Indeed. The whole point of neoliberalism is that you bring a well-ordered market to everything. This market needs state intervention to prevent it failing. It also requires states to provide the metrics and incentives that the market will operate to. Neoliberals want to prevent centralised planning and control, not state activity per se.

won't he have to suspend himself from the party?

Is he calling for even harsher measures to be taken against the Palestinians?

Looks like he has fallen into galloway's trap and proved his point about labour and the left's fetishisation of palestinians! (the gaza ones at any rate, not them boring formerly of yarmouk ones) Galloway's Workers' Party of Britain

I expect it depends on what the Tories have said about it

Starmzy news: he has predictably pissed off the BoDs with his luke warm opportunistic support for the Palestinians. No doubt he has also upset the Jewish Labour Movement.
He is going to have to suspend himself now.

so defeated, thinks it's funny
Looking forward to him trying to triangulate Galloway's vote further by bringing up woke gays on the Archers.

strictly off the record
It's just the shear empty cynicism isn't it? Do they really think anyone in Batley and Spen will fall for this?

Mad George is a well enough known figure nationally to be confident of getting a good share of the vote, certainly he is likely to be the most successful of the crackpots perhaps he will be the one to beat the LibDems into third place.
The problem for Starmer is that the other crackpots might take some votes off the Tories but nothing like what Galloway will take off Labour. It could well be that Galloway takes enough votes off Labour to deny them victory by a modest margin.
That has got to be the worst scenario for Starmer losing because voters deserted him for BoZo and Mad George. Like I said I would love to be a fly on the wall in any strategy meetings, I bet there are some heated discussions with a good measure of gloom thrown in.

He only got 489 votes in west bromwich despite raking in 25k on gofundme alone. He can go lower.

I agree, but I suspect Labour's internal polling is telling them that a similar performance by GG in Batley could be significant.

Keith is off to do some campaigning in Batley and Spen today which should put the kiss of death on the entire campaign.
What I think will be just as significant - but not as noticeable - as Galloway is just the sheer lack of energy or enthusiasm around Labour. Stay at homes will outnumber anyone crossing over to him.
Tories to win just by getting their base out and this to be portrayed as voters switching parties when this is fairly minimal
