If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Why not think about times to come?
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Don't you look back
(Ooh)
Don't you look back
(Ooh)
Don't you look back

Think I saw since brexit there is now
an 8% swing in Sunderland from lab to con.

Tories campaigned quite hard in Sunderland.

Starmer not getting much support.

Nearby, South tyneside seeing some big swings
to green party, from both tory and Labour.

The tories gained 3 seats in Hartlepool

ffs the FBPE cultists and centrists are going to be fuming,they were talking about 500-800 seat gains,what a total disaster,but toitally expected,Starmer has alienated millions of young,black,asian etc etc ..Moving towards gammon,what could possibly go wrong..

By:

By:

casemoney When: 06 May 22 02:27

Starmer has alienated millions of young,black,asian etc etc

Maybe they just think he is an rsole Gigilo like a lot of other folks ..

How has he alienated them ?

By:

politicspunter When: 06 May 22 05:07

Overnight results suggests Labour and the LibDems are doing well in their target seats, Greens picking up some good seats also. Labour appear to have picked up Barnet, Wandsworth and Southampton as planned but Westminster could also be very close which would be a massive shock. LibDems pick up Hull and are doing well in other parts of the country where they have targeted campaigns.

PP/AT/MEADOWS WIPED OUT...AGAIN
Stone cold loser

Polling expert Sir John Curtice said: “There is so far very little evidence of the Labour Party making particularly significant advances in the so-called Red Wall i.e. pro-Leave parts of the country in the Midlands and the north.”

labour to go favourites for the general election tonight and not go odds against ever again ?gotta be a good chance. never mind johnson's gross incompetence and dire personal conduct the prevailing economic circumstances which are only likely to get much much worse will make it an almost impossible election for an incumbent government to win

No change in the general election odds.

So far Labour just gained even more ground in champagne socialist London but Tories holding strong up north with the working class.

Labour need to make gains with their traditional working class voters to win a general election.
