And opinion polls have been known to be wrong more often than right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Remember that one? It's the one where the general public get to show the Labour Party what we really think about them.  They really are annoying these General Elections aren't they? Never mind, stick to the joy that a YouGov poll brings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Which, if you listen to many alleged Labour supporters and a not small number of their MPs and councillors, is even more terrible news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You should see her on Twitter, she's an embarrassment with the words she uses or what she posts. Every other post she makes is about how someone should be sacked or resign.  I can't wait until Labour are in power again (I just hope live that long!) and she inevitably screws up. All those posts are going to bite her squarely in her behind.  Can't believe she was attacking him on the price of his holiday. Does no one else, including Labour MPs never go on holidays? I don't understand this line of attack. Is she saying that no one should be allowed expensive holidays if some can't afford them?  Ah well, at least she's got her £249 taxpayer-funded Airpods.

I'm surprised she survived Starmer's cull of the left. But then he's going to need a convenient scapegoat at some point, so I expect she's going to come in handy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
