I imagine in the next few months the party is going to appear as bi-partisan as possible, and it's going to make some big token moves to appear like it's doing something about the dumb anti Semitism thing. As a result everyone here will be screaming for my apology. What I want to wait for is the next manifesto, or at the very least the next conference, to see what they do with power and not just what they do while the press is watching.

Great time for bipartisanship, you gullible gently caress

It's easy for you to criticise now that your preferred outcome will never be put to the test. I can't show you what another five years of socialists making pathetic excuses for themselves looks like.

"Ooh the press" "ooh a conspiracy" "ooh the people are bad" if you can't stop making excuses and actually do something about it you're on a sinking ship.

Don’t double down on this Azza, it’s going to be bad and everything for years has pointed to how it’ll be bad.

Yes, weird that people would be upset about a rejection of politics of hope & optimism for mealy-mouthed chasing of an imaginary centre ground. Can't get why that would lead to tears at a time when the health service is collapsing explicitly because of loving ideologically driven under-funding. You loving prat.

If this is the level of intellectual rigour displayed by the average Labour member I suddenly get how Keir won.

Yeah they're unnecessary because we knew this was going to happen for quite some time and you can cushion the pain by knowing just how badly Starmer and Labour are going to get completely monstered by the press and the Tories.

We're basically just back at the point we were up until 5 years ago, where we'd begrudgingly vote for Labour because the Tories were far worse but we'd be loving stupid to make that vote anymore.

They’d be happy with whoever one - none of that is surprising. Any time you’d heard a “leaked” source that tories were secretly afraid of X it was a lie.

Happy that Starmer won because he’s a centrist/Tory lite/millionaire/actually working class/ill defined - so why won’t they just vote for the real tories?

Happy that RLB won because she’s Corbyn two/anti-Semitic/flaming communist/a woman/socialist Etc etc and for Nandy it would just be that she would just be another Tory

It's cool that you wandered into the Socialist thread, announced that you're dumb as gently caress, voted for the Neoliberal who was the architect behind the policy that most demonstrably lost us the 2019 election and are implying that this somehow makes you more practical than everyone else.

Wow i thought this was an exaggeration but nope, there it is

It's a loving flu, we'll get through it and some grannies will die and a few nurses will quit their NHS jobs in favour of the much less stressful cosmetic procedure industry. Life goes on whoop de doo.

Anyway, speaking of the virus, Channel 4 had an excellent video on Italy's experience. Obviously the stories are always horrible, but Lindsey Hilsum always has the best pieces and this one is proper moving.

You run people who the CLPs back at the election using the new selection rules and then, should the party ever get a shitload of seats, its parliamentary votes are in the hands of the new blood. If there's anything the years of brexit wank taught us it's that the ministers are losing their grip on the process.
