Mega Comrade posted:I somewhat feel sorry for Rochdale, he will be a poo poo MP for them. But it's very funny seeing this happen to Labour. By all accounts he was poo poo as Bradford West’s MP, ran pretty much the same campaign as this one then never bothered to actually do any work as an MP.

Outside of what you think about this particular guy, it has to be acknowledged that if someone on a 90th percentile salary can't live comfortably there must be something deeply wrong with this country.

Grey Hunter posted:I've had a couple of people say this is why Labor have no policies. Why say something when the Tories will just steal it. Then surely it'd be really helpful to us all if they proposed a of of good policies and let the tories steal them

Coming in late for the Corbyn monstering chat, but the very first one I remember was 'Jeremy Corbyn wants gender segregation on trains', and you had to read right to the end of the story to find out the actual truth, is that a campaigner had approached him with the idea of female-only carriages to reduce sexual assault on trains as some other foreign countries do, and Corbyn said that if elected Labour would consider holding a consultation on the subject. I remember reading this baffled as everyone talked about the bullshit headline rather than the actuality of what happened and realising this was just how it was gonna be.

Bobby Deluxe posted:They're also deeply confused if they think it's the middle classes protesting private healthcare. It's the middle classes who can afford it. Working class people can't afford it. They're not confused, it's just in their best interest to pretend that anyone left-of-centre is coming from a position of privilege

Kojiro posted:I'm in Bradford and a lot of pro-Palestine indepedants have won out over Labour here, so not all tories by any means. Labour hold overall though Yeah the independent in my Bradford ward defeated the Labour incumbent. His leaflet opened with ‘a vote for Labour is a vote for Keir Starmer’, then Starmer’s quote about Israel having the right to cut off water and power to Gaza, then ‘Say no to genocide, say no to war crimes’. Labour pretty much did all his campaigning for him.

notaspy posted:Your repayments don't stop once you have paid off the debt. You have to phone up and cancel the payments. I actually got a letter from them a year before mine was due to end, saying that I should call them up and switch to paying by direct debit rather than have it taken out of my pay to avoid this, thought they would have done this for everyone.
