Former Labour MP selected to fight in next election

 

Former Labour MP Heidi Alexander has been selected to fight the South Swindon constituency at the next general election after the party reselected her.
The seat is currently held by Sir Robert Buckland, the Wales secretary, who is sitting on a majority of 6,625.
Ms Alexander used to be the MP for Lewisham East, but left in 2018 to become London's deputy mayor for transport under Sadiq Khan.
She was the shadow health secretary under Jeremy Corbyn, but returned to the back benches in 2016 after losing confidence in his leadership.
Following her selection by local Labour members, she said: "Being selected as Labour’s Candidate for South Swindon means the world to me - thank you @LabSouthSwindon .
"Am determined to build a winning team here and to make a real difference to my home town."

Mini reshuffle at Labour HQ

 

Over at Labour HQ, there has been a mini reshuffle of Sir Keir Starmer's frontbench taking place today.
Whip Chris Elmore has become the parliamentary lead for the party's chair, and will be replaced as shadow minister for media, data and digital infrastructure by Stephanie Peacock.
Her vacated role of shadow veterans minister will go to Rachel Hopkins, while Kerry McCarthy will become the new shadow climate change minister.
Sir Keir said: "The more time we give the Tories, the more damage they will do.
"We have a plan to reboot our economy, revitalise our public services and re-energise our communities. Only Labour can provide the fresh start the country needs."

A swing of 265 seats would be... impressive. 

[Jairzinho]

Tactical voting would improve on those results as well.

Whilst I understand the logic in following a try to make brexit work policy I wonder will there come a time when he will come out and say what a fucking shit show it really is?

I'm certain he thinks it, he would be stupid to come out and say it because they'll just say he's going to reverse brexit and the next election will be easy pickings for the tories. 

[sir roger]

It's bonkers, the only thing Truss has got right in her life and she has to pretend to apologise for it.

If you are a moron who is happy to take the downsides because we are more British, that's bollocks but honest bollocks, but pretending it is a good deal in the face of all evidence is fucking ridiculous.

Yeah true..but I suppose that depends on how many people still believe it was a good idea.

Yeah, he said it would be shit a million times, so there’s no way he’s now thinking ‘fuck yeah, yay for Brexit’. 

[Gnasher]

Apparently he's in the Spine building, Paddington Sq today 10am today. 

 

[Gnasher]

How inspiring (for shareholders).. So it's carry on pumping shit into our rivers, carry on sky high energy prices and carry on with sky high rail fares. 

 

 

 

Cheers little miss tory lite.

Inspiring stuff

Get the mugs out of the basement

It wasn't policies that cost labour. Shit when they blind tested the public they loved the policies but when they heard it was Labour it was IRA loving corbyn no thanks, Russian cohort corbyn no thanks and then ultimately it was Brexit that gave the tories what they wanted "get brexit done", "brexit means brexit", "oven ready brexit". Most people haven't a fucking clue what's on a manifest they read the headlines in the mail and the sun and thats how they form their opinion. 3 word slogans, smear and the backing of Murdoch and you've captured the hearts and minds of the English.

Starmer is on BBC Radio Merseyside’s Drive show today.

I think Rach and the gang realise that, renationalising energy and rail are popular, she's just being disingenuous. The Labour party now works for bosses/corporates/shareholders. The workers and general public are hardly given a second thought.

[Gnasher]

 

Rachel's got herself trending on twitter, unfortunately for the Labour Party and the country its for all the wrong reasons.

Oh well, shame the Tories weren't in a crisis.

Again, a bullshit question. She isn't leading the Tories, how can anyone properly answer a what if..?

I mean, how do they even get those figures?

Truss will complete the sinking of the economy and Opinium can then ask the same question again. Bonkers.

I bet you're delirious with joy whenever you see a poll showing the Tories doing well against Labour, even when the question asked is as risible as in this one.

Blame the messenger time again. As ive said on another thread I live where we will never entertain a Tory government, they will always be rejected, always have, always will. They will never be welcomed. 

 

 

I'd suggest Labour try to give people a reason to vote for them instead of the tiresome 'we ain't as bad as the tories' mantra.

It's a common theme with you that you don't post good Labour polls and downplay them when others post them, yet you stick up every poll you can find that shows the Tories doing relatively well. Likewise with polling odds, even to the point of making misleading/false claims that I've pulled you up on at least twice recently. So you can stick your 'I'm only the messenger' bollocks up your arse.

 

You don't want a Labour Party led by the current leadership to win an election against the Tories, and you behave like some shitty propagandist on here, as if it makes the slightest bit of difference to anything. You loathe Starmer, the Betrayer, the culler of Corbyn, to the point that you'd rather see a Tory government far to the right of Rachel Reeve's worst nightmares win the next election than a Labour government that had turned away from Corbynism and, most of all, had turned away from Corbyn the man.

 

All that is fucking clear to me by now. At least have it in you to acknowledge that, as amazingly petty and spiteful and immature and contradictory to your stated socialist beliefs as it all is.

Err, if you say so.

[Arniepie]

Personally I'm at the stage where we just need to get the cunts out.

Whether that be a Starmer led lab/Lib coalition he can be judged then.

Another 7 years of this doesn't bear thinking about.

I think I've accepted we will never have a proper left wing government in this country unless something really drastic happenels(like a worldwide pandemic and we end up with one of the worst death rates in Europe)

[Gnasher]

We all know (yawn) we need the cunts out. We can however discuss which way the Labour party is going especially on a day the shadow chancellor ruled out taking our assets back into public control. 

 

Starmer is getting a grilling on the subject in Liverpool as we speak, and rightly so.
