I despise Labour under Starmer, but hate the Tories. Be great if Tories don't come second. Starmer loses to Andrew Feinstein, Diane Abbott and Corbyn keep their seats.
Feinstien will be lucky if he keeps his deposit.. For me he symbolises everything wrong with the left, a candidate that has no chance of winning competing against the likely next pm just so you can say.. We tried. Can't the left come up with credible legitimate opposition.
We need the Greens in Parliament, and we need Labour to realise that it's a large political movement that they will need to make common cause with in the future.
OMG, you were just down the road from me being ignored by Thangam!! It’s weird that she chose not to speak with you but that’s why I’m voting Green. Will share this! Thanks Owen. X
She has just prooved her contempt towards her constituents and it's not the first time. Surely the constituents would like to see her answer some questions. So rude 😒
She’s clearly scared of what the leadership would say if she engaged. And as to why he didn’t email in advance, I expect he presumed he’d get ignored - and he’s probably right. She didn’t handle it well, she should have taken the opportunity to tell Owens half a million subscribers why they should vote for her. Weak if you ask me…
Telling that the Tories still haven't named a candidate here and no sign of canvassing. Also feels like Labour don't see the Greens as the threat they are. Vote Green! 💚
i think the tories will be terrified of campaigning for election over the coming weeks. Imagine how much abuse they could receive on the doorsteps of broken Britain.
I wish I could vote for Carla, but I'm just over the boundary in Bristol North West, but will still be voting Green. Vote tactically, but as Carla pointed out the Tories have no chance in Bristol, so Bristol Central, please vote Green.
I think thangam was incredibly rude, very cold and has an air of arrogance about her which I doesn’t sit right with me at all. Fact that she let her minions try fob Owen jones off while she tried to make a run for it just shows that she is not the person for the job completely out of her depth. Least she could do was talk to Owen jones but no just seemed very rude, cold and arrogant. I won’t be voting for Labour I have done all my life as I come from a Labour family but this Labour Party that’s taken shape has turned into something that I don’t recognise or can relate with anymore. So I’m done.
And Tories to win? Obviously you have plenty of money for private health care.Don't care about 4 million kids in poverty .Come Thelma you have a soul don't you?
@@foppo101 If Wes has his way private healthcare will be needed under Labour. Those American healthcare investors aren’t bankrolling him because they think he’s lovely. They will want payback,

Here in Keighley I will not vote labour. The labour MP endorses private companies and businesses. Also said about private companies getting near our NHS. Definitely a no from me
Isnt the Labour candidate John Grogan , a pretty left wing guy who was teh MP during the Corbyn years ? I would be surprised if he was endorsing private companies getting near the NHS . The sitting MP until the dissolution of parliament is Robbie Moore , a Tory .
I have zero hope for the future , Labour are just as bloody clueless as the Tories and will largely carry on where they left off. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
As are the greens, they are no different to the labour party except they want open borders. Young people need to research what they personally lose by following that policy..
If anyone is interested where Keir Starmer has come from politically and what has helped mould his political behaviour and beliefs please do read The Starmer Project by Oliver Eagleton, perhaps like me , after reading only 30 pages you will decide that you will not be voting for this unequivocally unpleasant individual.
Please vote Carla and the Green party in Bristol Central. Thangam and Marvin have had plenty of chances to improve the area and all they did was waste millions on Colston Hall and talk about building and underground.
I'm voting Green in Stockton West, formerly Stockton South and Matt Vickers seat. The keeping of the 2 child benefit cap is abhorrent as is Labours position on Palestine.
For the first time, I agree with that. In previous elections, and in the US election, I'd say it was a privileged position because significant differences exist and usually for marginalise people especially, but Starmer and Sunak... nope. Same. Equally evil.
@@bestcomsystems4458 You need to debate the policies of both and then compare and contrast. Instead, you took the lowest denomination: personal attack
It would be nice to actually pin someone down to being specific about what they don't like about what Kier Starmer has done. All I can get out of people is "Oooh. Some of the decisions he's made are a bit… oooh." … "He's so middle-management" … "I don't like him" … "I don't feel anything for him". I want to know the specifics of what people don't like.
It's very concerning that during a General Election campaign a prominant shadow cabinet minister wouldn't talk to a left wing journalist. What happens if she gets into government and a right wing journalist actually asks her some difficult questions? Is she just not going to do interviews and not be accountable? Is it going to be "email me and we might probably do an interview"?
Vote Green, you can vote with your conscience, Labour will win, but Bristol could be a trailblazer for a change. Labour needs to be shown that, that votes can’t be taken for granted.

A leader of the opposition calling for a ceasefire in Gaza will have zero impact on the Israelis. Most people in the UK have more pressing concerns. I wonder if Owen Jones is aware that Hamas is not big on gay rights. I'm sure Labour will cope with losing this seat, just as Owen Jones will throw his toys out of the pram if they win it.
