Congratulations. That is now officially the most 'Gnasher' response on the entire forum.

Meanwhile, at the Durham Miners' Gala...

Fucking strange times we're in when a socialist festival has less ethnic diversity than the Tory leadership contest.

Just getting the red wall massive back onside, you do your bit with the farmers and we can fuck these chumps off.

Only 6% of the population in the North East is non-white.

If it were held in London, I imagine the make up of the people attending would have been different and more reflective of the population in the South East.

The Festival is a long held union jolly.

 

Strontz is being contrary for contrary’s sake.

I know it is - I just wasn't sure whether or not he was now implying that socialists are racists.

Big Keith looking distinctly Prime Ministerial in this speech, quite the contrast to the Conservative race to the bottom shitshow.

Listing future technologies and asking ‘some nation has to develop these, why not us?’. I’m a sucker for people looking towards the future, for rhetoric that looks to development rather than ‘everything is bleak’. What people want is opportunity and prosperity. We don’t want to slip back into the class war bullshit if Labourn is going to win.

This is actually pretty good.

 

Coming across really well and sounding sensible, pragmatic, but optimistic and hopeful.

 

It really is a contrast to the liars polluting all of the political airtime currently promising the moon on a stick.

 

People are just over it now and are seeing it for what it is, spivery, pure and simple.

[TD_LFC]

About time we start looking to future technologies we're 6 years overdue for Hoverboards....and 15 Jaws sequels for that matter.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Yep, that was decent again. He obviously has a timetable to unveil things and set out his agenda.

What speech ?

Where can I see it ?

 

Last paragraph, I wish I shared your optimism, the herd still believe the cunts "delivered Brexit and got all the big decisions right", as well as nearly dying.

I agree, but I'm hearing genuine anger pretty much everywhere and it's consistant, I'm not sure they can ride this out.

I mentioned elsewhere that I want Labour to slip up a gear and get into election mode while the cunts are tearing each other apart and Johnson hangs around like a persistent tagnut. Here's hoping this speech is just the start.

I'm worried if the election is a couple of years away if labour say too much now, they give the game away and make it easier for Tories to counter.

As long as they take it slowly with drib-drabs until the manifesto, it's good. The problem Labour have now is that there might well be an early election, so they need to at least appear to be ready for that. That's why this is coming a bit early.

They could do with mobilising their MPs and (even moreso) councillors and activists in winnable constituencies; let it be seen that the Labour Party understands and supports local communities, even when there's no election on.

Indeed. There’s also a real need to focus on the small number of seats that actually are swing areas. I think that’s where his mind is. Doing what really makes a difference to winning the election. Everything else seems secondary. I can’t say I blame him, even if he still takes flak from certain people. It’s about votes right now. That’s what I said I wanted. Pragmatism, timing, keep his head down until the time is right, pick off targets and keep out of trouble. Then a final push into Number 10. It seems to be going well enough so far, I just hope he keeps it on the track during the final stretch.

I saw something the other day that there at 300,000 votes they’re actively chasing as that’s the difference between success and defeat.

Yep, 330k I think is the number they float. It’s mad really.

I know the Tories will (probably unless they appoint someone like Patel) get a new leader bounce but this is pretty dreadful for them. Labour 2019 territory.
