UK General Election 2029 - Trading ONLY thread

Interesting!

Another aspect worth considering are the Scottish & Welsh elections next year.

If labour do badly in Scotland (say come 3rd to Reform) & lose Wales (which they have dominated for so long), then Stammer could be toast & the game is truly afoot !

Very interesting ...

Manchester United investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Ineos, said it has stopped investing in Britain in protest over Labour tax hikes.

==> close on 50% of those that voted labour last time round thinking of switching.

... and the majority of those are English flag wavers

... unlike the new Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood - who isn't hardline at all - how can she be with a name like that

Looks like Labour are up to their 'smokes' and 'mirrors' tricks again

Corbyn/Sultana party is degenerating into a bit of a shit show already. So it looks like the greens will be taking up the 'far left' ideology.

From a neutral viewpoint, I think people would vote green given for their focus on the climate. But lurching towards the far left will remove votes from them, I would hypothesise.

Yeah but won't the Greens be tarred with the expensive Miliband brush?

Borrowing up £16.2 billion over same period last year (Jan - Aug). Borrowing in August highest for 5 years. Labour's chances in 2029 will weaken further if they don't control borrowing but to do so will need a combination of reducing spending and/or taxing more ... both vote losers.
