    Howabout voting tory cos the labour party mp treats you like an absolute f*****t?
    Howabout you are disabled and all the labour party bollox treats you like a F888888t?
    Howabout you have been working class,your parents,grandparents have been working class,and your labour party and your union (gmb) treats you like an absolute idiot?
    Sometimes in life you get what you deserve,the labour party is a effin joke.
    Not all workingclass people are victims who need help,most of them own their own house,trying to get their kids on,make good money.
    The thing that boils our pish is seeing folk get something for nout,not genuine people,just the idle barstewards of which there is plenty.
    My grandad grafted for 50 year,my old lad did the same,me as well,just my kids generation have got out of it thanks to my mrs who whipped them into education.

    Poorer areas that delivered Boris Johnson’s election triumph are facing fresh cuts to local services – as funds are switched to wealthy Southern shires instead.

    As someone who lives in a wealthy Southern shire but voted Labour in the mistaken belief that perhaps other parts of the UK should have money spent on them too - suck it up Workington man.

    Enjoy your Tory cuts. Enjoy your Tory austerity (which you've just found out mostly applies to places wealthy middle class people don't live, see, or go to). Enjoy your Brexit. Exactly what you voted for.

    You've got five whole years to really reap the benefit.

    Oh look.
    The not-so-Independent tries to carry on the remainer cause with another seriously-flawed outburst.

    Top points from that tripe: it is complaining about proposals made by Theresa May for next year, ignoring the small fact that the new government will in all probability completely alter the proposals the rag tries to highlight.
    The figures are supplied by Labour's Local Government Association.
    Say no more.

    It's another really desperate attempt from people who still will not accept that this sort of guff is what lost them the vote.

    Oh dear, regretting your vote? Well, I am sure it will all work out. I don't really care as the area I live in couldn't be more Torified. In fact, they've already started to fix the potholes.

    Has it at all crossed your mind how crap our political system is that people voted Tory?
    I voted Tory with a heavy heart because there was nothing else out there to vote for, I am not going to vote for someone else just because they are not Tory. And the way they are going I am not going to vote Labour in 5 years time, just considering Jess Philips was laughable, and watching them trying and failing to pick a 1st labour woman PM in order to just be seen as political correct will keep them out of power even longer

    Going by your posts on here you seem like a comfortable tory voter.
    Anyway, you voted for them so the responsibility for whatever they do is part yours. If you didn't approve of what they were offering, then you had other options (including spoiling).

    So what would it take for the Tories to lose your vote?

    We live in an area that since the seat was created in the 1930s has always been labour.

    It is now Tory.

    I sincerely hope that the conservatives manage to turn around this little north Midlands town because labour have run it into the ground. They have done nothing good for this town.

    You do know that we have had a Conservative government for the last 10 years?
