You can read more in this twitter thread he did: https://twitter.com/anarchonbury/status/1335867100901093378 This was the second episode I've listened to, and it's good stuff. My only niggle was during the discussion on inflation there was no mention of the shittiest bit of all (imo), that the multiple types of inflation aren't just used to give a more desriable result, but that they are actively used to gently caress people over. Public sector pay rises and pension calculations? Pin it to the lowest inflation metric (RPI). Income off interest on student loads or other repayments to the government? CPI for you!

I read it as "there were some posters that were a bit 'stop brexit' over 'stop tories' and brexit was a done given since the point Cameron ate poo poo on his own referendum so Labour should have been more get brexit done but aggressively left wing about it, rather than trying to hide all the popular left stuff behind second referendum poo poo", which is true, because while Labour's official policy stance was still "negotiate a deal and then have a referendum on it" that would always be portrayed as a second referendum cop out of "remain vs. pseudo remain" whereas "our brexit deal will be better" might have stood a chance.

NotJustANumber99 posted:I've had a drink but what? In the period between the 2017 and 2019 election a movement pushing for a second vote on the 2016 brexit referendum emerged. It influenced the Labour Party into changing its previous 2017 position that the referendum result should be respected, resulting in massive electoral losses. At the time there were a lot of left-liberal people that supported that change in position, some of them were quite obnoxious and bullish about it even, but after the 2019 result they've broadly recognised that it wasn't smart and have quietly moved away from that position. The background is that Labour during that period was lefty, so establishment media will retroactively explain any failures from that period as being a consequence of lefty ideas, ignoring the influence of the changed brexit position in order to undermine future lefty positions. It's a bit annoying to see previously obnoxious and bullishly pro-second ref posters now pretending they didn't support a second referendum, but have concluded that there's no use getting hung up on the past and if those same posters are now resisting the narrative that it was Silly Leftishness rather than brexit position that explains the differing results between the elections then that's good and useful. None of that was actually difficult to parse in the slightest from the post you're quoting btw.

If you've heard of DiEM25 the first 3 years of their analysis reads as this slow tragedy, that they basically just assumed a left-populist Labour Party with close ideological links to the best parts/principles of the EU project but taking governance outside the EU would be a jumping off point for this grand unification of the European working class and it's legit sad what actually happened.

it's pretty funny how the fubpees consistently held Keith up as the shining knight of the second ref campaign and then immediately after he won the leadership he turned round and told them that Brexit was finished as an issue e: trying to make out that this thread was fubpee central is a weird kind of alternate history though Julio Cruz fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Dec 9, 2020 |

I think I said before, my 'more left than me' brother who would normally have voted for a Corbyn-led labour voted LibDem because they were promising to cancel brexit. I said it would never happen and a Corbyn/Labour led brexit would be the best chance to get a deal that didn't kill the poors. We had to agree to disagree because he is extremely pro-remain (lives in France, kids with French passports etc) and saw nothing else like how poo poo The Squirrel Killer was and libdems NEVER do well at national level - well not since about 1920 anyway!

I still feel bad for voting for the lib dems over a decade ago. Especially after they hosed us for plastic bags. Chester where I voted stayed solid tory but in 2017 flipped to Labour and has stayed so since so at least that is good. But lol voting for the libs. What the gently caress was I thinking. I still thought until a few years ago that Liberal meant egalitarian and socialism. Hahahaha haha whoops.

I am a strong fugbee, but I think lea and perrins has undoubtedly been weakened recently, only the last few years. If brexit lets us restrengthen Worcestershire sauce then gently caress maybe it'll be worth it.

I just think that if Scotland has to exist then we should have the capital outside of Edinburgh, it needs taken down a peg. If the People’s Republic of Strathclyde exists then I guess Aberdeen or Dundee can be the capital of whatever inferior state remains of Scotland.
