Hopefully they'll still manage to vote then, holidays or nay.

She's not my favourite person, but over the years Stella has knuckled down and developed into a reasonably okay constituency MP.

Not knocking her record as a fairly decent constituency and campaigning MP. Don't like her personally but voted for her last time round, just won't be voting Labour this time.

Yeah, I also agree she’s a decent constituency MP, and I’ve voted for her in the past several times.
Despite at times being (occasionally slightly tongue in cheek) broadly supportive of Labour’s need to draw a line under the Corbyn era, I think they’re too far away from what the Labour Party should be for me to happily vote for them and add to a likely landslide.
Predictably, Stella’s views on gender identity mean I can’t in good conscience vote for her this time, and can’t transfer my vote to a party with similar views

Of course not It is a very different Labour Party in 2024 now that anti-semitism is taken seriously and apologists like Corbyn, Abbott amd McDonnell have been called out.

Must be challenging for you to recognise that.

Got FoF on mute so no idea what his reply to my post says but safe to assume it's more unhinged drivel, probably mentioning Corbyn.

I’m going to take it on trust that you haven’t read his post, so im gonna challenge you. I bet you can successfully guess three other words or names he used

Genuinely haven't, he's chuntering into the void.

Not sure I can guess three because there's only one other thing he posts about, so I'll go with "anti-Semitism" (and specifically that I'm a fan of it). Close?

The seat where I live is a Labour/SNP marginal because of boundary changes. I reckon Labour will win it. But neither of them will get my vote.

I will vote for a socialist candidate and if there isn't one I won't bother my fat arse.

So what Sidney. That scare tactic doesn’t work this time. There is no Corbyn waiting in the wings, just another globalist in Starmer.

But aren't Reform just another liberal party in disguise? At the first sign of any negative publicity or attention they ditched their "true believer" candidates.
