You just have to read the news outside of the Socialist Worker to see Starmer, Rayner and the shadow education secretary have said that the government needs to stop this and use the predicted grades. It's quite easy to Google search this.

Or read the Daily Mail

That's where you get your Brexit propaganda from so I suppose you can peruse it to see if they've got Labour's views on this current fiasco too, yes.

No I'm talking about the labour leader writing an article for them yesterday.

If Labour is going to win the next election, it needs some of the people who read the Mail to vote for it.

The comments section was...interesting.

The comments sections in the Mail do have a to of anti-Johnson/Hancock/Cummings shouts that often have more upvotes than downvotes but one look at a Labour articles comments tells you that they would rather vote for someone they know is destroying the country than vote for Labour. 

[Jairzinho]

Some of the worst rated comments -

 

Quote

More I see of him the more I like. Seems Prime Ministerial.

 

Quote

He's the next British Prime Minister. Bye bye Buffoon Johnson and Priti Useless.

 

Quote

Well said sir Keir, you will be the next prime minister. BoZo and his troupe of clowns are destroying the UK, the evidence is clear to all but trolls.

 

Going to be tough getting people that buy a far right newspaper to vote for a Labour party whilst retaining any support to the left of Mike Pence.

 

Targeting Times readers might be a more realistic aim.

I imagine those comments have more down votes? 

[Strontium]

17% of Mail readers voted for Corbyn in 2017. I imagine Starmer quite reasonably thinks some of the remaining 83% are up for grabs, or at least won't be so scared of him that they vote for his opponent to keep him out.

Yeah, like I said mate. They were a collection of the worst rated posts.

[Section_31]

Starmer's predicament illustrated pretty vividly over the weekend. He was getting a kicking form usual Squarkbox suspects over writing for the mail, and Lawrence Fox types for calling for Bame only mp candidate shortlists.

 

Thankfully though, I don't think twitter is representative of the electorate. At least, I hope not.

That's because they thought he hated the Jews.

Fuck that. If he ever posts another article outside of Socialist Worker, he can be shipped off to the gulag. Fucking haircut having mother fucker. 

[Anubis]

The article is very good on the grades fiasco, but a bit pie in the sky demanding all children return to school without any proposal as to how it might be achieved safely. The truth is, without extra teaching staff and real estate it can't be achieved safely.

I haven’t read the article but that’s something he has been bleating about for months. 

[sir roger]

According to his interview on C4 he is happy to have the support of the S*n which worries me.

I think I'd choose Twitter over the mail

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Fair play to him for reacting like a human to the death of a child.

(Yeah, that's where the bar is set in Westminster these days.)

 

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

He has been pushing the incompetence angle a lot. Trying to go for the tactic of the ‘sleaze’ type approach that Blair used. Might be a bit early for any lasting impact though. 

[Bjornebye]

Sadly some of the replies are extremely depressing. Society is fucked.

Dan still glad Starmer will be the PM though. NUFC fans don't like the wrong sort of immigrants. Rich Saudi Arabians only please....

[Numero Veinticinco]

Newest polling showing Starmer increasing his lead over Johnson, Labour closing the lead the Tories have. Most interesting thing to take from that is that Labour now has a leader more popular than the party. Hopefully that drags the party into more a more electable position. No matter whether you like him or not, Corbyn was once breaking records for how badly he was doing on the front. Hopefully Flock of Seagulls can put Labour into a position to get into a government or a coalition when the time comes. 

[Section_31]

I don't reckon Twitter and newspaper comments are representative tbankfulky, or maybe that's just wishful thinking.

 

I think the Tories and republicans are losing their base though and they're replenishing their ranks with racist simpletons, one has to hope that's not enough to keep winning elections, I genuinely don't think it is, not if you consider the views of most young people these days, they've never been more liberal. 

 

What I hate about these lot above though  is they tend to be shithouses. If you were a Muslim and came up to one with a camera and microphone and said tell me why you hate me they'd deny theyd ever said anything of the sort.
