GE2024 Result: Neil Kinnock on Tories being wiped out by Labour (04uly24)

One time Labour Party loser leader and EU commissioner Niel Kinnock on the Labour party predicted to wipe out the Conservatives and become the new government with a supermajority, where Keir Starmer will be able to do what the fuck he likes, just like his idol Adolf Hitler.

John Smith would have been the best Labour leader we never had.

I agree i was depressed when we lost John he was a centrist too though

[@eightiesmusic1984]

@@vincentvangogh8092 I don't think you understand the word centrist. In reality it means right wing. Yes, John Smith was on the right of the Labour Party but Labour was way to the left of what it became once Blair took over in 1997 and accepted Thatcherism by yanking it to the right. By today's standards John Smith would be on the same page as Corbyn and other left wingers on many issues. Corbyn has been demonised as hard left ( a misnomer) but by any objective standard offered nothing more than moderate social democracy.

Can anyone explain the difference between Kinnock, Blair, and Starmer?

And why isn't Balls in it...err because he was...Balls!

2024 - 9,614,084
This 'extraordinary majority ' is built on a foundation of tissue paper that will collapse rapidly and catastrophically.

it doesn't work like that though does it?

@@mikeymoo1291 Doesn't work like what. I shared a fact followed by an opinion on the strength of their majority.

It will be interesting to see the turnout because I imagine there will be a significant drop that more or less illustrates the win is more a result of people not voting.

[@merseydave1]

Your observation is right ... however, it is people who support the Conservatives, they have chosen to stay at home.

Labour vote:
2019 - 10,269,051 under Corbyn
2024 - 9,614,084 under Starmer.

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

@@merseydave1 I'm seeing that it's an overall 7-8% drop in turnout after several elections of increased turnout. So it's one of the most shambolic elections in UK history.

Neil Kinnock is a legend ❤

[@robertjarman4261]

Kinnock was an Atheist.He mentioned Lazarus.Is he still?

[@Chiefmismaker]

And Kinnock is quite right about misconduct. But "entirely dependable and grown up guy"?!? What was that about Europe? Reform - they haven't been given the chance to start to solve the problems. All solutions at a high level sound simple, and might the genius be in the simple?

[@SehnsuchtYT]

I like Kinnock. I think he's a good man even if he wasn't the best leader of the opposition, he did a lot of work.

[@binkyboobosh1]

Kinnock...the best PM we never had...

[@archvaldor]

He had this pathetic desire to please the tory press and sell out his principles.

[@Alan-gx8gf]

🤣🤣🤣

[@inspectortanzi]

Who turned out to be a total sellout.

Starmer will be turfed out and corbyn will be welcomed back and take his place.
The skulduggery will be taking place when starmer is discussing biology with his wife while tucking into his brisket at 6.30 Friday night
