It's pretty simple, really: the privatised model cannot provide energy to people who need it, therefore it is not fit for purpose.

Or transport. 

 

Old people live on a hill and bus doesn't make enough money? Cut it.

Bus operators run the busy, profitable services and the unprofitable but necessary services - typically, around 20% of services - are paid for by the council. Also, around a third of journeys are made using concessionary travel passes, so public money is used to reimburse the bus operators.  Local councils also provide the infrastructure (bus stops, bus stations, bus lanes, etc.) and a lot of the information.

 

Privatised buses cost the taxpayers a lot!

It's funny that Starmer, rightly in my view, started off trying essentially not to upset the electorate in the hopes the Tories would simply collapse in on themselves.

 

But it feels like the sands are shifting so quickly in terms of cost of living, turds in the sea and all the rest of it that a traditional socialist message is fast becoming more palatable.

Is it not his own constituency members who have the power to deselect him as a candidate? That's how it works, isn't it?

The area delegates run the ballots and there are lots of allegations of ballot rigging, being selective about who is given notice of meetings and turning away valid members on spurious id grounds.

Sounds a bit Trumpian to me. Is there any actual evidence of this?

Personally I think it's more to do with the fact that the coming crises will affect millions of people not just those at the bottom.

It's only because prices are rocketing up,people have suddenly done a road to Damascus type conversion on their opinions on nationalisation.

Deffo. Rich people are the biggest mingebags going, even if they can afford the rising prices they won't want to pay them. 

 

We stayed in a posh hotel a while back and the kids of this middle class couple were moaning for some sweets, so the mum asked housekeeping for some free pillow mints to give them.

The Labour right are seething tonight at the election of a Jewish woman to the Labour NEC. 
 

An interesting development! 

Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi. A Jewish anti-semite according to some. Astounding. 

 

 

 

I think I posted this previously about the weaponistaion of "anti-semitsm"

 

Worth a read for anyone who gives a fuck.

Of course. The election of the Wrong Type of Jew is a massive setback.

Liars lie mate. It’s “why” they’re lying that people need to think about.

Behave your daft little self.

 

"Trumpian" allegations of vote-rigging are made in the face of overwhelming evidence that the vote was fair. That is really not the case here.

Sam Tarry has had to consult lawyers as a string of evidence about misdeeds in his trigger ballot meetings were deemed as not significant to the result after investigation by Evans. Talk about marking your own homework.

I see that Momentum, Corbyn's praetorian guard, wouldn't back her candidature either, apparently due to her stance on trans issues.

 

Never mind Labour as a whole, even within the left-leaning wing of it they're lacking unity on ideological grounds.

 

Monty Python really nailed it 40 years ago with that whole Peoples Front of Judea skit. No wonder we end up with perpetual Tory governments.
