Fucking hell, that's pure contempt.

I suppose the idea is that he can be 'electable'; which may be worthwhile in the short term considering how hostile the media is to those figures and leaders deemed too left wing, badgering and undermining them, scaremongering. He's colouring in within the lines. Not sure sneering at the idea of a place called Coventry will help things.

I wasn't expecting as much contempt as that, did what said on tin

Coventry: the birthplace of Larkin and The Specials and The Selector. A place central to the industrial development of Britain where car making, bike making, cycle making and machine tool shops (which Starmer’s own dad later drew a living from) created a multi racial vibrant working class city. A city that elected Dave Nellist as an MP and then after expulsion from Labour as a Militant councillor. A city integral to new forms of trade union organisation centred around car making and also women workers.
A union city - with an organised working class - that’s struggled after being smashed by Thatcher and deindustrialisation. A city that kept voting labour despite labour doing nothing for it as the bins dispute shows us again.
The sneering, middle class north London contempt, in Starmers’s voice at the thought of it betrays an embarrassingly poor grasp of the development of the English (multiracial) working class, and with one word, shows why Labour has been dying in places like this for years. It might still vote Labour but the relationship between the city and the party is an long estranged one.

I hope all our trade union brothers and sisters in Coventry and across the country see this slipping of the mask.

Oxted folk only know the place as somewhere they send the manager of their local Waitrose when he fails to re-stock the Nocellara olive shelf.

Sounds like Starmer wants me to vote for the yellow tories in my constituency.

back on the other side
on top of that his position on "industrial disputes" is that they should "end". Power stance

That's unfortunate. I did vote for the yellow tory here for many years because, for all the party's faults, he was a good local MP. But having been defeated by the proper Tories at the last election I was going to vote Labour. Apparently I shouldn't now.

There’s the obvious falsehood that the Labour Party is some sort of disinterested bystander rather than one of the participants. There’s also the conscious and stomach churning revival of the Blairite lie that all strikes are always unnecessary and therefore wrong. Added on top is the surprisingly hostile briefing against Unite for having the temerity to fight for its members material interests.
All of this makes me wonder what more Labour has to do before some ‘socialists’ get the message?

Her views on what the police should do with suspected terrorists are scary though. "shoot first and ask questions later". Just imagine how the family of Jean Charles De Menezes would feel about that. What a fucking arsehole Rayner is. There's no other way of putting it really. But that was already my opinion of her (and Andy Burnham), because of her refusal to oppose the tory welfare bill in 2015- which amounted to support for it.

Not least because if you don't, she might have you shot.

I reckon she should henceforth be known as hollow-point
Personally, I don't think she would have said something like that if she didn't mean it. I don't think it was just posturing.

Starmer has spent the day working out how he can start a new factional battle in the Labour Party.

I hope he kicks them out, the fucking sense of self-righteousness and ego to come out with that on a day like today.
