Sorry jmo, but could you drop referring to the Labour party as "we"? To speak plainly, you simply don't seem to have a socialist bone in your body.
Your type can carry on lionising Blair and his crew, but your defeatist attitude has no place in today's Party.
Me, I'll keep campaigning, keep speaking out against injustice, keep challenging the despairing complacency that abounds in today's society and, above all, fight for the return of power to the people, not the few. We may not win this time round, although that is far from a given, but it won't be for the want of trying.
Let's make June the end of May is such an apposite slogan, don't you think?


Unlike you I didn't rip up my membership card when someone from another faction of my party became leader so I'll refer to the party as 'we' as long as I like. I am still campaigning for Labour and I will vote for Labour and I'm still paying my subs to the party every month, but I'm not going to post on here and pretend this election is going to be anything other than a disaster for the Labour Party and for the country. We are about to see the most right-wing incarnation of the Tory party win in a landslide and we shoulder a fair chunk of the blame for that.

With that attitude, you certainly deserve a fair chunk of the blame. As another user has just posted above, your crew was about as Labour as Tweed's Tammany Hall. Influence for sale, get it while you can.

Theresa May's Head of Communications, Katie Perrior, resigned last week after she announced the snap election.
Again, no mention of this in the MSM (to my knowledge)

Given that three of her advisers have now quit, I for one cannot wait to hear the Shiite she'll spout when she has to make it up herself.

Given that she's going to spend weeks avoiding saying anything it might not be as entertaining as you think

If I was Corbyn I would hit her hard on this at PMQ's because let's face it, if the shoe was on the other foot, she would do the same to him to provide question marks over his leadership of the LP.

That's 3 resigned now, 29 MP's under investigation for electoral fraud and a candidate actively telling people not to vote for him because he's been made to stand.

Ruth Davidson's getting pictured on a mobility vehicle to take the disabled up hills (for £50) while the Tories remove disability cars from the disabled.  In her eyes the rapeclause is SNPbad.  She's campaigning in Scotland on a no to indyref2 ticket, in complete bare faced contradiction to her 2015 campaign and the bullshit rhetoric of the SNP never shutting up about the independence referendum.

Theresa May won't debate, be interviewed or answer questions from, well, anyone as far as I can see.

The only policy from them so far is to get rid of the triple lock on pensions and raise tax and NI.  Again, complete u-turns on the last general election manifesto.

According to May she needs a strong majority in the commons to support Brexit (cough...stifle dissent....cough) - not a single Brexit vote has been lost or has even been threatened.

And yet here we are.  A pissing contest over who would press the button to wipe out millions of people.  That is the thing that makes May a strong, committed leader and the conservatives the only choice for stable government according to our wonderful commentators.

There's a reason why Tory voters have to spend all their time either justifying it, denying it, or hiding it.

It seems clear that the tories have weaknesses all over the place, question is whether labour can take advantage of that or whether the press will be critical and questioning. I don't hold out much hope

There have been quite a few elections like that over the past 2 decades.

One problem with the Labour Party is that it spends a lot of time apologising for who it use to be.
Probably deserved in many cases - especially with regard to the Iraq War.

However, it is difficult to do this without it being seen as a criticism of the people who voted Labour back then.
"Yes.  I am voting Labour.  Voted Labour all my life."
"Oh God, you didn't vote for us when we were New Labour - you fool."
It leaves the loyal voter feeling insulted and confused.

Other parties don't waste so much time washing their laundry in public.

Tories are of course utter scum, but the upcoming electoral kickings for Labour are entirely deserved for their cowardly toadying to the Tories on both sides of the border. f**k them.

 

For the simple fact that Ian Murray was holding up JC 4 PM cupcakes the other day, yet less than 2 months ago he was bemoaning the fact that Jezza was ruining his party, Labour in Scotland deserve the square root of f**k all at the polls in June.  And hilariously, that is precisely what the fuckers will get.
