28% swing to Labour in Wellingborough yesterday ??.

If the Wellingborough voting pattern is repeated at the next General Election, this would make the Conservatives the third Party behind the Lib Dem’s with only 15 seats and Labour would have a 470 seat majority - source “Election Maps U.K.”

Surely Sunak realises the gig is over and the longer he continues to squat in Downing Street the worse it is going to be?

How do the LibDems pick up 31 seats losing 3.2 pts if replicated. LibDems lost their deposit in Wellingborough.

Speaking of deposits, where's Fabio?

We are sleepwalking into a Labour government.

Time to emigrate I think.

I wouldn't worry, this Labour party are offering little to no change. Maybe just less corruption and narcissism.

Mostly no change.

Corruption etc. is debatable.

Less competent.

The worrying part is their open borders policy, their pandering to extremist "progressive" ideology and their need to satisfy their union paymasters.

Some people at the very bottom may be better off, particularly if they are a minority group or in a unionised industry.

Those of us who aren't any of those and, while not being affluent, can't claim state support or benefits will be worse off as the money has to come from somewhere.

Presumably because their loss of vote share is less than the Conservatives and so in Lib Dem / Conservative marginals where Laboutr have no chance, the Lib Dems would bleed out less than the Conservatives and still finish with more votes.

They don't have an open borders policy. And the unions have nothing to do with immigration. So nothing to worry about here.

Maybe, but I don't think Labour are actually going to do much positive for poorer people. Maybe less austerity.

Not sure I understand how helping ordinary people would make us worse off? Maybe if the government didn't hand billions to its pals for faulty PPE we could help ordinary people?

If you look at the Dems top target in England (Wimbledon) then with Wellingborough swings, it would still result in a Labour win. Labour were 14pts behind the Dems in 2019.

Will wait and see but I can't see that many seats for Lib Dems.

Has Farage thrown his hat into the ring again, for any forthcoming by election?

Economics is really very simple to understand. The concept unfortunately gets tweaked by ideologists who think that extremes of economic levers will bring about better results for one section of the population at the expense of another.

The Conservative ideologies since Thatcher have all been about the free market economy and privatisation and this has worked for big business and it has brought great wealth for some.

What is now needed is a complete reform of the economics of the country and the next Government needs to simply invest in people - from cradle to grave.

We the people generate the economic output of this country. Birth rates are always lower when young people don't feel confident about the future and this really needs to change.

The country needs a conveyor belt of well-educated human beings who have been delivered from birth to adulthood well-fed and through an efficient education system. In life generally, people need to be mobile and be able to work and provide for their own families knowing that if illness befalls them, they can be treated quickly and efficiently.

We are failing in so many ways and the end result is a declining birth rate, a poor education system, poor healthcare, poor public transport and poor outcomes in life for far too many people.

Addressing these issues is not difficult to do and it can be done by any Government. It needs long-term strategic planning and a desire to invest in the future of the people of this country.

All my days I have lived with one or the other labour or tories both have consistently messed up, but we all still vote for them.

I do not know about you, but when I was young elderly people would warn us but we called then smelly or cat lady taking the mick, well it is not so funny now, as I realise that those elderly people have voted for the same parties labour or conservative.

For me it is time to stop and let them know why.

We have already been told who's next in, so why bother to vote just give them the keys to number 10.

What would that mean in seats terms for Reform using the same calculation. I see they got around 13% and the lib dems just under 5%. In fact reform got more than the lib dems, the greens and an independent, combined.
