You're not pro brexit? Are you sure? The rich are going to get richer from it, as they deserve. It's only going to hurt the vindictive classes.

Anyone who thinks Labour moving to the right would be a good thing needs to watch the interview with Damien Green on Newsnight tonight.

'Labour are offering a £10 an hour minimum wage, you can't even say it will reach £9 an hour. How can you call yourselves the party of workers?'

'Labour would enforce a 20:1 pay ratio, showing workers their bosses will not continue to get inordinate pay rises. Why won't you do that?'

'Labour want to intervene in rail networks, royal mail and other markets. Why are those bad ideas but your proposed intervention in the energy market is a good idea?'


You want the Tories defending themselves against popular left-wing policies. Try and challenge them on stuff like immigration or being tough on skivers and they'll just laugh and shift even further to the right, just like they did in 2015.

If corbysista labour doesnt do better than miliband labour, and does worse than blairite labour did, then we know that a move left has not been helpful and depending on the magnitude of the difference, may indeed have been harmful.

Why do people keep making out Brexit is a right wing thing when a lot of the hard left also voted out?

A high court judge is to consider whether a legal ban on prosecuting Tony Blair over the Iraq war can be challenged.

A private criminal prosecution against the former Labour prime minister was blocked in 2016 when it was ruled Blair would have immunity from any criminal charges.

On Tuesday the high court will consider arguments for reversing that ban and for keeping it.

...

The private prosecution seeks the trial in a British court of Blair, the foreign secretary in 2003, Jack Straw, and Lord Goldsmith, the attorney general at the time the government was deciding to join the invasion of Iraq.

It seeks their conviction for the crime of aggression and is based on the damning findings of last year’s Chilcot report into the British decision to join the invasion of Iraq, under the false pretext that Saddam Hussein’s regime had weapons of mass destruction.

The attorney general claims the case for the crime of aggression does not exist in English law, even though it does exist in international law. But that argument appears to be undermined in a document written by Goldsmith himself.

In his 2003 memo on the legality of the Iraq war, Goldsmith, then attorney general, seemed to accept a key point of those now seeking his prosecution. “Aggression is a crime under customary international law which automatically forms part of domestic law,” he wrote.

What's worse? Blair never being tried for his crimes, or being tried and exonerated?

But we can't talk about immigration as that's 'racist' despite the fact this country has significant issues due to far too little money has been spent on infrastructure, and until that infrastructure has caught up its silly to add further people to it and making the problems even worse.

Honestly, the only way Labour's going to redeem themselves in the eyes of the British electorate after they get thrashed in June is to purge the extremists, head back to the center, and build a working collation government with the ruling Tory party.

Or alternatively the monikers hard left and hard right mean sod all without describing what they are hard left / right of.

Many people are 'hard' right on immigration, while also being 'hard' left on economics. This has been shown constantly on the opinion polls.

Its as I have said a few times, Labour would win with a landslide with a manifesto based around nationalisation, house building and limiting immigration in a region until average house prices are affordable. But we can't talk about immigration as that's 'racist' despite the fact this country has significant issues due to far too little money has been spent on infrastructure, and until that infrastructure has caught up its silly to add further people to it and making the problems even worse.
