Keir Starmer's time is up

[Raheem]

Politician says they'll do thing X you want if elected, and then they don't = pretty commonplace

Politician says they won't do thing X you want if elected, and then they do = struggling to think of an instance of this happening

"No new taxes."

Promising not to bring in tuition fees?

"No new taxes."

Yeah I thought of that one after I posted that, but otoh there are specific taxes that I think should be raised which haven't been (in fact frequently cut).

I didn't want them to bring in tuition fees.

Starmer is a stooge of China? There are many criticisms to be made of the useless shitbag, but a stooge of China? Is he off his tits?

Nope. He's not saying Starmer's a stooge of China, he's clearly drawing a parallel between China's old one child policy and the UK's two child limit that Starmer originally pledged to remove, but has now U-turned on.

He’s parodying the Controls On Immigration mug from Ed’s time as leader

Yes we've been here before but "I'm not interested in hope and change" is a fascinating new twist on an old routine

 

[Artaxerxes]

After the wild ride of the Corbyn years Labour is keen to emphasise it wants nothing to do with its members and campaigners especially if they want change.


We’ll see how popular the “I’m the adult here” routine gets when Starmer wins because if I remember Brown correctly it lost its novelty rapidly

Looking forward to him getting D:Team to reform and record 'Things Can Only Stay The Same'

probably all lefties

Utter failure to beat the Tories in their incredibly vulnerable Uxbridge seat. Doesn’t bode well for him

Standard practice supposedly, you aren’t allowed to directly buy activists food as it’s treating or whatever.


Instead you have a “donations” box that despite having no cash in it is always able to buy enough food out of that and off the books with it

1 out of 3 really isn't a good look

That one’s on Sadiq ‘Remain’ Khan

 

[kabbes]

That one’s on Sadiq ‘Remain’ Khan

Only because Starmer’s party didn’t provide things to vote for.

 

[Artaxerxes]

That one’s on Sadiq ‘Remain’ Khan

Because of the ULEZ?

 

[teqniq]

Lol it's actually because of ULEZ which the vermin have previously campaigned for, so nice bit of hypocrisy from them but well done for shoehorning 'remain' in there.

He would want to be acknowledged as a leading supporter of remain surely?

So, in addition to helping Johnson win the last election he’s now saved his old seat for the Tories with his witless ULEZ programme (which in fact was a Tory policy which he eagerly adopted).

The overall point to remember is that the greatest danger to the prospects of a labour government are the remainder centrist Blairite’s who lead of the disastrous second referendum policy: Starmer, Khan, Mandelson, Blair etc

Sadiq Khan's old seat was Tooting.

Anyone who still thinks brexit is the biggest issue has got a fucking screw loose, whichever side of it they're on.

Who said it was? The fact is that those who drove the Labour positon on Brexit, which cost Labout the 2019 GE, are the same people who lost Uxbridge and the same people leading the party and its miserable politics now. They were a danger and toxic then and they are now. They need to own their failings.

 

[DotCommunist]

Well well well, looks like the flags will need to get bigger an the purges more frequent. Or some good policies? but thats not going to happen

 

[The39thStep]

Don't think he has the strength tbh

What does that have to do with Labour losing uxbridge over ULEZ?

So, in addition to helping Johnson win the last election he’s now saved his old seat for the Tories with his witless ULEZ programme (which in fact was a Tory policy which he eagerly adopted).

He didn't eagerly adopt it, though i'm sure he's not venmously opposed to it, he had to accept the condition of having it spread to greater london in return for funding.

The overall point to remember is that the greatest danger to the prospects of a labour government are the remainder centrist Blairite’s who lead of the disastrous second referendum policy: Starmer, Khan, Mandelson, Blair etc

was that relevant here? Certainly they are awful and have no policies, which is the bigger problem

Apparently, this is bullshit that Luke Akehurst put out to muddy the water, it is perfectly legal and justified to feed your activists, they are going to vote for you anyway.

Treating only applies to feeding voters.
