A lot of them were back then, likeable or not I could name many politicians pre 2000s with three words to describe them all, try doing that now with anyone outside the main party leaders

That member of the public deserved to get lamped.

I can imagine if Starmer was accused of the same it wouldn’t be accepted so calmly
Reminds me a bit of Trump supporters

Crowborough has a Tory MP - Nus Ghani.

 

I stand corrected... sure I saw a Green MP getting slaughtered at a local meeting about the camp.

btw... I used to call people cunts when I was at school, some still are.

I lived through Thatcher & Johnson as PM so doesn’t affect me THAT much

And of course if people are so upset about the current government why are YOU still here?
Mr Sharia Tice might have a spare room for you
Inshallah 

I think I already said I voted for this Government 
Pay attention

Apologies, I assumed it would be easily inferred. I voted Reform. I will vote Reform next time, too.

For avoidance of doubt, I am a Thatcherite who also voted for Brexit.

Are you prepared to be as frank and honest about voting Labour? We know someone must have.

Seem to have missed who you voted for instead of Starmer 
 

The bloke is just a plastic Oz bellend.

("I don't understand. Every time I mention Farage I call him a Nazi. Why are people still going to vote for him when I have expressly - at every opportunity - called him a Nazi? Why isn't this working? I know - I should keep on calling Nigel Farage a Nazi")

Trying to work out how getting Braverman is a good thing for Reform. Reform supporters are well known for their top priority, by far, to be stopping the boats and getting rid of immigrants. Remind me again about how Braverman did on that score while she was Home Secretary? More small boat crossings than ever and spunked millions of tax payers pounds on a failed bid to swap a few asylum seekers that had shown up in the UK with some Rwandans.

Wes Streeting: student politics to public sector wonk to Labour mp. 

Versus

Richard Tice: very successful multi millionaire businessman before entering politics, was a leading driver in the Brexit movement (the biggest exercise in democracy in our generation) 

You silly sausage. 

The rest of your comment is depressingly childish twaddle about Nazis. Can you do better?

No list (yet) if Labour ministers/MPs doing such a good job that they deserve re-electing?

Farage is a Nazi & Tice lives under Sharia law by choice 
As poor as Starmer has been being not a Nazi puts him ahead 
Streeting I understand lives in England so I put him ahead of Tice
As for Truss I think any government minister who has died recently or sustained a brain injury has her covered

Which ‘real world’ do YOU live in?
I know it’s a wet dream for you Essex Thatcherites but how exactly do you expect Nigel, Tice, Truss & a bunch of teenage councillors to run a country without driving it into a ditch

 I'm not cock-a-hoop about them, however, the left-centrist Tories and the left-centrist Labourites have completely and utterly ruined the country, dating back to the Evil Blair reign. Do I think Reform are the complete answer? No. If I had my way, Rupert Lowe would run the country, but it's not going to happen.

We need a change, and as it stands, Reform are now the only show in town. People in the real world have had enough, the destruction of the country that has happened since 1997 has finally awoken the sort of people that wouldn't normally bother to vote.

Regardless of your pathetic little digs, it's happening. Get yourself back to Australia if you're that bothered, you won't be missed.

Given a choice of Starmer, a Nazi or a continuation of Tory incompetence under Sunak (following Cameron May Johnson Truss) I did vote for my Labour candidate
I take it you voted for Reform or more of the Tories
Please advise
Dont be shy

Starmer has been atrocious which is why I was hoping he would be replaced asap
That will happen after the upcoming May debacle I suspect
