I stopped paying for a licence fee for the reason they are so biased towards the right wing and could use my money on better things than supporting this agenda.

I never watch TV on any channel. I don't miss it tbh. If BBC wasn't biased so much may have considered keeping one.

Sunak taking questions from Conservative councillors posing as ordinary workers/voters. This is embarrassingly basic stuff to be getting so wrong.

Sad levels of desperation. Just now realised they paid Rwanda all that money for nothing. Calling an election you're certain to lose early meaning it'll be wasted money for sure just a further indication they're so wasteful with public funds. The only silver lining for the Tories is that they've screwed up so bad Labour cannot do anything. The immigration topic will be insufferable and they won't be able to stop any boats or anything. There is literally no money, they owe so much, borrowed so much, wastec so much. Labour cant spend anything. So if the Tories get a charamatic leader and bank on Labour losing their own supporters by being Tory-lite or just restricted they have a chance next time round possibly |

Can't believe the Tories actually think re-instating Matt Hancock or Bob Stewart is in anyway a good look before going to the country and asking to be re-elected.
Two people who were kicked out the party for very good reasons and we now are expected to treat what they've done as okay. |

Thr country rrslly does have no money left; Tories "spaffed" it all away, to use Blojo's words, and borrowing is so high, ans the economy has just rrcovered from being crashed by Truss, plus threm siphoning money off for thrmselves, their friends, especially during the virus, plus Brexshit... The Tories has a great economy after Labour. It was recovering well, due to Gordon Brown,xs plan, which was adopted WORLDWIDE!!! The public decided the Tories would have a brtter plan lol. |

Yet somehow I feel the Tories could sneak it if they tap into the right demographic. I.e. go even nastier.
Also, "a goodwill gesture"? What's even the point? |

I will go with the same prediction for this General Election that I made at the start of the year - that Labour will win the most seats & a working majority, but only just, meaning that they will rely on support from Lib Dems to get certain policies over the line whilst dealing with an "awkward squad" of around 10 MPs that dig their heels in at every turn. That's even with every opinion poll giving Labour a 20 point lead for the past 18 months - six weeks is a long time and things can change massively (there's no way that Reform will be anywhere near 5% in the polls come July), and in terms of where things stand I would only give credence to them in the week leading up to the election.
Of course I've been wrong in every Generation Election prediction I've made on here since 2015, so I'll probably be wrong again. |

I think Reform will not do well at all though, most on the hard right wing will vote Conservative because the right wing media will tell them to (eg. 'a vote for Reform is a vote for Labour'), and becuase of the promise of the immigration Rwanda policy.

Noo, the comments online from them are VERY anti Tory. They won't go to Laboue, so that leaves Reform.
