Don't post on here often, but read it every day. Can't sit by and watch @Ozanne getting picked on for doing little other than make a polite 'point of order' request without my saying something. F

Obviously horrible news. But I think pointing the finger at Rayner is not only unfair to her, but also serves to help silence critics of the Tories. Don't forget that over the years, BJ's words h

yes, Labour won an enormous victory in 2017.

Actually...no one really talks much about that result. There was a lot in it, May's disastrous election campaign and her dementia tax (actually a wealth tax to pay for social care), the whole brexit thing where no side was talking about stopping it back then, the fact that no one thought labour had a chance of winning...but also that maybe a lot of people actually liked Labour's manifesto?

And we can argue about it to the end of time...whether Labour's lead would have kept increasing, whether another leader would have done better or worse, if less labour infighting,  if no Maybot and dementia tax uturn...but all hypothetical, we'll never know..


In the end Corbyn could never win the centre ground because they are too self interested to buy into what he was selling, both in terms of policy, the threat of redistributing money from little penelope’s riding lessons to some poor free school meals kids - but also this that their egos are threatened by the thought of electing someone that if they met out in public or worked with they would assume that they had higher status than, that is to say an old bearded, jam making, vegetarian hippy type. Thats where the ’not a leader’ ’unserious’ charges come from.

But even just since 2017 it is blindingly and increasingly obvious that smart govt interventions to fix capitalism and the environment are the only realistic way to proceed in the 21st century and that time is running out.

Starmer’s constant u turns dont paint him as a compromising 90s third way moderate, they paint him as a man out of touch with the scale and urgency of the issues, and without the backbone to deal with them. What should we do about the rivers of sh*t? Well you know, I dont think nationalising them is the answer, maybe we could just politely ask them to put 50% less sh*t in the river? Its not good enough.

In the election campaign the tories and the press will nail him and Labour relentlessly for flip flopping and they’ll have to defend a manifesto that is basically the opposite of what most of them have been on record campaigning against in the past and nobody will buy it. Meanwhile, the economy will be doing better and Sunak will be able to throw a bit of cash at the wavering middle. Its soon squeeky bum time

I don't know...you keep writing Starmer off, but he still looks like he'll be the next PM.

I see Sunak targetting Labour's reckless borrowing...instead of shying away from it maybe labour need to actually make the argument for borrowing to invest..especially with green stuff to supposedly help is get to net zero.

I don’t think that will work when mortgage rates are soaring.

Well known distraction technique to get you thinking about conspiracy theories with your dick and not your brain.
