i wouldn't be surprised if there's fewer labour party members here than there are anarchists

Who's a naughty boy?

Keir Starmer found to have breached MPs’ code of conduct over register of interests

Labour leader was late in declaring eight interests but watchdog called breaches ‘minor and/or inadvertent’

Be interesting to compare now with 2016/17 - I know I tore up my card when Starmer became leader. I was last to join, first to leave of my family - my brother left shortly after. I think my parents have just about given up after being members for decades.

It probably won't happen but if Liz Truss as new prime minister decides to do something serious about the cost of living crisis eg. rent caps or nationalise the energy companies, then Starmer's Labour will be utterly wrecked. The Tories only need to tack left on this issue, they can still take on the unions etc. at the same time and it would revive their fortunes. Wooden Thatcherite ideologue Sunak would never do it but Truss seems unpredictable to me, I think she represents the Torys' instinct for self preservation.

Reminiscent of Osborne / Cameron stealing the higher Minimum wage and rebranding it living wage.

Rent caps, no way in hell. The tories can't afford to even acknowledge that unearned income is an issue or their whole project could start to crumble.

Does Liz Truss know that though? I'm sure some party donors will explain it to her if not.

Truss has already put forward a sort of parallel-universe housing plan, according to which one of the key problems is that it costs too much to evict tenants, and this is why housing is so expensive.

I guess that's the long-promised ban on no-fault evictions out the window then. Who'd have guessed.

Yuck, what a scumbag:

 

[magneze]

Wasn't that last year?

Doubt the cunt has changed much though.

 

[ska invita]

Wasn't that last year?

Aye. I look forward to this year's Liverpool conference reception.

 

[teqniq]

Wasn't that last year?

Yes actually, i think it was. It may even have been me that posted here already.

 

[two sheds]

I'm just as angry now about it as I was last year

 

[Raheem]

Maybe it's become an annual tradition.

Yuck, what a scumbag:

Own Goal!

Amazing leadership

It's the only sort of goal he scores

"if you could freely evict me, you could charge me less rent!"

It'd be lovely if we could just dump her down a space wormhole and watch it collapse on her. Pour encourager les autres

Interesting to see what if any reaction there is from the leadership. It's pretty critical of the current approach.

Probably lose the whip for using a Corbyn-era soundbite.

It’s a cost of living crisis for the many, but it’s a bonanza for the few.

One would hope not, but we will see. Starmer and his Blairite backers need to read the fucking room.

aren't they trying to get her deselected?

 

[The39thStep]

Hopefully she’ll keep testing the line and get a few more to join her . The Labour Party can do without her but they’ll need to weigh up when and how . The bigger the campaign the more difficult it is for Labour . Got to admire her position on this .

 

[SpookyFrank]

Yes, and a few other beneficiaries of Corbyn's BAME women-only shortlists which the blairites are still sick to their guts about because they robbed the careerist drones who were next in line to be gifted those seats.
