#Walthamstow had an 18,000 #Labour majority at #GE2024

( #Greens came 2nd on 9,000)

Walthamstow had a 34,000 #Labour majority at #GE2019

(Greens came 3rd on 5,000)

It's 1 of #Starmer 's SAFEST seats in the UK ...

I haven't dbl-checked this, but VERY interesting if true :

They (those who vote for Refash') don't care about what their working age kids+grandkids think/may say.
See #EURef2016, #GE2019. See the fascist. murderous tangerine's 2024 election.
You'd be amazed at their capacity to vote against their own, and their own children's and grand-children's interest.

In subsequent General Elections (esp. #GE2019)? Probably nothing happens either in retrospect. The best we can hope for imho is better safeguards against future interference (e.g., campaigns being exclusively publicly funded).
NB: I for one am convinced there was dirty Ruzzian money involved. 2/2

It was published, in redacted form in July 2020, after Johnson delayed it beyond #GE2019.

We need the fully independent judicial public inquiry, which that report recommended to be commissioned ASAP.

I work in Colchester. At the time of #GE2010, there was a six week wait for talking services for mental health. Now it is six months. Used to be higher but the wait is shorter now compared to #GE2019. #WATO #BBCwato bsky.app/profile/stev...

In their own words: why voters abandoned Labour | YouGov There’s been a lot of soul searching within the Labour Party since last week’s election. Why did they face their fourth consecutive defeat at the ballot box, and fall to their lowest number of seats s...

I would love to ask many MP’s does #TheGreen party have, but I prefer to ask about the #GE2019 manifesto they had and what aspects of it you disagreed with. captainstarkiller.blogspot.com/2025/08/inte...

What are the differences between the two? I never saw the need for #YourParty when The Greens have a more left wing platform than Labour. To paraphrase #ZackPolanski, what aspects of the #GE2019 manifesto does Corbyn and Sultana disagree with? captainstarkiller.blogspot.com/2025/07/what...

The election result of the Colchester seat has been declared The votes have been counted and the next MP has been announced

In #Colchester, where I live, over 50% of voters decided to vote Tory in #GE2019. That changed markedly in #GE2024. www.essexlive.news/news/essex-n...

I admire your optimism. I know loads who decided to #VoteConservative in #GE2019 just to keep #JeremyCorbyn out of office, who switched to other parties (Lib Dem, Green etc) in #GE2024.

The New Labour tenticles go deep into Starmer's Labour.

Congratulations @zackpolanski.bsky.social on your huge win! Counting on you now to encourage the bravery and boldness that I've long hoped for in the #GreenParty and have championed since joining & through #GE2019.
All our people are tremendous but held back by Party timidity.

Labour manifesto 2024: 12 key policies analysed BBC correspondents analyse key policies in the Labour manifesto.

That was not what Labour was elected on. People had the chance to vote for a more radical alternative in #GE2017 and #GE2019. They decided against that choice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Large gap between vote share and MPs hits Reform and Greens Labour's win is the most disproportionate on record, BBC Verify finds, as parties call for change.

#JeremyCorbyn got 32.2% of the votes in #GE2019 while Starmer got 34% in #GE2024. The main difference was that Starmer won votes across the country rather than in just Labour areas which is why there is a huge majority. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

LAB/LDM/GRN: 50%
REF/COM: 45%

Big swing to the right lol!

1. The combined right vote went down ~25% #GE2019 -> #GE2024

2. Don’t forget FPTP (vs PR too).

3. Don’t ignore the growth of non-voters.

4. And factor in the constant media platforming of far right talking points.

5. And tactical voting

15.5 million people didn't vote at #GE2019

19.4 million people didn't vote at #GE2024

are they getting the policy they want?

are politicians listening to them?

those numbers are more than any party received.

those people could join a movement and take over.

#JeremyCorbyn? I know someone who might agree that he needs to be remembered for his contribution to politics! captainstarkiller.blogspot.com/2019/02/kind... #BBCaq #GE2019

Weaponising anti-semitism, bringing down Corbyn Britain’s mainstream media, its Army and the Israel lobby all combined to ensure Jeremy Corbyn did not become prime minister, a new book argues.

Remind me, what was it the billionaire-bought-media accused JC @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social of? losing him #GE2019?

The same thing that anyone who calls out genocide is accused of today?

Peace has been weaponised

We must all see through this deformed shit, now

Will free movement end from 31 October 2019? What needs to happen before free movement can end in the UK and what does this mean for EU citizens living in the UK before Brexit?

Even before Dec 2019,Patel wanted to end FoM.
Voters gave the racist charlatan a maj in #GE2019 and him+her a mandate to do so.
They may well have voted eg. for fear of JC becoming PM.All it means is this fear was more important to them than keeping FoM.

Please also don't forget that at the end of the day, #EURef2016 was nothing but a real-size opinion poll (said the judge).
People confirmed their vote in #GE2017 and in #GE2019.
By giving the blond, racist, lying, corrupt charlatan a stomping majority, they gave him a mandate to end their FoM.

And, boy, did that switcheroo appear to pay off at #GE2019, giving BoJo an 80-seat majority and a "stonking mandate" to "Get Brexit Done".

Same here in the UK, they say we’re going to the right, but the combined right wing vote is down 25% #GE2024 compared to #GE2019

We can give you that for #EURef2016 ,granted.
But the Court said the ref wasn't legally binding;hence there's no direct link b/w the 52/48 vote&the decision to Leave 🇪🇺or SM/CU which was taken by successive Parlmts+Govs.
Everyone had a clue when they voted in #GE2017 & #GE2019 what their vote meant.

Flying in the face of past history where Labour have failed to even make a coherent argument alone win one #Brexit #GE2017 #GE2019
They can't actually believe they won the last election? They didn't, the Tories lost it (possibly deliberately imo) there's a big difference
