This seemingly decade long back and forth betweenRico and Nelly is epic in its shitness. The one off postings are different, but it's destroying practically all discussion in political threads.

Indeed. Time for me to flounce. 

[Gnasher]

Oh how times change. We are witnessing the destruction of Thatchers flawed privatisation experiment in real time. This winter the calls will only get louder, peoples patience more strained, politicians asked why not?

 

 

 

 

Rob Rinders talked himself into the shareholders naughty list.

There is a huge irony here considering corbyn was utterly derided when he suggested having utilises in the hands of private investors wasn't a great idea.

Feargal knows..

 

 

 

As with Marcus Rashford last summer with meals for children does Britain's focal person to state the bleeding obvious have to be a football player or the lead singer of a 1980s new wave band or can our official opposition also join in and have a go?  Fucking up the environment.

The short mid and long term solutions are obvious and if Labour's top table doesn't start addressing them questions will continue to be asked and suspicions will continue to grow over whether they've also got fingers in the mud pie. No other logical explanation really.

Quite a reasonable ( non-partisan ) article which makes a fair bit of sense.

Trying to avoid the current Gnasher shit show…

 

Was listening to a New Statesmen podcast earlier and they had Matthew McGregor on. 
 

Would he be available (financially and politically suitable) to run the next GE campaign for Labour?

Wales meanwhile is non for profit..

 

Who's experiencing the 'shit show?

I believe meals in the HoCommons and the Lords are subsidised.

Oh yeah, no surprises at all... Socialist Voice tweeting far right hit pieces on Starmer. Horseshoe theory in action.

I think you'll find a few other voices expressed criticism of Labour abstention and as it was a Lib Dem proposal I'd imagine your old mates weren't best pleased, or are they also lefty extremists now?

 

Anyway nice to see you've  joined the shoot the messenger club.

So quote them instead of "Politicalite".

Ouch!.... I'm getting in first on this one..I blame the woman reading the news and the person who posted the clip on twitter.

Why? It was a Lib Dem bill to provide free meals for poor children. Why the hell would they want to see it fail?

So the first link, nothing to do with Labour and the second is someone saying something that Labour can do nothing about.

 

I mean the party asked for the energy price rise to be frozen nearly 2 weeks ago and the Tories haven't done anything about it. It's like Labour can't actually do anything as they are in opposition apart from shake their fists and tweet something. That's really going to help people isn't it.

[Section_31]

Labour are doing what they should be doing right now, allowing the Tories to destroy themselves. What's the point in giving them a rallying cry or a common enemy? Nothing labour comes up with can be enacted anyway.

The link on children going hungry has everything to do with Labour. Labour abstained on a vote that could have provided that food.

 

Labour Lords (who receive food subsidies) not voting for meals for the poorest children in Britian was fucking appalling and they should be ashamed of themselves.

 

The second link on bbc news today is Sharon Graham giving her veiws on the widespread industrial action and the Labour Party's reaction to it. As Graham is leader of Britain's biggest union, a union that donates huge amounts of money to the Labour party it'd be very strange if she didn't offer her opinion.
