  1. Reeves was critical of new Labour in her rather surreal speech the other night. I doubt very she's going to give the country a budget such as this below, the saddest thing is she has no desire to.
  2. I'd have Miliband or Brown in a heartbeat. Gutted Brown didn't call an election in that Autumn when he was ahead in the polls. As for Labour no ones expecting Leon Trotsky but it shouldn't be unreasonable to expect an incoming Labour government to be a couple of steps to the left of Margaret Thatcher.
  3. He was fucking spot on in that world cup that Octopus. He wouldn't be allowed now, see what happened to Greta Thunberg.
  4. Well odds compilers give a fairly accurate guide of the outcome of any given competition. Getting the odds right is their job, otherwise they'll get taken to the cleaners. But for your peace of mind i've also read the tea leafs, https://www.allure.com/story/how-to-read-tea-leaves-tasseography And..the results were....drum roll.. a resounding Labour win. They leaves also said Mugface win gold medal in the pompous twat Olympics. So i've put a tenner on the double.
  5. A soft lead? Where have we seen a 25 point lead vanish in election year?
  6. That's step one. Its whats the step two I'm a bit concerned with.
  7. So where are we to now on this thread? Owen Jones, annoying little leftie Bad. Rachel Reeves, Thatcherism. Good.
  8. I remember that time. I was in on Martin O'Neil. Shoot me now.
  9. ^ surrup you daft cunt. https://www.oddschecker.com/politics/british-politics
  10. We not expectingTrotsky but any chance an incoming Labour government could be a little bit to the left of Margaret Thatcher's government after 79?
  11. What did you think of Rachel Reeves speech? You've made loads of posts attacking people discussing it but as far as I can you have not made an opinion of your own. Do you agree Thatcher brought in a national period of renewal? Honest questio?
  12. Some Labour front benchers are now similar to that fella in the audience.
  13. After 14 years of tory rule it may well have turned that way. All popular opinion suggests the public are to the left of the two main parties.
  14. He was the unity candidate. Many hoped he'd follow the Biden template. Unfortunately he did on foreign affairs (which is terrible) and has junked his domestic policies (which seem good).. Ah well. I
  15. I thought Corbs was a bit selfish not to hand over the reigns about 6 months before the last election when it was obvious the game was up. Its wrong that he's not allowed to serve his constituency from the back benches though.
  16. Top research M.B. If he was called the Reverend Al Green I'd have moved to Islington just to vote for him.
  17. Yeah true. Center would have to do then. Sorry but not sure about the soup Reeves was trying to serve the other night though.
  18. Its not just the twitter mob who are concerned with the direction of travel within the Labour Party. A lot of good people not only from the left but from ethnic minorities who have campaigned against injustice all their lives who are not feeling welcome anymore within the Labour movement. To dismiss the likes of Asian heart surgeons and black civil rights advocates is a dangerous game going forward. These people have done/are doing huge amounts of good on our streets and in our hospitals. They deserve to be listened to. You think it wise to piss people like the below off. https://esc365.escardio.org/person/83045 Labours plans for government might at this moment be inconsequential to some but others have the right to ask questions if they see fit.
  19. Possible crossover before election between established age old right wing party and new completely bonkers very far right party.
  20. These are excellent. I still can't get my head around them calling a member of the cabinet "the minister of common sense"
  21. You may have put your views on Labour's direction "away in a drawer" but others might want to discuss it as they find it important, especially after a major speech like the one Reeves delivered the other night.
  22. Hopefully. I've voted Labour all my life, my whole family have voted Labour all their lives. I'd love nothing more than the end or the Tories and a progressive center left Labour government. What I definitely do not want is anything the slightest teeny bit similar to the Thatcher era. It was not as Reeves said in her speech an era of renewal. It was an era of mass poverty and destitution. The only thing good to happen from that era was it gave birth to some brilliant UK culture that rose up against it.
  23. I think it'd take something such a major war to save them now. They are all over the place. A change of leader might help a bit as Sunak is not cutting it at all but I think think the country is done with them. Hopefully for good. The country imo wants a center left government which is fairer to those on the bottom/middle and will not let our public services decay. So for me it's frustrating that Starmers Labour seem reluctant to offer it. Every speech/announcement seems to move the party to the right.
  24. Back on the subject of Starmer (after learning I'd have aided Hitler in World War 2) this has not aged well. As Israel is in the Hague for committing war crimes shouldn't the Labour freinds of Israel organisation be disbanded?
