I know the general election is a long way off but labour need to start laying out their policies. It'll give them time to fine tune them according to public reaction.

Labour also have to be clear on Electoral reform. We need PR.

In England there has to cooperation between labour, liberals and the greens about which seats they're going after. This country can't survive another conservative government

Liberals need a new leader. I like Davey but he's just another middle aged white man in a suit. We need someone younger and with energy.

I think Starmer will do okay but he needs to showcase his other members like Raynor and Bryant (for example).

Being the fecking truth dodging clown he is... I read that he's just changed the ministerial code so that now if they break it they don't have to resign, only apologise....

Do you think public opinion may have turned slightly?

#Deathgate on Twitter is worth a read. A journalist (@MarcusJBall) has spent well over a year battling with a Freedom of Information request regarding the Prime Minister's treatment records during his time in hospital as he got treated for covid. Johnson made out he nearly died and there were preparations being made to announce and deal with his death.

TL;DR - Johnson lied about how ill the covid virus made him.

Pretty much every word from his mouth is a lie these days.

The result should be in pretty soon. Early indications are he's got enough support but that's only based on what MPs are saying publicly.
