Right

My hunch was right (Two Pence). The General Election on 4th July saw the Tories wiped out. Labour won a huge majority in Parliament, but with only 34% of the vote share (source: BBC).

Not a particularly convincing outcome, and they can hardly say they have a mandate from the British people. It would appear they won because Tory voters simply stayed at home. Unless Labour can make a significant difference on the cost of living crisis, immigration, house prices, et al, I can't see them lasting more than one term.

As it is, they are already struggling on the economy, they have handed out bumper pay awards to their buddies in the unions, they have no cogent plan to tackle immigration, and to cap it all they have withdrawn the winter fuel allowance from the elderly.
