Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives on Friday suffered two crushing UK parliamentary by-election defeats but averted a “3-0” drubbing by unexpectedly holding on to Boris Johnson’s old Uxbridge seat.
The grave problems facing the British prime minister were highlighted when the opposition Labour party secured its biggest-ever by-election win in the once-safe Tory seat of Selby and Ainsty in Yorkshire.
Earlier the centrist Liberal Democrats demolished a massive Tory majority to win the seat of Somerton and Frome, opening up a dangerous new front for Sunak in the Tory heartlands of England’s South West.
As I have already explained, Labour’s plan is to raise taxes on the rich (through abolishing non-dom status and VAT exemption for private schools) and to invest that money in building green infrastructure and housing, while reforming planning to make that happen. Starmer says this stuff all the time but you’ve instead opted to get your news from YouTube comments.
As for the Lib Dems, doing what their members ask, I have two words: tuiton fees.
It’s not nearly enough none of that actually fixes anything it’s again just faffing at the edges and I don’t believe he won’t u-turn the second the Daily Heil throws a headline at him.
What you need to realise is that there’s a growing number of people feel the same, we are sick of this shit.
Yeah, a fucking Labour policy in the first place.
You’ve obviously decided to vote Lib Dem regardless of reality, so I’m not sure there’s any point continuing this discussion.
What we’ve established is that the Lib Dems and Labour have the same vices, as enumerated by you, but that Labour have the policies closest to your own. If you think that’s a reason to vote Lib Dem, I guess that’s your right. As for me, I’m going to vote for the party most likely to do the kinds of things that we both want: Labour.
