multijoe posted:In addition to what others have said, the alternative is the 'I believe in nothing and won't do anything' guy. Johnson's managed to land on his feet with the vaccine program, which has ended up being the most significant government handout since the Blair years. What do Labour have to counter that tremendous success - repeating 'Tory Sleaze' a hundred times? labour are also just going "well of course they're doing well because they did a fantastic job of the vaccine", rather than saying that they hosed every single other thing up, killed 150,000 people through malice and incompetence, and the only reason they bet so heavily on the vaccine is because they wanted to rely entirely on them rather than lockdowns and they would have turned us into India in the process like how have they let bojos blood for the blood god moment slip from their grasp if they genuinely think his handling of the vaccine is responsible for the "bounce"

I've officially not voted labour for the first time ever  i just spoilt my ballot because all the contests were uncompetitive and there were no decent third parties almost voted for the council candidate because she seemed ok but she's absolutely going to lose, and the only miniscule effect of my vote will be adding onto the overall pile of labour votes which Keith will claim all love him, so I didnt could possibly have voted green for the mayoral election but iirc GPEW are a bit poo poo and I'd already put a big cross through the ballot paper anyway so oh well for some reason I went back and did my massive cross in black ink after I saw that instruction on the paper, I think I'm just very suggestible

I didn't vote green because why would I vote for one party that explicitly wants me to gently caress off after deciding not to vote for another because it explicitly wants me to gently caress off

hmmm weren't they just saying that no one had mentioned Corbyn to them?? anyway it's odd that the lack of trust caused by the eternal traitor Emmanuel Corbstein would continue to increase a year after he's left the leadership and six months after he was kicked from the party and cause the Labour to win fewer votes than it did in either election where he was in charge

Jippa posted:I say this pretty much every year but labour should just run with legal weed. There are so many successful working examples of it in north america now that it would just sell itself. this was possibly my favourite Keith moment when he responded to a question about decriminalising cannabis with some bullshit about prosecuting many cases involving drugs and seeing the harm caused by drugs and gangs I mean it would almost be a reasonable point if he was supporting legalisation instead but he wasn't he was saying we should deal with the issues caused by the black market by ensuring there is always a black market the man is an actual moron

OwlFancier posted:And that someone was karl marx, as this is literally his view of it. There are two classes, the working class, who are required to sell their labour, and the bourgeoisie, who make their money by owning things and using that ownership to force other people to give them a portion of the value they create by labouring. A footballer cannot foot ball profitably without entering into a contract with a football club and league, because the clubs and leagues own the means by which the foot baller can produce value, thus the people who own the clubs and leagues get rich by exploiting the labour of the footballer. I'm wondering, aren't (premier league) footballers and like CEOs and other extremely high salaried "workers" effectively petit bourgeoisie? if you've got millions of pounds in the bank that represents a claim on future production and they more than likely own enormous amounts of stocks and shares which is actual direct ownership of the means of production e: like they're not really living off their work after a certain point, they could stop working forever and survive off unearned income generated by their current wealth and the wealth itself XMNN fucked around with this message at 10:16 on May 8, 2021 |

their definition of hard left is mild social democracy, if you want to nationalise public services and infrastructure then you're basically a Leninist and need to be kept out at all costs obviously you should continue to fund and vote for the party which hates you and your insane communist belief in like maybe doing something for people, but you should not expect any concessions in return

quote:More seasoned supporters of Starmer say he is the victim of circumstances. They would be cheered by the cautious conclusion drawn by one Tory official: “Covid can give and Covid can take away.” In other words, the pandemic has led to instability that could transform Starmer’s reign just as it has Johnson’s.

peanut- posted:If anyone fancies inflicting psychic damage on themselves here's Peter Mandelson's diagnosis of the situation in the FT. Though it can be neatly summarised as quote:Voters in northern England have felt disconnected from Labour ever since we left government in 2010. That’s why we lost in 2015, 2017 and 2019. As we accelerated towards the fantasies of Jeremy Corbyn, the respectable working class voters who gave New Labour its majorities were mystified by the attempts to airbrush out its achievements in government. loving lmao Labour just left government in 2010 voluntarily and then they were defeated in 2015, 2017 and 2019 because they decided to start betraying the working class I think this guy is a very astute and honest critic who is certainly not just advancing the line that suits him

OwlFancier posted:Genuinely did he just lurk around the back door of the studio or something lmao? I cannot begin to imagine how the leaders office could possibly have thought mcdonnel is the best person to send to talk to the press. my guess would be the producers tried to get someone from the frontbench to come on but starmer couldn't decide which of them were currently sacked or not, so they ended up ringing around for other people to fill the slot

I love the fact that he's backed himself into a corner by saying he's actually promoting rayner rather than sacking her, I presume he's currently casting around attempting to sack other people so she can have their job and probably failing and having to promote them too also even if there are people stupid enough to believe that he always intended to promote her, I suspect Rayner isn't one of them so thats going to be a very normal and functional dynamic and everyone will absolutely believe that they're one big happy family and not a scheming nest of vipers I still can't believe how bad he is at this, once you've leaked that someone is going they should just be gone

serious gaylord posted:There are 4 jobs higher in seniority to 'Party chair' available to Kier. Shadow Home Sec/Chancellor/Foreign office and Leader of the Opposition. So hes basically got to Sack Dodds, Nandy or Symonds. Any of those will result in a leadership challenge imo. just absolutely amazing 1 year in and he's already trapped in his fuhrerbunker and basically set up a situation where whatever move he makes is going to piss off a bunch of people and possibly get him booted
