stev posted:So was the buzz yesterday about the 54 letters being sent just not true? I think that because one of them defected a bunch of them bottled it in case they got associated with him and withdrew their letters E: also lol that this defection has immediately created a load of labour infighting and that's drowning out what a poo poo job Boris did at PMQs

Hmm and here's my naive rear end believing a history of being a literal tory mp should maybe be somewhat of a barrier to entry for the Labour Party

Catzilla posted:They’ve bottled it, it seems. On the radio it’s being reported that some are withdrawing their letters. I expect they reckon they won't win the subsequent vote until after the Grey report, and are being tactical. After the report they're gonna hold a finger to the air and see if people are still pissed and send in the letters if they are. Downing Street will be gambling that by delaying it long enough people will have forgotten.

Hahahaha! Christian Wakeford on Sky News saying his politics haven't changed, that he's "still a moderate and a centrist but with a different colour rosette"... Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud, Chris. Amazing.

It's looking like a decent flex from a bunch of new entrants into the tories. They've realised that Boris will try to buy his way out of any difficulties and that he is to be operated in the same fashion as a piñata.

"the very default right leanings of this country" usually means "the most popular papers always spout right wing bollocks" as if most people buy a paper or get their views from there or do much else than read the latest outrage/celebrity misfortune/sports. It's like when TERFs come out with "98% of people agree with us" as if every single person who is not trans or questioning is fully onboard the glinner train about gametes based pronouns or whatever they're going on about today.

Hey, I heard that some Tories are considering defecting to Labour! Has Esq. Alexander de Pfeffel from Uxbridge applied yet? He seems like a sympathetic man of the people and one who could eventually challenge Starmer from the left...

It's literally just Sure Starts and other things that current Labour wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Things like Iraq, setting up the groundwork for what would become the Hostile Environment and playing adverts 24 hours a day encouraging you to spy on your neighbours to grass on them for making £20 on the side while collecting benefits is conveniently forgotten.

OwlFancier posted:But I have been assured it is very important that we stay in labour and fight, you have to give money to get every tory MP that starmer likes elected or the left will never have a voice! No yeah, oh no, of course! You have to stay in the party in order to be ready to put pressure on party HQ about the possibility that the NEC may be open to allowing the election of someone who might speak out for some kind of selection process that members - you - could, maybe, take part in if you haven't been suspended yet for wanting this. But you can't actually put pressure on the party HQ yet or you'll be suspended. So wait a bit and maybe, you never know, in a couple of years, the left may have a bit of a resurgence in the party to, like, you know, put pressure on HQ, or something. You never know. £3 a month, I think. That's all. For literally nothing. Paying to be abused and accused by rancid cargo cult blairite spads and failed council candidates who know where the bodies are buried.

In the SNP every candidate gets re-selected by their constituency before each election. Seems to work ok, doesn't cause any crazy drama. Labour should try it.

Bleeding labour so dry by everyone leaving that they will welcome back margeret thatcher's smouldering ashes to be the mp for Bury-on-Hell is rather loving funny tho. I don't think its getting us closer to left wing policies in power, but honestly what the gently caress is? At least it's showing labour and centrists up to be exactly what they are. Bereft of policy, soul, honesty, integrity and hope. Burn it all down and rebuild from the ashes.
