Twenty years time is 2041. Yes, we really are now that far into the future.

Good point. happy to takes questions from people ten or twenty years into the future. Or more importantly, leave questions to be asked.

What is this about? Left bashing the left again i presume!

The right bashing anyone left of Kinnock mainly.

While the actual right keep winning elections, and fucking over anyone who isn’t minted.

“But Iraq!”

Starmer is the 'actual right' he is tirelessly authoritarian, pro-capital and anti-worker. The tories don't even bother attacking Labour any more because they've got Starmer in post to do it for them.

 

[kabbes]

Well quite. I don’t understand what definition you can have of “right wing” that includes the Tories but excludes Starmer. What is it that he is advocating that is left wing? What right wing proposals is he arguing against? He’s not automatically left wing just because he’s the leader of the Labour party

Yes, that's what happened to Labour in the 2017 and 2019 elections, people kept on trying to sabotage the leadership's efforts because they were so pissed off about Jeremy Corbyn's support for the Iraq war.

 

[hitmouse]

"But Iraq" is such a weird thing to imagine your opponents saying, like the only time I can think of people saying "but Iraq" would be in response to the centrist dads genuflecting before Blair or Campbell's wisdom. And in that instance, I don't think it's the people saying "but Iraq" who are stuck in the past.

Do you think Starmer's days were numbered after not attending Corbyn's funeral?

 

[Serene]

Starmer is supposed to be telling us when something is Boll***s.

Obviously it's really an attack on the left/youth wing of the party which makes it a bit dog bites man story but it shows just how acceptable anti-trans agendas are that they can consider using this as the method of attack.

Nah Starmer's done the whole genderist thing, he's onside, hence the "mistake" of making this a basis to attack Jess Bernard. I mean I'm sure he'll do a U turn as soon as he susses out that genderism is a vote-killer but for now he's definitely avoiding the whole bogus "transphobia" tag. That's to look forward to.
