It benefits the Tories because they have got the right wing vote tied up, whereas the centre and left is split between Labour, Lib Dem, SNP and Greens. In the 2019 election, a lot more people voted for those 4 parties combined than voted Conservative. But because of the FPTP system, despite only getting 46% of the popular vote share the Tories got 56% of the seats in Westminster and thus a large majority. It's an outdated system that is no longer fit for purpose (if it ever was) because it results in the majority of the electorate becoming effectively disenfranchised.

What is the actual point you are trying to make here?

Labour take Westminster from the Tories for the first time in over 50 years.

I haven't seen this 'chatter' that's being referred to, but late me take a wild guess here... A few fearless, freedom defending, "do your own research" types (like Le Tiss), who claim to be experts on infectious diseases and vaccines but are actually nothing of the sort, have picked out a few key sentences from the Pfizer documents and twisted them willdly out of context to make it look like they prove it was all a massive conspiracy, but are in fact just innocuous statements that don't mean what these people think they mean. Am I close?

Really? That's the best thing about our PM for you is it? The fact that he's such a useless c*nt, he invokes anger in someone you like to pretend you don't have an online obsession with but quite clearly do?

It takes a special kind of stupid to really stand out among this particular government as being by far and away the dimmest of the lot. The trouble with Dorries is that she isn't just stupid, she's a spiteful cow with a superiority complex as well.

Me too. Won £50 on Saturday because I could see that Palace result coming a mile off. My only regret is that I didn't stake more on it, because that late winner was so inevitable.

And won't get one now 😔

Two equally poor teams out here today.

Redmond looked like he was trying to step into space for a cut back but Broja wasn't on the same wavelength.

At least he was trying to play the ball forward rather than sideways or backwards.

We've just been fucking garbage going forward and haven't created anything of note. At least earlier in the season we were making chances even if we couldn't convert them. We need to get Stu on because we don't win if he doesn't play a part.

Oh balls. Never looked like holding on to this anyway.

Whiney bunch aren't they.

Think he made a meal of it actually. Was more straightforward than he made it look.

Don't know if it's just the positioning of the microphone but I can only hear the Palace fans today. Rubbish showing from our fans so far.

Bollocks. It's always against us that teams break these poor runs isn't it.

What is that song that the Palace fans sing constantly?

Should have scored.

Johnson has received a fine because his actions have been proven to be against the rules at the time, and is still subject to ongoing investigation into other incidents. There is evidence that Johnson himself organised parties and told people to bring their own booze. He was the very man who set the rules and told the country we weren't allowed to do these things. Starmer had a beer with a takeaway during a work meeting. I know you love to be a contrarian, but if you genuinely think there is any moral equivalence here and can't see the DM reporting for what it is - a simple hatchet job attempt ahead of the local elections - then you're an idiot.

Or are they just on the beach already like us?

Local elections next week and the DM are printing desperate front page smear stories about Labour. Who could possibly have predicted that 🙄

Looks like we are not the only fans he has wound up recently 🤣 https://www.goodisonnews.com/2022/04/27/charlie-austin-says-everton-relegation-would-be-funny-after-liverpool-defeat/

It's not just the support bands either.
