My man the only Labour leader who won an election in living memory was close enough to Rupert Murdoch to be sleeping with his wife. Do you think that will work a second time?

“Get more people in your coalition so you can form a majority” is not some crazy Reagan/Thatcher right wing idea. I voted for Elizabeth Warren in the 2016 Democratic primary. I have never voted for a Republican, ever.

There are a lot worse role models than Joe Biden: stomp the right wing out of power, then consolidate your own side by letting Bernie Sanders write the budget and implement left-friendly policies while pledging to normies you are a nice friendly centrist.

The American phrase for this, ironically, is “Dress British but Think Yiddish”. Looking square lets you do all sorts of progressive things.

Middle England won’t look at Labour’s manifesto if the culture fit isn’t there. “gently caress you suburbs, let the red flag fly” turns some of the people you need off.

biden appears to be pretending to offer stuff because he's a doddering old gently caress that his handlers can't always control properly. you still do get the same "how dare you expect biden to do anything you peasant scum" poo poo, except it's laundered through surrogates or framed as "corrections"

here is another way british farming is about to be completely hosed lol. morrisons and all its workers are about to get brutally hosed by american private equity

https://twitter.com/L__Macfarlane/status/1416350313146105857?s=20

quote:

The company reportedly owns 85% of its retail stores, more than any other supermarket. With a book value of £5.8bn, Morrisons real estate portfolio is worth nearly as much as the market value of the entire company, based on its current share price. Unlike other supermarkets, Morrisons also owns significant parts of its supply chain. The company deals directly with the 2,700 British farmers rather than wholesalers, who deliver livestock and fresh produce directly to its 17 processing facilities. As a result, the National Farmers’ Union calls Morrisons “British farming’s biggest direct customer”. The company, which employs about 121,000 people, also has a healthy surplus in its defined benefit pension schemes.
