As an aside have any of you also seen these lil' guys popping up locally? My parents rescued one stuck in a cycle barrier and I've seen them pottering up one of the local main roads. My cousin apparently gets them frequently in MK as well.

No, you're not going to get another home sec that is trying to build a wave machine to push migrants back out to sea. Or at least you'd hope not. Starmer et al lack the imagination for that kind of evil. But the planet is currently on fire, and you're delusional if you think Starmer and his band of middle managers are going to do anything about it. The collapse of the eco system is all that should matter to anyone. We need radical change and we need it now. Anything else is a waste of time. And I'm sorry, but these bastards spit on democracy. They do not give two shits. After they've bullied and lied and stolen, they have the brass neck to turn around and say "But you're still gonna vote for us, right? Otherwise the other guys will get in." Voting for these shitheads legitimises them, makes it LESS likely we'll ever have left wing policies because they've managed to brand them as unpopular by sabotaging their own elections in the past.

Blair was a disaster for the disabled. Meanwhile the Tories have given us cost-of-living help while the rest of the population struggles, not because they can be 'shamed', but because they don't want to lose too many supporters to non-Tories - a fear the Labour right does not have.

Like clockwork every time I think "oh maybe I could vote labour as the lesser evil" Keir Starmer or Rachel Reeves come out and say something like "I call on the Tories to go further and means test the kicking of puppies". They're not just poo poo, but somewhat better than the tories like Milliband was, they keep actively saying they'll out tory the tories. At the absolute most charitable read of the last six months of labour stuff I could believe that while they would do all the evil poo poo the tories are they'd do it with a frowny face and not a big grin.

Bobby Deluxe posted:But in the meantime he represents a group of polite middle class briefcase wankers who at the very least are sometimes possible to shame into doing the right thing re disabilities, minorities & the environment I would seriously question the bit in bold. There were lots of people who said this about Starmer during or just after the leadership election. That he was just a vacuous managerial type who could be pushed to do anything - including some modest left-wing stuff - if it was demonstrably popular. Two years later and that has - surely? - proven to not only be the case but the exact opposite has happened? I'm trying to think of a time when Starmer or Labour Under Starmer has ever been shamed into doing the right thing and I can't think of an example. I would be genuinely interested in being reminded of instances where that is the case. Starmer clearly isn't just about courting popularity to win power. If he was he wouldn't keep either missing wide open chances to say/do demonstrably popular things or saying/doing the complete opposite. The Labour right are some of the most ideological, dogmatic, narrow-minded, exclusionary bastards in a whole business of bastards. Starmer has made it abundantly clear that he doesn't want to be popular with (as he sees it) the wrong sort of people, but he is actively trying to appease a very particular and narrow part of the electorate that wants Tory policy (or even Torier-than-Tory policy) without the associations of the Tory party, and more broadly he's signalling at every opportunity that Labour (and therefore British politics) is now 'safe' for all the usual vested interests. He has no desire to do left-leaning things and wouldn't be shamed into doing them (or even better not-left things) because he has no shame. Anyone who stands up and explicitly boasts about how proud he is to not keep promises he literally put his signature to doesn't have shame.

I guess if my choice of MP candidates was just a poo poo tory candidate and a poo poo labour candidate I'd vote for the labour candidate - the tories tend to get to form governments, so I'd rationalise it as voting to reduce the power of the next tory government, and egg would be on my face if labour somehow wins. There's usually someone else to vote for though.

I live in a Tory safe seat, and our current poo poo MP Mel Stride won 55% in the 2019 election, so me voting Labour would have only been a protest vote at most. For that reason, there's no way I'm going to make the effort to vote for Keith.

Labour winning a GE on their current platform of "slightly more efficient neo-liberal fuckery than the Tories" won't suddenly transform them into a party that gives a poo poo about the poor, vulnerable or disabled. It'll legitimise them being cunts to 80% of the country. This isn't a party that has a genuine ideological reason to want to be in power. They want to be in power because they want to be in power. It's a 13 year old's presentation during a poo poo form group assembly: "Hi, I'm Keith [yeah we know Keith, gently caress off already] and when I grow up I want to be Prime Minister", then the form tutor remembers they're supposed to be teaching rather than browsing dating apps, 'Uh yeah, Keith, why do you want to be Prime Minister?' and then Keith has an aneurysm because he doesn't loving know. It's power for power's sake. They act like cunts and get into power --> they act like cunts while in power to maintain it.

Disappointment after disappointment from Starmer are making it not exactly feel amazing to vote Labour next time, but I'm just not persuaded by the alternative arguments people are putting out here. My overriding concern is to get the Tories out asap, not some vague hope that by playing 4d chess with my vote it will somehow lead to a new, more left-wing labour, or a new party (with regulated blackjack and unionised hookers).

Politicians are going to have to face up to doing something about energy costs eventually. £500 power bills in January is not viable. Most of the country does not have £500 of slack in their budget - it’s going to be a choice between paying for power and feeding their children. You don’t need an organised non-payment strike, one will just happen anyway. Obviously tories don’t give a gently caress about individual suffering but this is social collapse stuff.
