The Sky News bench was at Owlerton dog track yesterday and the views confirmed what I?ve been saying for a while. Labour will win but there?s very little joy at the prospect of a Starmer government with one Labour voter saying they couldn?t stand him?

You have been saying Labour will win for a while. I think you started when the polls averaged +20. Your political nous has been so unbelievably bad over the last 4 years though and your prediction wobbled my confidence. Now Sky has interviewed a punter at a dog track, and he confirms your view, I?m going to lump on. I like Starmer though, he?s a ruthless winner.

I?ve got my finger on the political pulse of the area. I?m not tied down to any doctrine and that makes political dyed in the wool voters confused and frustrated. Perfectly highlighted by your highlighting of my posts after your brief hiatus. Welcome back, you?re much better in small doses.
BTW I?m definitely going to end up paying Ashate ?20 for my bet with the earl although the ?40 with you to the sane cause is still on a knife edge.

I too watched the piece in question.

Won't do a person by person breakdown but they were all Labour voters.

Well, apart from one saying he'll go 'Reform' (yeah, I know).

The constituency will be Labour at the election.

Folk will have to decide for themselves why the self admitted Labour hater you named chose to interpret things the way he did, in the same way they're fully aware of his history of 'backing the wrong dogs'...

Self admitted Labour hater? Surely not another falsehood like my repeated refusal to condem the Jan 6 riots. I?m still awaiting proof of that as well. You may have meant Starmer hater, not sure I hate him but I?m certainly no fan.
Folk will have to decide for themselves? I bet they really puzzle themselves over it!

Bright new future? They haven't announced many policies just wish lists but none of them point to anything remotely bright or new...

The next 12 to 18 months will see improvement as the impact of coming out of the Ukraine/ pandemic crisis eases... but after that.... let's see shall we, but maybe we can bookmark this page to see if the bright new future appears?
