Keir Starmer's time is up

[SysOut]

Even if the alternative is Starmerism

TINA

The fact no new left party has been formed speaks volumes about Labour members - including Corbyn.
And the power of the media.

Those two factors are far more depressing than the existence of the Tories.
If there were a decent leftist party, the present batch of tories would provide a huge opportunity for recruitment and activism.

I see Starmers role as something quite sinister. Whereas the charlatan Johnson dreamed of playing the charlatan Churchill in a war scenario, it seems that Starmer is one "chosen" to be a war leader. I imagine he is Washingtons choice for furthering their foreign policy.

Of course, I'm just fantasising...

New left parties have been formed - Socialist Alliance, People Before Profit, TUSC, Respect, Workers Party. It's the voting system which stymies them (and, of course, whether the prospect of standing in elections is a constructive idea.)

There must be a way to get something built without risking splitting the vote

and northern independence party and breakthrough party.

and (if you can call it 'left' that is) whatever george galloway's latest thing is

Socialist alliance fucked over by the swp, the ruc a very strange group, tried to go for a Muslim vote which perhaps never existed

On Sunak and the economy, perhaps he’s regarded by some as having saved their bacon during covid through furlough. Also as a former chancellor you’d expect him to be rated strongly on this, rightly or wrongly.

Maurice Mcleod’s bid to be Labour MP candidate for Camberwell and Peckham halted ‘by party’s right’

And now:

Labour probe after councillor jokes he has ‘worst tan for Black man’ at Black History Month event

Labour crisis intensifies as ‘racist’ candidate picked

Gillick competency doesnt seem to apply to trans teens implies Starmer...

What’s the problem with Starmer’s reply?

Looking at the posting history of 'wow', they don't appear to be worth wasting any time when I've other things to do.

Fun and games is it?

Yes clearly finds trans rights entertaining. The mask slips somewhat.

Does Starmer want to apply that to contraception, too, incidentally?

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Be scared

Don't want to 'like' that for obvious reasons but thanks for posting it. I can never face wading through all the shit to keep up with this stuff, so grateful to you and other posters who do.

Nice dog-whistle phrasing, rather than "we should be training up more people for the NHS"

Nice dog-whistle phrasing, rather than "we should be training up more people for the NHS"

I was literally just thinking along these lines but didn't really form a coherent enough thought to post. There's so many other ways of framing the issue that are more true to the reality of the situation. "Healthcare training needs to be more accessible" "The NHS is struggling to recruit workers" or whatever. Great example of scapegoating that headline is

Utterly sickening. Utterly, utterly sickening.

Typical shammer

 

[Rob Ray]

Near-parity of unemployment to jobs available amidst a cost of living crisis and Keir's best response to his dropping polls is to try and grab some of the racist tkn er jerbs vote. Now he's up against another boring technocrat he must be absolutely shitting it.

 

[SysOut]

We saw the same with Cameron versus Blair. It is difficult to oppose when you agree.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aside from the substantive point, that last line is well played

 

[danny la rouge]

The BBC website is airbrushing Starmer's comments. They wouldn't have done that for Corbyn.

 

[two sheds]

Indeed, was thinking earlier that they should be asking Starmer "Are you a racist?" at every interview in the light of the recent reports, like they asked Corbyn "Are you an antisemite?" whether he'd said anything or not.
