always surprised when i see McDonnell is still a Labour MP - would have thought they'd have found a way to kick him out by now too

Lol my MP isn’t there despite being a Muslim in a heavily Muslim seat which was Labour’s safest seat at the last election (Bradford West). This is the seat that Galloway won for Respect in the wake of the Iraq war and tbh I could see Labour losing it to a genuine challenger if they’re going to continue on this path.

The Ch4 News economist talking about inflation just said that the Govt were engaging in a lot of "self-congratulation and black-slapping". I'm hoping it was a slip of the tongue but honestly who knows how they celebrate in Westminster

It’s just such a bizarre and unnecessary self-I flirted wound from Starmer. These aren’t the ‘far left’, they’re MPs whose constituencies are pissing mad at Labour’s stance. I know that the approval of the right-wing rags guides all Labour policy at the moment but giving their MPs a free vote seems like it’s at least going to prevent this public mutiny and won’t shift any Tory voters minds much.

It's the stupid corner he's backed himself into. He has to show that he is Strong on Anti-Semitism. Opposing Israel's actions is (in the stupid discourse of this country) anti-semitic. Ergo, calling for a ceasefire is anti-semitic.

Labour's whole election policy still seems to be targeted at something like 150k-200k 'swing voters' in the red wall.
They only care about appeasing them, and their friends in the media.

It's not even an internal battle, this is cross-spectrum rebellion from the firmest comrade to the meltiest melt. He literally didn't have to do this, could've offered a free vote and now 1/4 of the PLP has rebelled

No you fools, this is part of Starmer's five year plan to trick the tories into thinking Labour is weak, so they call an early election and then he will display the famed political nous of a leader-in-waiting all the pundits have ascribed to him.

Any day now...

It would be kind of hilarious though to enter a GE and in every interview the politician in question keeps going "so we don't know who's going to be leader yet - might be me - but don't worry about that. Vote for us."

I maintain that Starmer still thinks politics works like it did when he emerged in 2017. He still thinks he can do clever abstentions and then add things in the amendments. He still thinks the war is over the imaginary red wall voters. And he still thinks everyone wants to go back to 'politics as usual' when the world is on fire and we need to offer something different.

Sunak is actually a political genius - inheriting a shitshow staffed by a gaggle of cunts, a win at the next general election seems almost out of reach. Almost - until he finds the one person who can turn his political fortunes around. Someone who can run a tory campaign more effectively than Alexander Nix. Someone who can single handedly turn the tide and violently swing the polls in Rishi's favour.

What if the world's 5th (?) richest country just made it so that nobody living there had to worry about being able to afford to live? It's not that much money per person per year, no need to means test it really. Really seems like the bare minimum for a functional society, if you can't even manage that what's the point of having all that cash?
