Comrade Fakename posted:Did Bradley humiliate himself on Newsnight then? Not really no. E: his "in context" argument is that some kids who aren't starving might also get free food. That's it. Best let the rest starve then Ben, can't have a few other kids eating properly for free. Lungboy fucked around with this message at 10:54 on Oct 24, 2020 |

I'm honestly starting to respect his posting power level. We may think he's an idiot but this is future Prime Minister levels of instinctive ability to just post through it.

The worst part of that is "Tory" scans so much better in place of "New York" than "Conservative" but not a single person involved realised. Poor show

I am impressed at how untopical this. 11 years since JayZ and Alicia Keys did that tune. Also the Goldie Looking Chain version is better

5 year gilt rates are negative. Investors literally pay for the privilege of lending the UK money.

You can tell for sure that free school meals don't go to crack dens etc as otherwise Priti Patel would have voted to send them out with explosives in them. Sure a few non-crack dens would get blown up but it's a price the government is willing to pay

The Tory reaction other organisations stepping is insane. This sort of private enterprise and charity filling the gap thing is meant to be what they like and believe in. Instead it's become a full masks-off moment about how their only actual motivating ideology is culture war spite.

This whole affair represents a new low for the Tories. Not the actual policy which is simply in line with their normal extremely high level of cruelty. But rather their indignant reaction to being called out on it. I think they genuinely believed that winning the election meant that the country finally agreed with their worldview.

112 Mp's writing a letter blaming Rayner for the abuse they're getting for voting to starve children. I expect Sir Kier to be live on BBC 1 taking the blame and making a statement about learning lessons in 20 minutes.

Well that's the thing that's striking me more and more - even if you firmly believe in electoralism as the only legitimate path to power, why on earth would you ever limit your activities to sitting out the term and then getting going in election season? Surely you should be actively encouraging anything to force the government to collapse asap and have new elections. On a side note - lol we've just had 3 elections in 5 years, there's no way things are going to get more stable after the mid-pandemic Brexit, permanent election mode should be every parties thinking.

2015 and 2017 were slim majorities though, the tories aren't going to call a snap election to have another roll of the dice on an 80 seat majority anytime soon. e: lol beaten i am fast computer typer

She's not just appalling in her opinions, she's brazenly thick and/or spectacularly unoriginal as well: Her full statement is particularly funny because she leads with attacking the businesses offering the food but later on says about someone else having asked local government to use some of their funds to provide the meals and how keen she is to address the issue so she's literally saying 'I want this problem solved but I reject all of the actual solutions offered so far.' which pretty much gives the game away in terms of how much she does care.

It's notable that we haven't seen Keir or the shadow cabinet joining in putting the boot to the Tories about this. We've had a couple of tweets about Labour councils feeding hungry kids, but nothing drawing attention to the ridiculously scummy things Tories have said. In fact today as the row rages on he seems to be trying to change the subject to the self-employed  Either he thinks it'll benefit him to not get his hands dirty, or he genuinely thinks 'decorum' prevents him from attacking over them literally starving children.

However, the problem there is that everyone who's saying "the Tories are subhuman scum" aren't also saying "... so I will vote Labour" because there's no evidence that the Labour Party support feeding kids. As ever, centrism is the worst.

To be fair this is just the essence of not interrupting your opponent when they are making a mistake - going hard on them will just lead to people thinking Labour are being opportunists and point-scorers on the issue. E: f, b

Keith hasn't been prominent but it was a Labour motion to provide the food vouchers that the Tories voted down the other day no? That seems like fairly explicit support.

Maybe sir Cheese still thinks we're in the pre 2019 days of hung parliaments and fbpes obsessively keeping track of who's amending what, but post Corbyn most Labour supporters have given up and stopped doing the party's job for them. Even Momentum are just taking the piss out of the tories and saying FSM should happen, not that Labour are in support of it.

Yeah the Labour Party is still actually trying to do things but Starmer has severed any desire for the left activist base and internal groups like Momentum to spread the word and the papers obviously continue not saying positive things about Labour so the party has been reduced to only getting airtime in response to things the Tories are doing. e: f,b
