Keir Starmer's time is up

Heinze ravioli tins are over 2 quid now. All that is meaningless about using food choices as class signifier melts into etc etc.

And a hardline socialist wouldn't even let them eat cake

Extra virgin first pressing guy, me

That said, I miss cooking in lard.

I get dripping from my local butchers when I can. Sure Russ can tell me whether that makes me a Tory or not.

Dripping, redsquirrel.

Is it vegan dripping? Or is that a niche market yet to be exploited?

 

[deeyo]

And butter is for the bosses, proper socialists use margarine - I can't believe it's not socialism.

Margarine - lard surely!

blubber for our comrades in inuit ataqatigiit.

Labour party pushing out begging adverts on Facebook. I just trolled one, along with several hundred other folk... Then I get some Labour chatbot popping up.

And what is your view on this?

Myself I think the centre ground have done a personalized hatchet job on a person who overall isn't perfect but is a decent human being.

I find it disgusts me.

It's putting me off voting.

This is bad reporting.

The National Executive Committee of the Labour Party passed a Motion prohibiting Islington North Constituency Labour Party re-selecting Jeremy Corbyn as its Parliamentary Candidate about six months ago. So, it is hardy "news" that Corbyn will not be standing again as a Labour candidate.

 

[Gramsci]

Yes but that does not stop Starmer from using this as another way to personally attack someone he previously called a friend and colleague for his own political purposes.

Anyone who Starmer describes as a friend should be worried. Perhaps the State of Israel ought to investigate where his loyalties really lie.

 

[teqniq]

This is just disgusting. Both Starmer, who is making this all about him and his family rather than what has befallen the Palestinians and the Times article itself which is thinly disguised propaganda:



Keir Starmer fears for family’s safety over Gaza backlash

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Maybe he's concerned someone will drop a bomb on his house because of where he lives and what ethnic group he belongs to. That would be scary.

 

[two sheds]

Yes we're getting close to a terrorism clampdown I'd say

Is there a network of tunnels under his office, where his values are hiding?

Rachel Reeves weighs in:

"Good people put off politics"

Reeves is on record as saying that Palestinians weren't living under occupation after Israel left the Gaza strip. No more trustworthy than Starmer.

Rachel Reeves weighs in:

Not much of a weight. E2a if she's as opposed to pressure being put on mps as she says then surely she disagrees with the system of whipping current in the Labour party

It's too much to take

Fuck off, Liz. If people want Tory cunts they will vote for them.

I've seen that post twice now and each time I've searched but found nothing to support the assertion. Don't get me wrong: if proven I'd be sharing it everywhere. 'Stats For Lefties' has been rather short on attribution though. Where and when did she say it and exactly what did she say?

I am disappointed you've searched and searched without finding the link to the article https://archive.li/WOpjQ

What I meant is that there is no statement from Kendall that I've found to support that assertion. That article does not quote her and that is what I'm looking for. A direct quote from her. You've just re-posted what was already posted twice, although this time linking the full article from which the assertion came. If you find more, I'd be glad to read it. Was I not clear enough when I asked "Where and when did she say it and exactly what did she say"?

 

[Serge Forward]

Once Labour might have been tempted to oppose the plans as cruel, allowing the Tories to paint them as being on the side of benefit scroungers. Under Sir Keir Starmer — and particularly his Blairite new shadow work and pensions secretary, Liz Kendall — Labour has taken the opposite view. Kendall’s criticism is that the government is not going far enough.

Kendall is my local MP. What a piece of Tory shit.

An "on the record" interview maybe? Either way, Kendall hasn't refuted it.

Good one!
Starmer think ethics is the name of a county next to London.

 

[Mezzer]

An "on the record" interview maybe? Either way, Kendall hasn't refuted it.

It's a paragraph from a Times article 3 days ago with no attribution. If MPs challenged every statement in the press that they disagreed with they'd have no time for anything else. I'm not defending her, but do need much more information before I accept it as gospel.

She cited the 1942 Beveridge report, the blueprint for the formation of the NHS and social security system, a copy of which sat on the table in her Commons office, as the inspiration for her approach. “Conditionality was part of Beveridge’s original report and that will remain the case with Labour. But Beveridge also says that people need help to get work and to get on with work, and that the state had to use every power that it had to do that. I think it’s this government that has shirked its responsibilities.”

Kendall said she had no regrets about being the only Labour leadership candidate in 2015 to back the acting leader Harriet Harman’s decision not to oppose welfare cuts made by the Conservatives. “I’ve always believed that if you want to show you’re going to do something, you’ve got to show how you’d pay for it. We have to convince people to trust us.”

Even by the standards of MPs Kendall is a loathsome shite

 

[Artaxerxes]

Got to confess this, in the Guardian, made me laugh out loud...

View attachment 400304

Corbyn just left a note at the box saying "how's that feel now bud?"

 

[_Russ_]

Fuck off, Liz. If people want Tory cunts they will vote for them.

They might not be called Tories but which ever of the 2 main parties wins the next election I think we can be assured that it will be headed by right wing Cunts (I know you know this just venting)
The extremes of cuntishness being displayed by the Tories right now does of course allow Labour to be increasingly cuntish whilst still appearing less so in comparison...............the future is bleak (in so many ways)

 

[brogdale]

I'm sure that one day we'll hear Johnson banging on in the Mail about how Keir Starmer and New, New Labour was his "greatest achievement".
