yeah, but I was also using the food industry as an example. The tories want to privatize everything, and shift control from public towards private interests. The same process will occur with regards to energy resources, healthcare, airlines, and pretty much all sectors of the economy. Brexit under a tory government provides a blank slate which corporations can exploit.

for instance, one thing the brexiteers used as propaganda was the fishing industry. Under the EU laws, much of the fishing rights in UK waters went to European (largely Dutch and Spanish) ships. British fishers were told that Brexit would "give them back control" of their waters. Not true! The fishing rights will remain in control of the european fishers because the tories don't actually give a poo poo about the british fishers, and want only to make as much profit as possible, which they can do by selling the fishing rights to european megacorps and not to poor british fishers.

this article owns lol

I don’t know, I think seeing the realisation slowly dawn on the UK negotiators that this isn’t going to be “the easiest negotiation ever” and that their position is actually very weak could be quite enjoyable.

As for Brexit being a disaster, don’t forget that Dear Leader is in favour of it.

You're making the mistake of thinking they a) want a deal and b) therefore care about anything other than looking strong at home

boris desperately needs the british economy not to flat line and for there to be food shortages and a catastrophic health crisis right as he's threatening no deal brexit which will do the same because it'll rather dampen enthusiasm for it from the general public while killing what little leverage he has in negotiations

had the PLP actually got behind corbyn from the start and not sabotaged at every turn it might well have been a win in 2017 and it was their constant talking to the media about antisemitism that completely poisoned public opinion about him between 2017 and 2019

gently caress everyone involved in that

That may well be true.

Tho in that case either the leadership shoulda done something about it or if they can't labour is just doomed for the foreseeable future anyway

Fwiw the stuff gum is saying I don't disagree with necessarily either I just don't think any of this is clear and the party is gonna be relitigating it until we all die which luckily will be soon

Whatever I think about RLB the idea of kier as leader is very depressing. He's very uninspiring

yeah i agree with all of this pretty much. the PLP problem there was no way around other than open selections and the leadership hosed that up extremely badly. labour leader has no way to just straight up sack a load of MPs like boris did afaik even had they been willing to

If they do any of the actually necessary measures it becomes near impossible to take them back when it's clear everything still works anyway so they're desperately trying to avoid doing socialism in the hopes this just blows over
