16% so far. Tax the wealth. Stop funding the genocide. Stop throwing minorities under the bus. Stop sucking up to nonces. Improve people’s lives: we can no longer afford circuses, we can barely afford bread.

What does nonces mean here? Non native speaker here!

It originated from prisoners who have done something despicable, so that they would be at risk from the rest of the prison population: Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise. NONCE.

Nonce: child rapist.
Refering to Trump mostly, but our Prince Andrew is also a child molestor. He’s walking free and living a life of luxury few of us will achieve.

Well at least the Greens are polling relatively high. Hope that trend grows now with new leader + possible collapse of Corbyn/Sultana.

Those kinds of numbers unfortunately don’t usually translate into seats under FPTP, especially with one party so far in the lead.

Not surprising. This country is basically a clown show, and he helped build it.
NoPanko@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
Well helped perpetuate it anyway, it has been a clown show for a while now

the amount of people who forget that we had over a decade of Tory rule astounds me sometimes
urno@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Seems a bit rough to overlook the previous Tory shitshows?
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Behave like Tories and get treated like Tories.

I haven’t followed UK politics much lately, but sounds similar to Labour in NZ. Take over from conservatives trying to sell off the country and fuck over the poor, win a mandate super majority election, do nothing or worse, back track on your progressive campaign promises… Get railed in the next election.
And the government that took over is the worst we’ve had in decades.

Which doesn’t explain the reform support.
queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Fascinating from a US perspective. When Democrats perform badly we don’t blame the Party, we just scream at the voters for not voting for the Democrats hard enough
circuscritic@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
The Democrats never fail us, we just continually fail them.
Which is also a sentiment extremely popular on Lemmy.

Who could have thought that saying “fuck you and by the way my opponent is right” to voters would not be a winning electoral strategy
huf@hexbear.net 3 weeks ago
yeah, why is he in crisis? this is what he worked for. tirelessly.
sgtlion@hexbear.net 3 weeks ago
The only thing I’m pushing for from the government now is proportional voting before the next election. Otherwise we’ll be in a fascist Reform hell.
iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I have been telling since the start, Keir Starmer is a seat warmer for Nigel Farage.

I thought the Democrats' 27% was bad, but holy fuck.
obelix@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
He’s shit and everything, sure, but this is The Express. I wouldn’t even use the paper to wipe my arse.

Shows his pandering has not worked, wouldn’t you say?
Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
So how did sucking at the orange teat go for ya laddie?
Lastangel@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
Jesus, are people using the Express as a reliable source of anything nowadays?
ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
I wonder how many Labour PMs we’ll see before the next GE.

Who would have thought being a Zionist, billionaire serving, authoritarian bitch would go down badly?
9point6@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s honestly baffling how tone deaf his government is
yucandu@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The polls suggest the people want leaders who are more of those things.
PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
i probs would have voted for them in the next election, but then they called me a Jimmy Saville supporter…
so fuck em…
