Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer went head-to-head in their final election debate last night before polling day.


  • The leaders clashed on a range of subjects including tax, immigration, Brexit and gender
  • Sunak accused the Labour leader of planning tax rises and having no plan on immigration
  • Starmer said the prime minister had been bullied into acting on the political betting scandal and was out of touch with voters
  • Both leaders are out campaigning on Thursday as the race for No 10 enters its final week ahead of the 4 July general election
  • All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

    I believe that a geezer in the audience, seeing the absolute dross on offer regarding potential prime ministers', stood up and said " Is this really the best we can do".
     I imagine that most people are thinking the same thing.  ::)

    The lamestream media is going balls out for Reform now, I  just wonder why non of these, er, 'so called Journalists'  never go under cover to investigate what gets said on the ground while the uniparty are campaigning for a GE.  :(

    Trevor Phillips interviewing Farage on Sky's Sunday Morning.
    A tirade of insults and interruptions,Nigel hit every one for six,sharp as a pin.
    Cannons to the left cannons to the right,the media takes up the False Actor story,with glee.
    Torys turn from attacking Labour to Reform,a Party that has had to jump into the fray at short notice. A young Party without a history,bound to be a bit rough around the edges.
    Hopefully with a great future,I dont get why Ukip doesn't amalgamate.

    Can you imagine the problems that any potential Reform MP's will have getting any business done in that rat house full of traitors?


    The uniparty is determined to smother them at birth, I cannot see any of them working with Reform on the issues that people will have voted for, with maybe the exception of Ulster Unionists, and as for the civil service (the ones with the real power) forget it.


    Also into the mix add the leftwaffe nut jobs running around destroying things because democracy didn't work for them, like the goings-on in Europe AfD in Germany, (where some AfD members have been seriously injured by the peaceful progressive left) National Rallye in France Geert Wilders in the Netherlands doing great in their respective countries and the left aren't happy.

    The shadow of lockdown hangs over the election
    30th June 2024
    None of our leaders is prepared to talk about the real cause of Britain’s troubles.

    Deputy Leader Angela Rayner brought back a familiar Corbynite line at a Citizens UK event last night, accusing the Tories of “scapegoating” refugees. Speaking to the audience, she revived the soft-stance line:


    “Refugees scapegoated, while those in power fail to take responsibility for our crumbling immigration system…It has to stop. It has to change.”


    “Scapegoating refugees” had largely faded from Labour’s rhetoric since the Corbyn era. Meanwhile, critics on the left have accused Starmer of siding with the right on the issue, all as he gets embroiled in scandal over wanting to return people to Bangladesh. It’s worth recalling that Starmer pledged to scrap migrant detention centres during his leadership campaign, though now he claims to be tough on immigration. His foregone 2020 campaign promises are never more than a few clicks away:


    “I challenge the government to give EU citizens the right to vote and be properly citizens of our country … We welcome migrants, we don’t scapegoat them.”


    His Deputy Leader is reviving the old rhetoric. Does Labour ever really change?

    Well,  if any of the other parties are sharp enough they will have picked up on this -  can only bring to mind Farage,  and challenge this at the first opportunity.

    Issues with mail-in voting are already undermining Britain’s July 4 snap election. Royal Mail failures have resulted in many voters not receiving their ballots on time in over 90 constituencies (electoral districts).Anas Sarwar, who leads the Labour Party in Scotland, complains, “One person disenfranchised is one person too many.” He notes “several cases… of people who have left to go on holiday and didn’t receive their postal votes on time.”


    John Swinney, the First Minister of Scotland and leader of the left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP), is complaining that the debacle could affect the election results.
    Mail-in or postal voting in Britain was previously restricted to people with disabilities, soldiers serving overseas, and other select groups. However, the previous Labour government introduced postal voting for any voter on demand. Fraud has been plaguing British elections ever since.In 2005, a major fraud scheme involving Muslim Labour candidates saw the courts overturn municipal elections in Birmingham, England’s second city. Ordinary citizens brought a case to court after the elections regulator and the police failed to intervene, exposing a scheme involving corrupt mailmen, child ballot thieves, a warehouse described as an “electoral fraud factory” where ballots were altered, and bags of ballots arriving late to counts.
    Judge Richard Mawrey KC ruled the then-Labour government was presiding over “electoral fraud that would disgrace a banana republic.” He would later warn mail-in voting in the U.S. is subject to even greater abuse ahead of the 2020 election.Conservative governments have made no meaningful changes to mail-in voting security. However, in-person voting now requires photo ID.July 4 will be the first general election to require ID—and possibly the last. Labour, likely to win comfortably, are signaling they will abolish it.

    Some Tory MPs claim Reform candidates are lending their votes to keep Labour out.
    How low can you go?.  So it's ok for Reform to lose their deposit and supporters to waste their money?.

    Parties on disability -


    There are 16 million disabled people in the UK – almost a quarter of the population – but many say they have felt “invisible” during this election campaign.


  • The BBC podcast, Access All, asked the main parties about their policies on disability, social care and mental health, and Radio 4’s [size=inherit]More or Less examined what they said.
  • Read link above.

    Nick Ferrari asked Labour’s National Campaign Co-ordinator Pat McFadden a simple question on LBC: “Where would a trans woman go to use the bathroom in a restaurant that’s just got a man and a woman’s facility”? Rather than answer it he reacted with faux-exasperation: “You’ve enjoyed asking this question I think in recent days, Nick.” Is Labour getting impatient for polling day?


    Ferrari hit back: “Because [Starmer] keeps changing his position.” This comes after Starmer said this week that biological males with gender recognition certificates do not have the right to enter women-only spaces, itsel following Bridget Phillipson’s refusal eight times to answer the same question. Even after the Cass Report they can barely bring themselves to say it…


    McFadden continued:


    “Look, we want to protect women only species in the end this is for the premises and I think with this uh issue you know, asking politicians this one day after another in some kind of game… it’s right to protect women only spaces uh so I’m not sure the Equality Act needs to be changed… let’s act with a bit of kindness to people uh rather than using them as some kind of gotcha question in an interview.“


    Which says precisely nothing…
