He's as productive in three days as he would be in five apparently. It may sound like something you'd hear coming out of North Korea but it's true.

When Tony Blair was winning all those elections and keeping the tories suppressed for more than a decade, did he work 3-day weeks do you think?

So Labour have managed to lose a safe seat during a by-election, but that's definitely in no way the fault of the person leading the Labour party. However, it is definitely the fault of a previous leader who hasn't been in charge for nearly a decade. Funnily enough, running anti-establishment messaging doesn't work in a place where your own loving party is the establishment.

Nobody's saying Corbyn is blameless in what happened, but when a seat has had a steadily decreasing Labour majority for two decades (including during Cameron's government) it's stupid to try and pin it all on the guy who became leader a year and a half ago

What does she mean by this bit "we can’t allow Labour to get a foothold back in local government and let them do for our local communities what they did to our country", what are these things that were did? If they were bad things id be on her side. What bad things do labour have planned for local communities?

She doesn't mean anything specific, it's just handwavey 'Labour bad' and dogwhistling. People are meant to fill in the blanks themselves But if you want some ideas, some popular tropes are 'Labour destroyed the economy' and 'Labour let in all the immigrants'

Comrade Cheggorsky posted:Tony Blair was a bit of a scoundrel but you have to hand it to him, he knew how to beat tories Tory party were a mess in 97, Blair came along with near identical policies at the cost of what the Labour Party historically was, and a party which looked much more competent and just stole all their voters. Now the Tory party has their poo poo together they just stole them back again. Blair is to blame for a lot of today's problems, and not just because of the war. He didn't reverse or fix any of the terrible decisions the Tory party made with selling off council houses or destroying the unions. New deal is another one. The civil service wanted it as a replacement for apprenticeships, young kids who would not be entitled to much dole would get extra money and transport for a combination of work experience and collage. They stated very clearly that it simply would not work for anyone over the age of 21 and begged Labour not to extend the scheme, but they did and here we are now with people being forced to work 8 hour shifts in tescos for an extra £10 on the dole and that's it. Blair basically created a slave class that no one in the media gives a gently caress about, unless they want to write an article about how horrible a company is. Labour need to decide what they want to be, the party of the working class or an alternative to the Tory party. I don't understand why people are saying Corbyn should make them the remain party at all. Like it or not it was the northern working class and traditional labour voters who voted leave. So in pushing for remain you are alienating your core voter base. Bring it right back to four core aims. More council houses, especially within commuting distance of London, tighter control on imagration, scrapping new deal, and giving power back to the unions in order to fight zero hours contracts.

If they were bad things id be on her side. What bad things do labour have planned for local communities? She sees the idea that Labour were actually poo poo when they were last in government nationally as a weapon she can use to convince people they would also be poo poo if they won the mayoral elections in May. This is one of the reasons it's important to challenge the idea that the last Labour government was bad. As well as being untrue, it helps the Tories.
