I voted Tory because my parents did, but even they stopped voting Tory, my mum voted Labour in 2015 shortly before she died. Labour are done unless they return to traditional Labour policies, being Tory-lite is never going to win enough votes, and frankly they don't deserve to win at the moment.

I didn't vote Labour because a vote for them would have let a Tory in, in what used to be Oliver Letwin's constinuency, a man I respect but rarely agreed with. LD's beat the Tories! Apart from my first GE when I misguidely voted for Thatcher, I learned quickly(!!!), I've been solidly Labour since.

Same here. Labour has become a pale imitation of the Tories and has really taken on the mantle of post Thatcherite Conservatism, a far cry from Labour of my youth. Keir Starmer has let the country down in everything he does and doesn't do.

I think the Tories did a fairly good job for 14 years, but this goes above and beyond!

It's not that they don't care, it's their modus operandi.

I don't feel safe from the political class pretty much regardless of party. I feel immensly safe with immigrants, legal and 'illegal'.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I would go further, it betrays your values as humans. President Biden is a 1000x the person Trump will ever be!

Trump's administration won't, but Trump's Fourth Reich won't last for ever and the Nuremburg 2.0 trials will make the first set look like a party!

β€˜Huge mistake’: Labour in turmoil as Burnham blocked from byelection race Allies of Greater Manchester mayor say No 10 has β€˜chosen factionalism’ as decision leads to a furious backlash

@Keir_Starmer has made some pretty crass decisions since becoming PM but this is probably the most significant nail in the @UKLabour coffin. Those of us who are traditionally Labour supporters are so disappointed in this useless leadership.

One thing is sure, tomorrow will be even worse! There is a saying, 'there are only two absolutes in life, death and taxes.' It needs amending to, 'there are only three absolutes in life, death, taxes, and Trum's stupidty.'

I would imagine, after the regime's cut backs on DEI hires that they are very short of maintenance people and they have to choose between protecting the President or protect the country!

As a Christian I will say, the way Johnson behaves is antithetical to the teachings of the Bible and Christ, he can claim to be a Christian, but that doesn't make him one.

Maduro is a despicable man and his regime came to power by cheating and other distasteful practices, in much the same way as Trump came to power. The solution is never military intervention or meddling in other country's affairs, the solution is to allow the people to have free and fair elections.

Simple, @cbsnews.com are following the orers of Herr Trump! The good thing is, those responsible will be held to account come Nurenberg 2.0.
