Keir Starmer's time is up

[AmateurAgitator]

We enjoy hanging out with you too.

Politics is to a large degree about finding allies. If at some point you realise you've no-one else on your side at all, it's really no use blaming other people. The only common denominator in your inability to find people to work with is you. You've got to struggle together with the real people you meet, not the fantasy people you wish existed.

Whatever. At the end of the day I don't have to 'work with' everyone on Urban.

Are you finding it easy to find people to work with in real life? Cos with the attitude you displayed above I would guess you must be finding it really difficult.

Nope

I think his strategy is to avoid offering anything hopeful or decent so that the rightwing press won't go after him. With a tory government in crisis and a media that isn't viciously hostile I think Starmer is banking on winning as 'the least worst option'. Blairism round two essentially. From a strategic point of view it's not wholly implausible in my view, no matter how depressing it is.

They'll go after him anyway.

When it comes to the general election, everytime he says he will do something they will gleefully bring up the lies he told in the leadership election to show how he can't be trusted to follow through.

You do have to go and tidy your bedroom though

Why is all this anarchist stuff on the Starmer thread? Starmer the wet fucking wipe has probably never even kicked a football though some old twats greenhouse window.

Is it a window, if it's in a greenhouse, or is it a wall?

 

[ska invita]

I think the position is perfectly clear ie. yes but no.

No, its No but also shut up

Interesting opinion piece here. Someone at the Independent has decided to break the otherwise general media silence on the Forde report and the right wing of the Labour party:

Opinion: As the Forde report shows, Labour’s right wing is the source of its problems

The fact that people within his own party were terrified of Corbyn begs the question: which part of supporting the working class did they disagree with?

The Forde report seems to be gaining some media traction

Diane Abbott urges Starmer to act over racism in Labour party

MP says she had received no apologies after sexist and racist remarks made about her was revealed in Forde report

And Dawn Butler in The Voice

Dawn Butler: Labour needs to do better, and the Forde report is the opportunity

Dawn Butler writes that Labour's response to the inquiry findings was not good enough. The party need to take racism more seriously.

Some panes around head height could be designated as windows maybe.

Or is the fram le the wall and all the glass panes windows in it?

Fucking unions should disaffiliate from labour

I thought his speech was good. He made the case for supporting the strikes while making a good argument for Labour being in power and what would be different.

Disgusted that he has been sacked. I don't think other shadow ministers who've gone 'off-message' have all been sacked, have they?

Fucking factional bullshit yet again.

[Beermoth]

Literally no difference between Labour and Tory besides the rosettes.

 

[tommers]

Genuinely. What the actual fuck? These people are horrendous.

“King Keir” throwing his authoritarianism about.

Who knew?!

 

[teqniq]

Although he is in a safe Labour seat, and as such what I vote will make little difference, with each passing day I am finding it harder and harder to find good reasons to vote for my Labour MP.

 

[JimW]

Collective responsibility is a thing, and it's well seen how closely they all held to it during Corbyn's tenure

 

[Smokeandsteam]

Jess Phillips has, I am very reliably told, just walked straight past the RMT picket in Birmingham without even stopping to talk let alone show support/solidarity.

The fraudulent 'salt of the earth working class Brummie' mask slips again....

And there you have it.

a brilliant development bring this shit on - big up that man Sam Tarry

The Labour Party 2022 under Starmer:

Always on the side of the working class.
