Keir Starmer's time is up

Ha I'd forgotten about her. Jo whatsname? What an accent. And the bus thing. Literally not heard of since 2019. Fair play.
 

I just clocked a load of Labour right-wingers, then Jo Swinson over-egging herself.

Made me realise that I had completely forgotten about The Tinge. :D

Probably a good thing, and no, I didn't notice that Swinson had Starmer's face either!
 
She actually has a directorship at a non-profit and a visiting professor's role at a crap University. Not too shabby for six months as leader of the lib dems.

Now,I'm confused. I'd forgotten what she looked like, but now, after checking, I see that she already looks a bit like Starmer, so I don't know now if the video's been manipulated.
 

A useful reminder just how hopeless (and unpopular) centrist politics has been in this country over the last 12 years. Note how it's the Guardian trying to juxtaposition the 'Independent Group' renegades from right-wing Labour with Jo Swinson's Liberal Democrats - their idea of a 'progressive alliance'. It completely folded in the General Election later that year, but served a very useful purpose in siphoning off some of the more gullible 'remain' voters from Labour, thereby boosting Johnson's majority.
 
TIG/Independent Group/Change UK is exactly why there won't be a split in mainstream parties for some time yet. The shadow of that disaster will reach over decades to come.
 
So anyway, we are predictably back to where we are are under the tenure of the grown ups.

That bastard Corbyn paid off £25 million of Labour debt and left £13 million in the bank account upon his departure.

So the grownups have pissed £18 million up the wall in two years and left the party £5 million in debt.

The tweet doesn't say they are £5 million in debit it says they mad a loss of £5 million. So that would be a loss of £5 not £18 million. Unless the tweet has it wrong?

I am basing that on Corbyn leaving the party with £18m surplus in 2020 and the grown ups now getting the party £5m in debt.

"You can't put a price on being electable"

(101 Diamond Sutras, the Dalai Starmer Collection)
 
This is good stuff from Labour - preventing price rises and hitting the corporate profits that are the main driver of inflation.

The Times front page suggests that even 75% of tory voters support the Labour plan to windfall tax the energy companies to freeze energy bills. Truss's team will (or should) recognize that their 'tax cuts for the rich to 'solve inflation' fantasy is now dead. Effective in appealing to their members, but useless in the real world.

If Starmer's advisors are not totally cloth eared they will also learn two things a) that their caution and slowness is and will be portrayed as indecision and a lack of a plan and b) that now going further - for example by announcing that the energy companies, water companies and other key utilities will be bought back into public ownership by Labour - would be equally popular.

Leaving ideology etc out of it, not to now call for it would be shit political judgement on any measure. I fully expect Labour not to learn the lessons, but a clear plan based on public ownership, planning and a serious short and long term plan to grip energy supply and costs would put Labour in the box seat and an incoming Truss administration in a place where corporation tat cuts etc will build a mounting fury against it from day one.

Haven’t been following what Labour says it would do, because Labour. Didn’tSteve Reed, rule out any nationalisation? Under Shitter’s plans won’t they have to find 35billion in the next quarter and the one after that too?
 
They also misused a lot of the ex members data and are currently not cooperating with the legal process on the lawsuit. They will eventually have to pay out on it.
Incidentally I am still receiving emails and calls from Labour despite quitting well over 18 months ago and repeatedly unsubscribing and asking for my data to be deleted. Their data compliance is still an utter shitshow.
 
I think we have already touched on this but this article about the treatment of Aspana Begum should give you every reason you need not to vote for Labour.



It has gained a lot of traction online forcing Keith to reply to John McDonnel with a complete lie.
