- “They might be clinging onto a shred of a silver lining.”
The Conservatives made it into second place in the Blackpool South by-election, which will be a “small victory” for Rishi Sunak, says YouGov’s Patrick English.

Who is still voting Conservative? I can't understand how they get any votes at all
The same numpties who kneecapped the UK with a vote for Brexit. Doesn’t matter anyway…Labour won’t be much different. Not voting this year, waste of time.
rishi allows assylum seekers to come in and vote for him
The super rich! Sadly
So you're happy with Labour?
And who's voting labour
Did they expect anything else. The way they have mistreated British citizens is crazy. They should be getting jail time 🤷♂️
Trouble is - Labour will not be a disaster in their own right and don’t even get me started on a Lib Dem government! There is a divide on local council elections and national ones. Lib Dem’s have been brilliant councillors in my area, but I would never, never vote for them in a national election because of their national politics.
Remember Cameron & Boris fit the definition of Mass Murderers. Sunak assisted and supported Boris to do so.
@@suecharnock9369I wasn't aware that lived them his hand any national policy.
Jail time for conservatives and pay back all the money you stole from UK taxpayers and the disabled
Pantomime and paydays. Conservatives want you to vote Labour, it is their turn but both parties work for the same globalists and have the same objectives And like any good Pantomime you'll skip to their beat.
This is a fiction.
They can't turn anything around.....over a decade of decline and the mood of the country is very low. The contempt they have shown for the British people has been criminal......Tories out!
Yea Labour will sort it out…then 15 years later we’ve had enough of them and then Tories get back in. History repeats itself. Labour and Conservatives, two cheeks of the same a*se.
Labour would be ten times worse. They will let MILLIONS of illegals in and try to overturn Brexit
@monktontrimble763 you think labour are not in schwabs and gates pockets cos they are ,ask them there stance on net zero or the pandemic response being handed over to the w,h,o ,they will be fully in for it to happen dont think the agenda changes cos labour get in the only winner in a constant two-party horse race is the ones who own both parties
@@darrengallagher2208The WHO would at least be able to understand a graph of epidemiological data, Boris couldn’t!! And the Hard Right Tories would have him back in an instance to 'gaslight' the demos about those 'sunlight uplands' that are 'just around the corner'!!!!
@chrisviking7807 The 1% ; that includes the Party itself and their core voter base, the 30% who will always vote Tory and still think Brexit is a 'good' move for the UK!
It blows my mind that the tories held any seats... People are so dumb
Almost as dumb as voting labour.
You can apply that to people voting labor too.
@karaloca you can also apply it to anyone that vote any other party

He is delivering by getting rid of the conservative party 😂

The state of the NHS has never been so bad and potholes, well, it’s like an obstacle course!
Experienced it....family members being mis diagnosed, brothers knee brace put on wrong way twice, 18 hr wait in A&E, wrong medication given, blood tests lost twice, father in law given all clear with cancer, only to find out hes got 6 months, and I buckled my alloy wheel, burst tire on a pothole last month to top it off :( But yeah, give another 500 million to fund forever wars so Putin cant take over the world even though he only asked for the Ukraine to not join NATO as the condition not to invade.

The best Labour or anyone can do is to slow the UKs decline down unfortunately while the brexit mindset continues further decline is inevitable.
if labour get in they better get there facts right because i can see something very nasty will happen if they dont tow the line,the english have had enough
@@kopynd1 That's what 14 years of Tory rule does to a country.
and the illegal boats still come and at record numbers
Which is what happens when you a) fail to allow people to claim asylum from abroad and b) fail to process claims as a whole. Also, when you criminalise all other routes. It's almost as if the Tories needed the small boats to enact the Rwanda policy as they thought it would be a huge vote winner. Instead, it created Reform.
@@larryfroot Yes, the answer is; allow an infinite amount of claimees living abroad to file for 'asyIum.' Why has no-body ever thought of this before? Could even make a little app for them, so they could make the claim while sitting on the throne for their morning dump. We simply just have to make it that bit less stressful for them while gaming our system, right?
It is very simple. Companies such as (tory donors) serco/mears, whom are in receipt of multi-biIIion £ government contracts to facilitate this mess is a major factor as to why it is. They profit from it then it continues. Always follow the money.
If the Government really wanted to stop them they only had to close the borders and stop giving those that are already here handouts. Also stop them bringing in their extended families. Enough is enough.
@@Frank-mi7fq All they needed to do was apply the rules from the beginning. They let the situation badly snowball in order to make political capital out of it. All they succeeded in doing was creating the Reform Party.
Voted tory in this local election? Should have gone to SpecSavers.
True and it's always worthwhile going to Specsavers for a check up first to make sure you're seeing clearly and give yourself peace of mind...
Same for Labour
A bloody vote for any of them is voting for your own Demise
Yes well said totally agree liars TICE farridge are just more of the same
Agreed, they are all as bad as each other, people forget how Labour were before, remember Gordon Brown, who taxed us all to death, wiped out the pub trade overnight with the smoking ban, raided pensions, the white elephant of the Dome which was sold for a pittance, paying people 30k a year to stay at home, then presided over the biggest financial crisis ever in 2008 with a run on bank never seen before, then leaving the country 1 trillion in debt, when in 1997 the country had growth of 5% and there was over 400 millon in surplus when Tony Blair came into No 10.
This Labour are Tory Lite, there is a rizla between Sunak and Starmer, people think it will get better, it could be as worse or even as worse going forward hence why Reform is now coming, it's time for Proportional Representation now in the UK, this first past the post system is outdated now and not fit for purpose.
Big splash Penny Mordaunt has a dilemma; after she moves into number ten is it worthwhile unpacking the boxes.
England for the English
There re hardly any English in England they all live abroad.
@alikamal3464 cos we are being over-run with invaders
History is being made in UK politics, with a new boy on the block, reform UK will go on growing and shocking the system, with the public behind, wanting just to have a party that will listen to them reform is more in that favour.
This is just what we needed. The Tories thought they had it in the bag, now they know they could be ousted they might start keeping their promises.
Unfortunately an even further lurch to the right,Liz Truss comes to mind.

@@odogg686as they did in 1930s Germany.
@@paullittle5200 that’s correct. Because they’re a UK based party in 2024. Also in 1930s Germany they wouldn’t have had seats because it was a one party state. Hope you feel informed now.
@@odogg686 Germany wasn't a one party state until 1933,that's the point they rose to power similarly to reform.
Zero seats.
The Conservatives deserve it, party is totally split how can Lib Dem remainer Cameron be in the same party as thatcherite right of centre leave voters - it has to END !
Thatcher would never have backed Brexit, that’s the level of delusion on the Tory right now, they still think they are Thatcherite when they have destroyed almost her whole political legacy as Prime Minister. Angela Rayner is the epitome of the kind of person Margaret Thatcher supported to get ahead in life and look at how much the modern Tories and Tory media pour hate on her… Says it all.
There is no conservative party. We have instead; a perverted version of BIiars globalist clique, in its place for a long time now.
Bye bye, Tories!
Conservatives lost 122 seats Labour gain 52 that leaves the others taking 70 seats …… so hopefully it won’t be. Labour nor Conservative win, come the General election
The bookies inform me that Labour are going to WIN the election...you're welcome...
After two years under a labour government you will all be crying to have the Tory's back in power. All these mainstream Politian's are the same. I will vote for a decent independent candidate rather.
In your humble opinion. You are upset that democracy is working as intended and I get that. I accepted 14 years of misery under the conservatives so I will be happy if they lose the general election. Either accept it or do something about it. Everything that goes around comes back once again.
oh no theres the peoples terms and conditions for those who are re elected now, no more mister nice guy
The Tories are finished but voting labour is also an act of national self harm.
Don't elect people who despise you and despise your country.
sit down old man your race is run.
Also dont elect bigots and racists, Guess we should all vote green party ?
And don’t vote for a Ltd company masquerading as a ‘political party’ that was setup with the sole goal of making money from its ‘members’.

catastropic as well

Aw man what a shame second I can’t wait for a General Election😂
lol shock horror. Although the thought of Labour's open arms 'refugee' policy doesn't fill me with joy either.
The tories have overseen one of the biggest levels of immigration into this country ever. They just hide behind scapegoating the few thousand that come in small boats driven to it by those same tories removing legal avenues and refusing to work with EU neighbours. Then tell us that a scheme that costs more than £1miilion/person to deport them is some kind of solution. Meanwhile the real impact on our economy is tory economic incompetence and outright corruption. They gave £billions to their mates under cover of covid yet try to convince us that our problems are the fault of unwelcome foreigners.
