Inflation being low is hardly something to be happy about, it just means that prices on the shelves arnt too much more than they were 12 months ago. It doesn't mean things are cheaper!!! In fact inflation measured over 24 months is still unacceptably high and is still outpacing pay rises.Conservatives for me.
We voted for Brexit
Covid was a worldwide disaster dealt with appallingly around the world not just here
Economic crisis again has been worldwide and can't be blamed on a single countries government.
Inflation is one of the lowest in Europe, but let's not mention that because it might reflect well on them.
I'm not denying that the last 14 years have been shit but would Corbyn and Starmer have done better? I personally don't believe so.

What we need is a short period if de-flation if we are to get back to pre covid standards of living.
The rise of food banks, and poverty we've seen under the Tory's is shameful.
Why the BOE need a rocket up them!!A big problem with deflation (which is looking more & more likely) is that it stifles investment.....
Now keeping in mind the levels of both private & public investment in the UK have been fucking shit since 2008....deflation pressures may well result in an economic climate that would make the last few years look like a sunny walk in the park.....
The funny thing is that deflation should actually see MORE investment, not lessA big problem with deflation (which is looking more & more likely) is that it stifles investment.....

It seems you're implying that there's not a global economic crisis caused by a global viral event?Inflation being low is hardly something to be happy about, it just means that prices on the shelves arnt too much more than they were 12 months ago.

That'd be me, it has gone up and it's shocking. But also not helped by global economic crisis.If you want to get a real heads up on the state of inflation just go ask the person who does the weekly shopping in your house.
That person won't give a flying monkeys fuck what's happening across the globe.
I agree. Tories need to get themselves straight to head off Reform - who will not help the country one jot. I still fear Farage will become Conservative leader and maybe even PM one day although he's not spring chicken and 10 years of Labour likely now may put him off.The Tories deserve to be wiped out, but to have them potentially not being HM’s official opposition is a scary thought for the sake of democracy. Some of the doomsday polls show the Tories and Lib Dems on 50-odd seats a piece. That’s barely more than governments official payroll and have to vote with government motions.

Not sure we can oust our Tory either. Folkestone & Hythe.My point is that even though I'll vote Lub Dem or Labour this time to just oust the evil Tories, but my vote will not influence result as I'm in a true blue constituency . I would always consider voting for whats best for the country, the economy, environment and the disadvantaged in society. Agree people on both sides can be entrenched and closed minded, but I'm just talking about family and people in mid-kent where I live who just always vote blue and just wont entertain anything else regardless of harm. It's very weird as they always claim to be patriotic.
UKIP and now Reform exist because of major splits in Tory party over blaming EU for 'foreign invasion' that have been there since Maggie left. Not for the good of the country, economy, climate change or to help the underclass and poverty striken people with no aspirations.
Only Tory I might have considered voting for was John Major who had a degree of compassion, but I would vote LD and Green etc. too of it would help country.

Cheers m8, I'm trying to detox myself from that girl.
Agree wholeheartedly. My mantra is to not judge a society on how well the well off are doing, but how the worst off are doing.I always look for a fairer society. Or the aim of a government to create a fairer society.
Over the past 14 years, the rich have got an awful lot richer, we now have food banks and 900,000 kids have been pushed into child poverty.
The poor just keep getting poorer, while the percentage of rich people getting richer, skyrockets. That's no way to run a government.
Hoping Labour will try and rectify that in some way, but if they don't, I will be looking to another party that maybe can.
There should never be billionaires and trillionaires about, while others are starving and in poverty.
What a world we have created here.
And I always look what is best for the country, for everyone, before I look to see how it affects me personally.
I am prepared to be worse off, if it helps someone less fortunate than myself.
Not convinced on Labour here, but it's the only other option right now, in a two party system, as the Lib Dems never seem to get their act together.
I am a socialist, but do accept the world has changed. Labour had to move to the centre.
Hoping there will be something new and forward thinking in the not too distant future.
Funnily enough, amongst the people I know who are about to vote for the first ever time (so 18, 19 and 20 year olds), they are all going to vote Green.
I think Greens are really popular amongst the younger generation.
Anyway, let's make the world a better and fairer place, whoever is in power. Not holding my breath though.
I don't think it necessarily is a bad thing. I'm sure there was a time when people thought not having the Whigs would be a terrible thing for politics.The Tories deserve to be wiped out, but to have them potentially not being HM’s official opposition is a scary thought for the sake of democracy. Some of the doomsday polls show the Tories and Lib Dems on 50-odd seats a piece. That’s barely more than governments official payroll and have to vote with government motions.
Conservatives for me.

Do you have a cuckoldry fetish by any chance?
Gah I hate to defend a Tory, but Jeremy Wright actually seems OK whenever I've had dealings with him(!)Card carrying Labour member since 1983.
Will vote for them until I die. Not just out of loyalty, but because the Conservatives are the most corrupt, inept, selfish, delusional bunch of cunts this country has ever witnessed.
In the past you could always point to a few Tories you knew were decent and were interested in public service. No longer. All selfish, inward looking bigots.
Cannot wait to see them absolutely annilated next week.
TBH, if I was going to mention one, I would have said him. I've met him at an opening in Southam and he seemed OK and genuinely interested in what we were doing. But, as I said, at one time I could have named a good few who were alright.Gah I hate to defend a Tory, but Jeremy Wright actually seems OK whenever I've had dealings with him(!)
To be honest the three Conservative councillors I've met all seem like decent people who genuinely want to do well for their community. I might well disagree with them on the best ways to do that but they seem genuine enough.Gah I hate to defend a Tory, but Jeremy Wright actually seems OK whenever I've had dealings with him(!)
You have to factor in that Corbyn did an excellent job of keeping Labour away from governing. And then there was the Brexit bandwagon that Boris was championing.Conservatives for me , people keep saying 14 years of Tory hell , but they wouldn’t have got in for three terms if the first ten were that bad ,in all honesty it’s been a complete shit show since Covid , but I think it would have been the same under any party , it’s obvious Labour will win , just hope they don’t raid pension pots and increase inheritance tax
