All these MPs stepping down, abandoning ship is disgusting. They shouldn't be allowed back when things are finally on the mend and looking brighter and they no doubt re-emerge. Good for Corbyn standing as an independent 👏🏼🌠
I cannot believe that Man Is still Alive 🤔
It is up to the people to remember who the traitors were and who acted with treacherous malice towards the British people. Spineless, Marx ist cowards like the BBC.
Vote for a terrible, untrustworthy fickle party...or vote for a terrible, untrustworthy, fickle party. The lowest calibre of politicians I have ever seen.
wont change anything. the people that are really in power are the tech giants and the unseen
LOL, you can't have seen very many? You were born 18 years ago, right?
Every politician is a scumbag….the lot of them.

VOTE REFORM UK!
Vote for Nick Clegg 😐🇬🇧
Vote green
No
reform are the conservatives...rats leaving the sinking ship. reform are all part of the same army of... 🪳🪳cockroaches 🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳
yes reform!!!
Everybody knows the Tories are going to lose, the only question is how Badly the Tories are going to Lose.
I went and checked the odds 20/1 for Tories to have a majority wow
Amusing. Labour has lost 4x in a row.
@@captainbuggernut9565 and, that does not change the next election.
They're going for a zero seats strategy.
@@captainbuggernut9565 yes and look at the mess we are in by a bunch of private school bend overs for the head boy bishop munchers.
Little rishi sunak has earned his rightful place in the dustbin of history. He will forever be remembered as a fart in the wind
Right
Tories out, Labour out. Demand back our human rights.
Scrap the whole system put an elected working class civilian in that is smart enough obviously. The ones who make the decisions dont care about the ones who keep the fire burning
We have human rights lmao. Move too Korea and you'd see🙄.
Let me guess your an illegal immigrant that wants an open border
Amusing. Labour wanted everyone to have an ID card. They wanted a giant database to monitor you with it.
Moscow bot.
4th July Independence Day!
Jimmy, your old mate Kier might be PM. He could give you a Pardon this time!
David Cameron back to the PM.
I have already lost. I don't want either of them to win.
The Conservatives are not who were elected, the leadership has changed, their politics morphed into an unrecognisable mess that no one asked for. Immigration a free for all without any control, a leader without any mandate or ability to connect with the nation.
Neither the Conservatives, Labour, or LibDems represent the will of the majority of the people, but merely contort a debate away from what are the real concerns..
Sunak has a plan, a plan to recite the worries held, then do the exact opposite that neither reflects the views of the public or addresses the issue. A man more socialist than any leader of the Labour Party in over 60 years.
A cigarette paper could not separate all three parties political views; political views not reflected or wanted by the electorate.
Vote for an independent candidate this election. 👍
Vote for Michael Heseltine fmr first Deputy to John Mayor 🙂👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
Lord Kenneth Clarke From Nothinghuam , North , in the Middlands 🙂👏👏👏🇬🇧
What's worse: an uninformed vote, or no vote at all (apathy)? If high voter turnout promotes legitimacy, but the voters are uninformed, then how legitimate is the government?
An ugly paradox!
The same is vert true in the U.S. We need to promote and informed electorate.
Warmest regards and God's grace upon us all.
@@mikenixon2401 the government is a reflection of society: Trump or Biden. The geriatric era of US politics.
If the polls close at ten pm , yes the turnout will be high , Thus , close polls at Eight pm 🤔🇬🇧
There's no excuse for being uninformed in today's information age, unless you're on a desert island with no phone signal (and if you are, voting's not really an option).
When will the BBC give other parties a platform ....
When Samantha Simons takes over the BBC 🤔🙂👏👏👏🇬🇧
Because the BBC is the government.
People like to bring up places like Russia having a "propaganda" channel.... Well the BBC is the UKs version.
They are rushing to prepare that as they like every one else thought the election was to be called in the autumn not now
goverment propoganda channel not going to happen .
swap one WEF puppet party for another WEF puppet party
Why do that when they can have both under a coalition government 😑
Swing or not, polls or not, Labour are going to win by historical standards. The Conservatives are history now. 👍🥳🥳🥳🇬🇧🙏♥️🌈
Does it matter? Tories and Labour are the same party. Both WEF members.
What do you actually know about the WEF? I'm guessing hardly anything, but you think talking that way makes you sound cool.
Either that or your just another tedious bot or Russian propaganda operative.
So the first lesson of politics is: 'it's not what's best for the people, but rather what's best for the party.' ?
It's impossible to vote if not registered to vote.
There's about 8 million people not registered to vote.
Tuesday 18 June 2024 is the final day that people can be registered to vote in the general election on Thursday 4 July 2024.
There's about 2.5 million people who are registered to vote who don't have valid Photo ID or Voter Authority Certificate or Anonymous Electors Document.
I can't help but think whatever choice We make will land us with the worst ever consolation prize. Welcome to Britain and lowest common denominator politics.
I've got an amazing magic trick. I'll make Rishi Sunak disappear in 6 weeks!
Wouldn't surprise me if there was a Conservative challenge for the leadership and that the 4 July is cancelled. We will see...Fishi already said he doesn't want to be wartime leader.
Keir starmer is Tony Blair 2.0.
Yes both war criminals 😢
and an opportunist. He is not for working class, thats for sure.
Blair without the flare! 😂
He Is Louise Arboure 🇨🇦🤔
When George Galloway speaks I listen, when little rishi sunak speaks I laugh at him. When biden stumbles up the stairs I laugh some more. When zelensky speaks I hide my wallet
And when you speak, I yawn 🥱 and sign off .... means you have NOTHING constructional to say just yada yada yad ya y .... 🥱
What do you do when netanyahu speaks?
Reform UK
No
god no
Yes! Wishing them well.🤞🏻
Just give us a competent alternative.
My question is which set of liars are going to take our country back 🏴
Ahhh that would be telling .
Michael Heseltine
Kenneth Clarke
Malcolm Rifkind
John Mayor
Norman Lamont
John Redwood
D Cameron
Yes, which one is going to triumphantly crash the economy and collapse the whole country like a pack of cards so it can then be reset to resemble that great country...Chyna.
People think the general election is a forgone conclusion. What they dont realise People dont trust Labour on the economy many people are as fed up with Labour also.
Dumber or dumber we all screwed
FkN amen
Tories:
"Vote us, Service ensures citizenship"
Mah. It’s really not that contentious; the notion that you should give and not just take. However it seems to have come up from nowhere and is a bit like worrying about where to put the deckchairs on a sinking ship.
@@clairee4939 It's contentious to think for a second that Britons will tolerate having to do the deeds for the manipulative authoritarian capitalists and dictators that started the mess in the first place... nah not this time. Even when war starts, the only people Britons will be fighting is those trying to force conscription.
UK and USA better move forward their AI program because what they fear has already happened... they just don't know it yet.
Sorry we don't have a 5 minute memory. Trump, Putin and the Tories can watch Briton go under quickly from the safety they have already paid for. But there will be no "Britain coming together" and certainly no mass recruitment to fight on behalf of such people.
Here is a brilliant idea... everyone who voted Tory should be forced to clean up their mess and they should be conscripted... and since the Tories think that everyone should work until their 69 we shall make that the cutoff age for recruitment of the Tories. Infact i can tell you now, over 80% of the UK would be behind that idea. Maybe we should put it on placards and give the population a idea!?
@@babalonkie Well admittedly I was stirring to call it uncontentious but only 30% of service was proposed to be in the Armed Forces and the suggestion was that this would be voluntary. You also forgot who made the Labour Party unelectable last Comrade Babalansky!
@@clairee4939 As you may of noticed... me being critical of ANY aspect of capitalism is not permitted by RUclips's new CEO... who has dealings with selling DNA and algorithms to unknown high American figures/departments (do some easy digging and you wont have to look far). Me spouting acts that are a threat to the greedy gets my comments automatically hidden... has done for the last 6 months. No problem if i criticise socialism however. But that's what you get when the rich in one country try and buy all news and social media in "Allied" countries. Ask TikTok who refuse to publicly sell their shares (allowing purchase by USA). 99% chance this will get automatically hidden due to me once again talking about the subject.
People who voted Boris did not do anything or anyone any good... only bad. It would be a cold day in hell before i put my life on the line due to the manipulative actions of the greedy... but i will put my life on the line to prevent a fellow Brit from being forced to... that's not circumstantial or restricted to "Forced conscription"... Government even threatens to withhold services or care to those who refuses... there will be retribution at home long before the "Enemies country".
Like i said "Service ensures citizenship"... A quote from a sci-fi film based on a Militaristic Quasi-Democratic authoritarian regime... who holds back all civilian benefits, jobs, care and the ability to vote until they serve in the army... and no... it's not a good idea... the entire movie was about taking the mick out of such militaristic authoritarian regimes.
Sorry the days of WW1 and WW2 are LONG gone... there will be ZERO drive anywhere near them even with bombs dropping on our heads. People would rather let the enemy walk in... hence why even at the forefront of WW3... EVERY military sector fails to hit it's recruitment target between 25-15% every year. People are done dying for the rich... so don't be surprised when most Brits who are already struggling and feel shafted feel there is little to lose with zero point or desire in fighting for nothing other than guarantying the rich keep their goods... and no... it wont make the undervalued feel valued... as like i said... those days are long gone.
Infact, i am sure a large part of this nation would infact find some peace should Russia's "Tidal wave" come...
@@babalonkieNah Comments are disappointing and reappearing all over the place on RUclips. There’s just as many people convinced it’s a lefty conspiracy! Although it also happens with quite inane comments so I suspect it’s more about how their IT systems are managed and where data is being stored if a server risks going down.
Day in day out I meet people who play the system that they want to pay out for them. Worse than this, they have a huge sense of entitlement and will cop a major strop when things do not go their way much as I see that systems are also underfunded and let people down. There’s a case for some notion of duty, not just what you can get from the state. It’s that whole “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” point. I like that idea. A lot of schools promote public service. It’s a good thing I think. With all that said I still don’t think it’s a priority and it’s a weird thing to bring up now. The issues are immigration, the NHS, the economy and housing.
Please bring peace to America 🙏
America is to blame for all the bullshit in the past few years except covid yous can sort yourselves out
Which of the two leaders of the Uniparty gets to rule over the Kings subjects this time?

Absolutely. They've even failed not to be biased in this report. Tories or Labour? Labour or Tories? There are quite a few other parties running.

and got us all cross,
Now he is going spend more time with his money

Won’t bother my arse voting. The government always gets into power, no matter who you vote for!
Zero Seats!
Cancelled my TV licence years ago. Will never pay another penny to the Biased Broadcasting Company again!!!
Lets see a range of voices in a new parliament - maybe four Green MPs, 50 Lib Dems, as well as a Labour majority and hopefully many new MPs with energy, talent, and a real ethic of public service. I hope some credible more 'moderate' Tories with leadership potential survive so that they don't turn into a MAGA Zombie tribute act. Democracies need competent opposition.
Not going to happen. All coming from the gene pool of Cameron's Common Purpose recruits, who are woke, far lefttt Marx ist socialists and have not got a scoobie doo about real life. I predict an even more stupid range of politicians who will screw up the UK even more and god help us when war hits us, who on earth will lead us in that moment of need. Dark days ahead, very dark days and no one is at the helm, we are a sinking on a rudderless ship.
I do not know what a woman is, and what a penny is
Would you please ask the Prime Minister to elaborate on the two again.
Please demand her to make the positive and reponsive report accutate short , at least shorter than mine.
I am proud of him. She would be handsome if wearing black spectacles or glasses.
Please send my regards to her " IDEALLY No More. " 佢大把水,講white lies 都唔洗本嘅。
