From the cost of living to hospital waiting lists, they're the bread and butter issues that really affect people's lives.
Labour needs a national swing of 12.7% to win a majority.

Pay nurses , TEACHERS , doctors a very high salaries and the minimum wage to rest. Totally, way off the beaco track. Next thing there will be job cuts in those area of high salaries who s just had a huge pay rise. Whatever, government is in, will get the fault. They need to stop paying huge salaries to already highly paid sectors.

I have been living in uk for few years. I can tell Tory is not the only problem. Labour will do the same or even worst when you look back 10 years later. UK is one of the country with highest tax, it is about how to spend money not about asking companies or people to pay more tax to let the idiots wasting more.

It's impossible for most of the approximately 8 million people not registered to vote in the general election to become registered to vote in the general election on 4 July 2024. However the general election could be delayed to allow millions more people to be registered to vote though Local Government will need additional time, money and resources.
