  • Sky News has singled out the town of Grimsby as a key target in the upcoming general election.
    It turned Conservative for the first time since the end of the Second World War in 2019, with many people at the time feeling a cultural rift with the Labour Party.
    But are Grimsby voters now turning their backs on the Tories?
    Tom Parmenter talks to residents and ask what they would like to see in the chancellor's budget. Full analysis here: news.sky.com/story/target-tow...

      My family own a small consultancy business and we are a big fan of the conservatives. In the past few years we had good contracts by the great britain government for HS2 and business has been booming. So much that our business able to help my 19yo little sister to buy 3 bedrooms house just outside London. We will support the current government in 2024 as we have been v successfull in the past few years. I dont know why people hate the conservative party so much.

    People are turning to Labour or Reform. But only the former is realistic. What experience does Reform have? They gave us Brexit, and how has that benefited anyone? Brexit is like some naive young man who spent all his savings on cryptocurrency and has nothing to show for it. Reform is the same salesman promising the new cryptocurrency will solve everything. There's a smart way to vote and a smart way to invest. Labour and a diversified portfolio of stocks. Quit with these gimmicks.

      I'm from Grimsby and I voted remain, but in a town where people have not had their voices heard for generations, I can see how people were duped into voting for brexit, because they hoped for something better. 'Sup it up' is a bit of an insensitive comment really, just feeds division and is part of why we're in this mess.

    • @mikethespike7579
      @mikethespike7579 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@idlenavigator4980It's not people getting duped that's my point. I understand that people were gravely mislead and I have a lot of sympathy for them.
      But there's a species of brexit voter who doesn't deserve any sympathy. Who thought they'll profit from brexit and to hell with those who'll suffer. The "I don't care as long as I'm alright" brigade who knew brexit would mean a lot of pain for many, many others but didn't care.
      As for "sup it up", sorry but I simply cannot resist. I campaigned hard for remain, pointed out the dangers and disadvantages of brexit, and reaped mostly cat calls of "project fear" and after the referendum "sup it up". Flinging that back into people's faces is my way of getting it out of my system. That's the least brexit voters owe me.
