Became obsessed with politics during the Brexit disaster - despise corrupt Tory politicians - have hope for better from Starmer etc.
Recently retired - which overall I don't recommend!
Tango dancer - another obsession, but just a tad more enjoyable!
And, worse, those same photos are impressing those who don't understand the effect that those wankers will have on their lives, if they get into power.

But even if they unite against Reform, it still splits the left vote if one doesn't promote the other?

I wonder how likely is that? I wd guess that Farage's supporters are the ones likely to turn out in numbers - sad to say.
Labour needs to *illustrate* the effect of a Reform Government, and get through to people how it would affect our health service, and our welfare benefits.

I understand that, but something has to be tried at least, to counteract their influence. You think we should just give up?
(Meanwhile I must get on with my Irish passport application . . . )

Doesn't Labour then have to drum it into the public, exactly what will happen when the NHS is dumped? Produce videos illustrating someone getting an invoice for an operation, or just for a regular apptment? Labour should use PR effectively, as opposed to what they have been doing since Election!!

And then you ask them - "have you used the NHS recently?", "What if you had to pay for it?" or "Do you claim any benefits?". But I know, from being v active against Brexit, just how frustrating it is, dealing with those who refuse to see.
