'm astonished supposedly left wing people are dabbing on Labour about him winning
Oh because Starmer is a Tory hur dur hur

What was this? You have me intrigued.


Absolutely zero chance it is coincidence. She receives talking points directly from the Tory comms team and echos them without question. The Truss team just fecked them over by sending them all such a distinct phrase to repeat.

Client journalism at its worst.

What is someone who thinks if a woman consents to sex that consent extends to the next morning while they sleep?

What is someone who claims asylum seekers are being put up in 3 star hotels?

Not to mention his support of 'Coach Red Pill' Gonzalo Lira, a spy for Russia living in Ukraine, who was basically Andrew Tate v1.0 saying that women should be treated like dogs

Oh and he also adopts the language of transphobes by claiming to 'know what a woman is '

Etc etc

He's a piece of shit who uses Muslim communities to make as much money as possible by getting elected. He does zero for those communities, but makes sure he is as litigious as possible because it's another great money maker.

Alas he's now on the MP salary, he'll be on RTE, he'll do the bear minimum and that'll be that.

Personality politics, all it ever is. Like Big Brother without the fake pot plants.

It's fecking shocking that people of the left are treating this as a win. Corbyn is never getting into bed with this cnut but you have people in this thread actually hoping for it.

Out of all the despicable people in British politics, only Galloway is calling a spade a spade. Regardless of his motivation for doing so and his past. If any other despicable MP did the same (and kept his/her job) we wouldn't have to take this guy's side. But each and every one of them is quiet, or worse.

And she's still one of the better presenters. Shows you how bad the pool is.

It's ok, London is going to be the new Silicon Valley. You'll have to mortgage your house for a coffee here too.

They are genuinely evil. There is no other explanation.

Starmer repeating the utter shite about 'the national credit card being maxed out'

Don't worry, it'll turn out not to be when they need to renew Trident.
Yes I'm sure getting rid of the nuclear deterrent when Trump is looking like he might be getting in, weakening NATO, and we can see what disarming did for Ukraine is a real vote winner

In 'normal' times that might be a popular budget from the Tories but they've built up so much animosity that I don't think the usual cheap tricks will make any difference.

They know they'll be out of office soon, so it's all bollocks. Just the 14 years in power and suddenly they end non-dom status? feck off.

It's pretty damning of our political class that we've effectively gone from Russian oligarch money in BoJo's cabinet to now Israeli blood money in Sunak and Stamer's parties. I'm fully behind figures such as GG holding up a mirror to these spineless and corrupt cnuts.

So it isn't maxed out then.
Tridents updated technology from the US is paid for on a long, long term mortgage, if it helps us survive a nuclear attack we pay up, if not.... oops! Even Trump might spot the problem here though!!!

Looking for the answers...
Means test child benefits on household income ffs you bunch of cnuts. fecking infuriating that two working parents slightly under the threshold get far more than a household with one working parent earning above it, whilst household income is lower than the two working parent scenario.

Is that the takeaway from today's budget news?

Have you not met @Dobba ? Absolute raging right wing Tory that’s pledge to vote Reform this coming election. When Laurence Fox starts moaning about Billie taking his weans, Dobba owns the first shoulder Fox is allowed to cry on.
