Leadership: Ok, maybe there is a bit of a problem, but we have NO TOLERANCE for this thing we haven't acknowledged for the past few years.

EHRC report: There was AS in Labour. The leadership took a long time to acknowledge and then deal with it. It interfered in the disciplinary process (although it said it didn't). It was often characterised as smears against the party, and fabricated. This caused many Jews a lot of distress.
JC: The scale of the problem was massively overstated!

JFC. Like I said, I don't think he is that bright or a very good politician.

You're a disingenuous fuckwit, the leadership of Labour never said "there isn't any antisemitism & it's Zionist smears", just gently caress right off with making poo poo up

Why would you think that? There was exactly one Labour PM that won an election in the last 50 years. And that guy was reportedly so close to Rupert Murdoch that he was sleeping with his wife.

i can see it going either way, but i think the path kier is moving towards is supplanting the tories as the neoliberal party by pitching labour as the sensible party of capital and the security state and its probably a more effective strategy than placing your faith in the british public and democracy to embrace good policies.

plus the tories handling of coronavirus and then the inevitable brexit disaster are going to be gifts for labour whoever is in charge.

we're basically going to see authoritarian technocrat vs culture war played again.
it remains to be seen if the power of culture war bullshit has been exhausted since if it hasn't kier is almost an ideal opponent for boris.
either way the strategy will get the centre right media and money on labour's side compared to the corrupt incompetence flagrantly on display at the moment. they dont mind corruption but they do mind it being this obvious.

i see kier as being put in his position to basically prevent any sudden lurches to the populist left or right but also to rehabilitate british corruption and put it back behind the curtain.
he's such a gift to the establishment its unreal.

One thing with this though is the Tories have 4 years left in power. CV will be over by March next year and Brexit will be done. So it will just be putting economic policies in place to benefit the UK outside the EU. The Tories are not scared at throwing money at the problem either.

lmao @ CV being beaten by march at this rate. the UK is gonna be dealing with this for a whiiiiiiiiile

also the tories throwing money is literally just giving their cousin 200 million to do nothing. they are completely against using money to help out.

nah i'd make that gove, mind you he has the same inevitability as bojo did so maybe he will win anyway.

priti is a hot fascist with a supervillain motif, if she could get a good faction behind her she'd be a strong contender imo.
plus the tories would love to also have the first asian PM as well as all the women while labour just elects lovely white man after white man

Patel's too cartoonishly evil and she's openly and blatantly corrupt.

The kind of shy Tory that swings each election to the Tories prefers polished centre-rightists who are refined in their racism and corporate fascism. Look at Cameron and the early days of Theresa May.
