I imagine Kier Starmer will be ‘passing’ bricks about the upcoming local elections. What are people’s predictions on what could be a turning point for British politics?
Thought we could only discuss politics on a Sunday to avoid the forum becoming a flame war?

this is a local Election so ultimately won’t change Westminster in the slightest.
Obviously England has seen a decisive swing Right ( to what magnitude I believe I won’t say), but I think the bigger of his worries is the Possible Green- SNP - Plaid- Sinn Fein block.
With the Scottish Greens warming relations with both the SNP and Greens of E&W, and the attitude of co-operation between the SNP and PC, and the talk of a possible SNP Sinn Fein alliance, I wouldn’t be surprised if SKS is worried about losing the Left wing Vote in Scotland and Wales
Also the Scottish Labour Leader alledgely asking Reform UK to work with them definetly doesn’t help their Narrative of
“Indyref2 is in Russias intrest” when Reform is the party of the Russian Propagandist
Not a rule I’ve heard of before, not against it though
Or maybe we can have a politics tab people can opt in or out of
Tried before due to vorderman - started okay but then drifted

I think it’s ended up as one of those unofficial rules to keep the forum generally harmonious & avoid too much pressure on the mods.
Keeping direct political discussions to between 8am & 8pm on Sunday makes it easier for the mods to keep an eye & tends to fit with the themes of the Sunday morning BBC & itv programs.
Happy to give my predictions but in keeping with the unwritten rules of the forum, I’ll wait till Sunday to throw in my two-penith

I’m surprised being a politics thread that it lasted for as many posts as it did before needing closure!
