UK Politics Thread 🇬🇧

[Peak]

Oxford street with closed stores in my lifetime is something I would never had imagined.

Oxford Street is just a magnifying glass to the prototypical high street. The high street is dead. I don't see how Labour can turn it round.

Although Labour won, it seems that their victory has come because people who would've voted Tory, voted for Reform.

The UK is getting more racist.

Labour vote share looking funny in the light.

The Muslim protest vote is eye opening.

The Muslim community is big in swing state Michigan and that could cost Biden (or whomever else the Dems run) the election.

Sunak finding out that all the money in the world doesn't make you accepted when you skin colour is different.

Listen to what the 'average'Briton said in the interview.

Wait, the "I'm not White but at least I'm not Black" isn't the cheat code they thought?

I am not white but I have 'made it'

That's what Sunak and people like Braverman and Priti Patel think

Nope and they get no support or sympathy from me and I don't wanna hear that 'POC' shyt either.

They been looking down their noses at us for as long as I can remember. We always knew the deal. They're gonna have to fight their own battles.

Don't let these guys gaslight and tell you there is no race problem in the UK when Reform got almost 15 per cent of the electoral vote. Labour got some work to do.

Good thread

She looked like Tina Fey in a SNL skit when they they announced her total.

This has been an incredible night of television, from the Exit Poll reveal to everything playing out within knowing that Labour obviously would turn the country red.

The panel reaction is hilarious

Yeah, Labour won because the Tory vote collapsed. They're gonna dress this up like Starmer and Labour are popular.

If @FAH1223 is posting tweets about the 4-5 seats in urban areas where Labour lost to pro-Gaza candidates, then he should also be sharing tweets about the dozens of seats in the Midlands, North, East and even the South which Labor won precisely because vanilla Starmer was considered electable and had not attracted as many opposing votes as Corbyn

Let's not forget Corbyn was on his way to beating Theresa May despite the opposing votes until his own party sabotaged him....

Yes. Starmer is going to get lower vote share overall than Corbyn got in 2017 and 2019, butreal difference is the geographic distribution of the votes between constituencies. I suspect if you analyzed the vote by constituency, Corbyn had more votes concentrated in fewer seats than Starmer did. Under the FPTP system, that doesn't win.

Scotland is also another huge win for Labour this time around too.

 

[Piff Huxtable]

What Corbyn managed to do in 2017 was defend traditional Labor seats in a very polarizing election where the smaller parties were a non-factor. That's it.
