Why do Labour still bother with these 3 word slogans and focus grouped bullet points: we all know they'll have forgotten them themselves within a fortnight 'cos they're now organising Keith's umpteenth relaunch or whatever.

It's very funny that Keir Starmer has announced that he won't be nationalising transport on the same morning that Andy Burnham confirmed he was able to take all the buses in Manchester back under public control.

Angepain posted:https://twitter.com/LiamThorpECHO/status/1551504160872435715 quote:My second principle is that we must grow our contribution in a distinctively British way. This means two things. First, that we need resilient supply chains in sectors which are vital for British security and growth. That’s why we have a strategy to buy, make and sell more in Britain, why £3bn of our climate investment pledge will help forge a new future for our steel industry, and why we have committed to new public procurement rules that will build up Britain’s sovereign capabilities in key industries. Speech goes on: quote:That brings me to my third principle: partnership. For growth that is strong, secure and fair – we must work together. We need real partnership between state and market. Business and worker. The everyday economy and the technological frontier – and it is the job of a modern industrial strategy to make sure this partnership grows our collective contribution. Worth comparing: quote:A lack of support for manufacturing is sucking the dynamism out of our economy, pay from the pockets of our workers and any hope of secure well-paid jobs from a generation of our young people. Functionally, it's not all that different; Corbyn's Labour was not actually all that interested in protectionism or manufacturing - recall that when push came to shove in budgeting out the manifesto, all the industrial-renaissance stuff besides procurement protectionism got canned in favour of green measures - conversely Starmer's Labour is not actually renouncing Build It In Britain (quite the reverse). But of course the earlier speech rhetorically leans into it as much as Starmer's leans away from it.

Private Speech posted:It seems like he's trying to fit the justification to the slogan rather than the other way around. My guess is that there's not many ways to describe protectionism for public procurement without scaring off people who don't like protectionism for public procurement A core principle of EU policy is moving past the era where every European country had ferocious measures against its neighbours. We all know that, which is why Corbyn was well-placed to drive a Brexit Tory government up the wall about it. Note that Labour circa this point was still pitching customs union Brexit so we also knew, at the same time, that almost all of that rhetoric attacking outsourcing to France was just bait for the inattentive. If May can sell an impossible Brexit then why not Labour too? in bold new "We will not be joining a customs union" Labour Brexit policy era this might actually scare off people though ronya fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Jul 25, 2022 |

Private Speech posted:It seems like he's trying to fit the justification to the slogan rather than the other way around. Really. Those policies, if that isn't too strong a word, are completely unremarkable stuff that half the centre-X parties in Europe would be alright with. If you take as given the idea that the main purpose of the state is to promote private business, they're fine. But those slogans sound like nothing at all and don't give you any idea what the policies are, they're the kind of thing a Tory minister you've never heard of would have on their election campaign leaflet. It seems like Labour are just relying on the Tories finally having become too toxic to vote for (maybe), the Lib Dems entirely forgotten by everyone (probably), and presumably not contesting Scotland at all, so they get into government by default.

Hong XiuQuan posted:The worst thing about these kinds of feelings is people who had them - that is that Corbyn was so racist their lives would have been (indeed have been!) dramatically effected had he won - have absolutely nothing to say for how black/brown/Muslim Britons feel after the country keeps returning a racist party that has explicitly told us it wants to revoke fundamental rights (among myriad other things). While I'm sure the feelings are real the risk was miniscule. The risk so much graver for someone called Abdullah who might have a parent with an Indian passport. Oh they have plenty to say, in my experience: "Labour is the traditional party of anti-racist voters, but they were unable to cast a vote for Labour in 2019 with a virulent antisemite in charge" Then they point to the turnout for 2019 and note that the Tory vote stayed roughly the same and Labour's shrank, and they project their prior reasoning onto this data. No one in the mainstream press challenges this assertion, so now it's fact. An 80 seat Tory majority is the fault of Corbyn and his supporters because he prevented good, moral voters from being able to vote Labour. These same people will be urging left wingers to vote for austerity-Labour in the next general in the name of "harm reduction" and reminding them that they either voted Lib Dem or sat at home in December 2019 is doxxing, sorry

Someone stupid enough to own a Tesla and lionise the company is most certainly stupid enough to try filling it up at the pump, and probably stupid enough to succeed.
