    So even big media are fed up with labour.

    Edit: clarity, mainstream news had miniscule coverage of voter turn out. Sp, tusc and other leftist orgs reported on this less than a day after the count so now that we are seeing mainstream coverage of what is now old news is a concerning sign for labour may even been the election comes sooner than expected.

      Why would the turnout cause an earlier election? Starmer is the only one with the power to do it and he has over 4 years before he’s required to call it. People made the same comments about every one of BoJo’s scandals and there still wasn’t a general election until long after he’d gone.

        Its a possibility that labour could call for early election. Tories had a few terms under theyre belt and got in on way more votes. People where more complacent back then but the vote for labour and even for many none voters, labour were the party of change.

        Edit: just to tie in the media stuff, talking about low election numbers is a big no no in mainstream media. So labour must be fucking up for both the working class as well as the capitalist class.
