Keir Starmer's time is up

[agricola]

I read it as ironic, if not

Was thinking of commenting that it was clearly part of a Stalinist Purge, ah no sorry Corbyn's not there any more it's a perfectly reasonable and straightforward result of breaking party rules.

I am feeling massively pissed off at the brass necked hypocrisy of the Guardian types who spent five years whining about 'stalinist' Corbyn and are completely silent about the scandalous authoritarianism of Labour under Starmer. And we know from the Blair years that that the way these people run Labour will be the way they run Britain if they form a government.

My cousin was on strike today, and Labour's shadow minister for her sector just got sacked for supporting her.

Just what the fuck are she and her colleagues supposed to make of that?

"This dispute would not be taking place under a Labour Government".

With respect, Sam, you sure about that?

 

[Orang Utan]

Labour need to change their name if they’re not going to support it

I think he's likely right - I can quite see Starmer banning strikes altogether if he gets in.

 

[SpookyFrank]

He's proper fucked this up. He might have just destroyed the Labour party.

Think it’s all part of Starmer’s cunning plan to rename the party from Labour to Capital

But Capital doesn't want him either. If it did his party wouldn't be flat fucking broke.

Voters prefer Starmer to Tory leadership candidates Sunak and Truss, poll finds​

source

24% of respondents said they had a favourable opinion of the Labour leader, compared to 20% for the former Chancellor and just 17% for the Foreign Secretary.

The proportion of those surveyed who had an unfavourable view of Starmer was 43%, lower than the figure recorded for both Sunak (50%) and Truss (45%). Starmer received a net favourability rating of -19, compared to the former Chancellor on -30 and the Foreign Secretary on -28.

The 'marginally less shit than the blue tories' policy is working, folks...

Kick in shin better than poke in eye, polls say.

Were they saying they'd prefer Starmer instead of Truss and Sunak as leader of the tory party?

Why did he do that?

Neoliberal Party doesn't quite have the same ring.

Dreadful day for what’s left of the Labour Party.

Being sacked as a Labour frontbencher for going on a picket is like being sacked from the Tory front bench for going to a shareholder’s meeting. Or the Liberal front bench (if they have enough MPs to warrant one) for wearing sandals.

Mission accomplished then

I doubt Ill be voting for labour again, unprincipled stamzie, he should just join the tories

 

[ruffneck23]

I was one of only 5000 odd Labour voters in my true blue area, I wont be doing it again, Greens or if have to hold my nose to get the tories out it may have to be LD

Although I think spoiling the ballot paper with a cock might be a more favorable direction to go in.

I'll vote Labour because a) I probably know the candidate and b) she's got no chance. If either of those two things weren't true I wouldn't.

You wouldn’t vote Labour if she had a chance of winning, even though you know (and I presume from that knowledge approve of) the candidate? That seems an odd stance?

I wouldn't help put that prick Starmer in.

 

[SpookyFrank]

What I've seen from him on this has been 100% on point. Nice to see a few people left in the PLP with some fucking backbone.

 

[tommers]

Yeah, I'm done. God knows who I'll vote for. Greens I guess. Know fuck all about them. They probably want to privatise air or something.
