United Kingdom

It only took the consequences of their actions for 10+ years to weaken their support. Doing real well over there UK.

gods i hope so

i also hope it could be true for us yanks on this side of the pond.

good luck, UK!

Funny isn't it? I got a poll card through the door the other day and all I've scrolled past since is news about how I shouldn't bother voting because Labour have this in the fucking bag.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE HEADLINES, VOTE

I keep scrolling past this headline and having hope for a brief moment it’s talking about the US. Good luck across the pond

Would be nice to feel positive about it, but my expectations for a Starmer-led Labour government are extremely low. I don't believe they'll actually do anything serious to try and reverse the damage of 14 years of Tory government.

Still, seeing some miserable looking Tories would be great if they really do get hammered.

If this is anything short of a bloodbath then I’ll have lost any remaining hope I had for this country.

I don’t think I have any hope left already tho

I would love to believe this, but living in the westcountry and regularly visiting places like Surrey shows you that there are still lots of people that will forever support the Tories, or will never support Labour.

People like Jeremy Hunt, Liz Truss, Jacob Rees Mogg, and co don't get into power by accident. They're voted in, often multiple times over multiple decades.

While I really want to see a Labour government again, and while I still hold some slight glimmer of hope that Starmer is playing it coy by trying to look more centrist/right-wing than he actually is, I'm still not sold.

Daddy Putin will soon send his troll and disinformation army to save them

Thank fuck, I'll finally be able to experience a non-tory Westminster.

Yay!

I'll believe it when I see it.

Thank goodness the electorate saw through the Tories before they could do anything to cause lasting damage to the country for generations to come.

Bring it on

I think they'll get somewhere in the region of 160 seats at the least. Maybe even 200 depending on Events.

Labour have got to be seen as doing something in the next 5 years though, else it might well swing back again in 2029.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Shy tories will always mitigate the polls. It's unlikely to be a bloodbath, but the infighting after a loss might be the real killing blow to the party.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

It also suggests the prime minister is at risk of losing his own constituency, the new Richmond & Northallerton seat in North Yorkshire, to Labour with his lead less than 2.5 percentage points.

The poll also suggests the Scottish National Party would pick up 41 seats, the Liberal Democrats 22 and Plaid Cymru two.

Naomi Smith, Best for Britain’s chief executive, said: “With the polling showing swathes of voters turning their backs on the Tories, it’s clear that this will be a change election.”

The findings come after Labour sources said the party’s overall financial position remained strong despite membership subscriptions falling off because donations were healthy and unions were expected to give very substantial backing to the election effort.

Labour has suffered more than a 23,000 fall in membership over the past two months after controversies over its policy on Gaza and its U-turn on green investment, according to figures released to its National Executive Committee (NEC).The party’s general secretary, David Evans, revealed that membership, which had stood at 390,000 in January, had plummeted to 366,604 at the latest count, with more than 11,700 of these being in arrears.

Labour only had 150,000 members at the end of its last period in office [in 2010],” he said.“The state of the opinion polls suggest there is no correlation between membership and electoral popularity.”

Good, good. Let the hate flow through me.

I don't know, all the polls and predictions were saying Hillary Clinton was going to win in 2016 too...
