Suspect Device Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Good to see them getting more bad publicity with stories of Ken Loach to be expelled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It’s probably going to work out for the better if they expel everyone who’s actually did the leg work to make this horrible country a slightly better place to live. I have faith the remaining talent can turn it around with no money and members. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 They are a hollowed out husk of a party now. Members leaving in droves, cash reserves all gone, a parliamentary party that is uninspiring to say the least. The front bench is hopeless, the backbench is even worse. No vision, no charisma (not just Starmer - the whole front bench. Think back to Blair's first cabinet - he had folk with character like Robin Cook who could easily take to a TV studio and do well. Starmer's lot shouldn't even be let out the house). They're down to the inertia vote, folk that vote Labour because they just do and always have. They have come out with a "new deal for working people". I can't be bothered even finding out what is in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe in democracy it should also be very frightening that this increasingly ideologically driven right-wing of government has such a poor opposition. Given the control Westminster has I’m very worried about the democratic deficit, the people of England should probably be even more worried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would genuinely struggle to tell you the last time I heard Starmer speak or read something he had said or done. I have seen Annelise Dodds in some grainy video from her kitchen. Possibly the worst Labour hairdo since Helen Liddell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Thought this might have featured here - Labour came third in a council by-election in Livingston, in what was until very recently solid Labour country. They lost a huge chunk of their share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Just did my postal vote for an Inverness West by election, no Labour candidate. Normally don't vote by party in local elections, but went for SNP because she seemed to be the only candidate actually involved in local issues, setting up cafe meetings for the bereaved, other things for the homeless etc. Voted Green no 2 but left the rest blank as they looked like a bunch of arseholes on the make. If there had been a decent Labour candidate I would have ticked his/hers box somewhere on the list.

Wee-Bey Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The sensible opposition we have all been waiting for. Forensic support for the murder of an alpaca. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Starmer became Labour leader in April 2020. I accept that the pandemic has changed the nature of politics, nonetheless there have been opportunities for Starmer to assert himself and challenge Johnson whose own leadership has been erratic and unconvincing; he has failed to do so. Where are all the anti-Corbynites who were claiming that Jeremy was an electoral liability* and that Starmer would be the new messiah? They have all gone very, very quiet. * Forthe record Corbyn was an electoral liability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
