Reading through the front page of various newspapers I note Labour have won back many Brexit voters.
What the papers say: Sunday's front pages (breakingnews.ie)
I know local elections are only a light barometer of how people would vote in a General Election, but the Tories seem to be in big trouble. I reckon some kind of EU membership for the UK will happen sooner than later and mooted by the Tories.

Dream on Matt and stop believing everything you read in the Guardian.
The Conservatives deserved a drumming for being far too left by not getting on with what they promised by burning up 4,000 EU rules and regulations and throwing away their 86 seat majority. That is why they are loosing the Brexit and red wall seats. But Starmer! Give us all a break.
The Reform Party will destroy the Conservative Party in the next election, they already have twice as many members and probably the same number as the Labour Party.
It really doesn't matter whether Labour or Conservative win the next election they are both equally left of centre.
Everyone is getting sick of both parties hence the extremely low turnout. Labour though winning seats made no gains on the popular vote remaining at 35%, extrapolated to a GE would leave them 28 seats short of an overall majority.

Good to see some (deranged) satirical humour here - the above *can* only be satire because anyone with even one functioning brain cell could figure out that in reality it’s nonsense.
looking forward to GE and Labour getting in, I must say
UK will be back closer to EU in no time

Incidentally, this would be the same Reform UK that had a somewhat lacklustre showing at Local Elections and just managed to scrape 6% of the vote in the wards where it stood, and at last count had a whopping 115.000 members … 🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️ (note; that’s significantly *less* than either Tories or Labour)
Results in local elections in Northern Ireland this weekend will be interesting especially for Rishi Sunak who appears not be having the tail wagging the dog. Wait for the usual rubbish-speak from Unionists. If Megan Markle is not up to something extra, you could do worse than tune into the NI local election results where the truth is sparse and the 17th century rules the 21st century.

Boris Johnson resigned yesterday as MP with immediate effect. Are the Tories in freefall?

Like the man said on Question Time, they ( any party) couldn't run a whelk store never mind a country! And I have to agree with him.

Boris was ex prime minister and an MP. He’s gone now so why does this suggest that the party is free falling? They have a new leader who looks like he’s reasonably popular within the party.
My personal view is that any party would struggle to do well at the moment. Much of the UK problems are as a result of pandemic, Brexit, Ukraine war. People forget that the government spent £400 billion on the pandemic. That’s about £5000 per person. We now have to pay for that. Brexit was a disaster that has increased costs, reduced our trading and resulted in many of our essential workers returning to their eu homelands. We have a public health service that is becoming unaffordable (expensive new technology and aging population). Ukraine is fubar and results in the energy crisis.
If anyone on this forum thinks that any political party can solve these challenges overnight they are delusional.
