You think they've hit rock bottom but then you find there's rock bottom, fifty feet of crap and then North Lanarkshire Labour. It's sad, Labour have some great people but they just keep burying themselves in bollocks like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk seem to have adjusted their expectations to accept that the Tories are filthy asset-stripping shaggers. So long as they can keep being seen to crack down on dirty foreigners, they'll be fine for another term after this, at least. Big Keef will have been replaced by then, surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see him staying on beyond that; he will go willingly or otherwise. Hopefully we will have had a successful IndyRef by then so the machinations of Westminster will be of less importance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a lot of people in the Labour Party questioning their own judgement in supporting Starmer.

welshbairn Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Labour have stopped even bothering to stand in council by elections around here, which has let the Lib Dems and Tories nick seats that the SNP won on first preference votes. If he walks and talks like a Tory, cutting £20 a week from the poorest, who's going to stand under the Labour banner? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a lot of people in the Labour Party questioning their own judgement in supporting Starmer. There is no indication that support for Labour is going to increase significantly any time soon. The issue is beyond Starmer and whoever else may be the leader. People just no longer identify with Labour as a party. Their traditional base is long gone and they have never built a new one. They should be the party of the self employed, the gig economy folk, the professionals and more. But they're not - they keep obsessing over issues that frankly have no resonance to ordinary people. Labour tie themselves in knots trying not to offend anyone, trying to be on the right side of every Twitter argument, trying to be this and that and ending up being nothing at all. In terms of their bench (I have said this before) their MPs are very talentless. If Starmer got hit by a bus tomorrow, there is nobody people would instantly say is ready to step up to be leader, nobody that wouldn't need Googled first. If Johnson went under the same bus then there are a litany of career-driven cretins who would happily elbow their rivals out of the way to be the new PM, and they have been working already on their public image. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
