It literally doesn't matter who votes for an election so long as labour all vote against. They have more than 1/3 of the total seats in parliament.

So literally "well everyone says so!". That's laughably indefensible, like on the level of a small child.

nah that's just one of his arguments. He cited a quote from wikipedia citing a 2006 article where Milne says

"For all its brutalities and failures, communism in the Soviet Union, eastern Europe and elsewhere delivered rapid industrialisation, mass education, job security and huge advances in social and gender equality. It encompassed genuine idealism and commitment... Its existence helped to drive up welfare standards in the west, boosted the anticolonial movement and provided a powerful counterweight to western global domination"

which he argues is evidence of Milne saying stalinist russia was a net good (which makes him a stalinist). Also the fact that he was the business editor of a Pro-USSR left wing newspaper in the late 70s early 80s. And also because he wrote in the forward to a book about east Germany that it had some good points relative to west Germany, and that these points are often ignored in modern political discourse (esp. in Germany) in favour of uncritically denunciating east germany as an evil totalitarian state. Which is pro-soviet historical revisionism in my friend's eyes.

I actually just had to mute her, an amazingly grating voice and as someone said earlier it sounds like she's addressing a sixth form politics class.

Anyway Ian Blackford was spitting fire earlier. One of these days I'll work out the twitters well enough to cut segments like that for the threads edification.

The 2010 Labour Party was an extremely different animal. They'd have cut almost as hard as the Tories with the same results
I don’t think so.
prior to the 2010 election Brown/Darling’s government was running stimulus in response to the crash, not austerity.
the party only embraced the big need for cuts narrative after the election, as a response to the voters’ perceived rejection of the Labour manifesto and embrace of Tory's.

It's not even that, the sheer hypocrisy and audacity of what the government are doing should be getting a bigger response. It almost makes it seem acceptable with this little pushback, they should be embarrassed to even suggest an election at this point
