- Comment on Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began' 2 weeks ago:
OSA was brought in by the tories.
You know that, i know that. But from the publics perception the act came in while labour where in power. And that’s all that matters.
You could make a solid argument that it was done deliberately, to discredit the next government as the tories knew it wouldn’'t be them.
Labour could have turned round and said that the rules where brought in by the last government. But no, they then doubled down on it and started calling opponents of the act nonces.
So from the lay persons perspective, labour bought it in, and then called everyone a nonce.

The biggest mistake he’s making is that people expected a bit of a shift to oppose what the Conservatives were offering
I think it might be the flip flopping, and not really knowing what direction he needs to take the country.
One minute it’s this, next it’s that. His dilly dallying with raynor when it was obvious her tenure was unsustainable. Then bringing in deeply unpopular policies like the OSA and digital id cards.
We have systems in place to counter illegal working. Why do we need the other id? We don’t. It’s a badly thought out rehash of what Blair was pushing in the naughties.
Then we have what most people perceive to be a two tier justice system, abs your can start to see why he’s unpopular.

As long as you have adblockers, what does it matter? I get the “no clicks” kind of protest, but that only works if they’re able to serve ads. If you remove the ads, then they’re not getting the impression, which ultimately means they’re paying for you to visit the site.
