welshbairn Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Labour have stopped even bothering to stand in council by elections around here, which has let the Lib Dems and Tories nick seats that the SNP won on first preference votes. If he walks and talks like a Tory, cutting £20 a week from the poorest, who's going to stand under the Labour banner? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 19 hours ago, Granny Danger said: Said it before. There must be a lot of people in the Labour Party questioning their own judgement in supporting Starmer. There is no indication that support for Labour is going to increase significantly any time soon. The issue is beyond Starmer and whoever else may be the leader. People just no longer identify with Labour as a party. Their traditional base is long gone and they have never built a new one. They should be the party of the self employed, the gig economy folk, the professionals and more. But they're not - they keep obsessing over issues that frankly have no resonance to ordinary people. Labour tie themselves in knots trying not to offend anyone, trying to be on the right side of every Twitter argument, trying to be this and that and ending up being nothing at all. In terms of their bench (I have said this before) their MPs are very talentless. If Starmer got hit by a bus tomorrow, there is nobody people would instantly say is ready to step up to be leader, nobody that wouldn't need Googled first. If Johnson went under the same bus then there are a litany of career-driven cretins who would happily elbow their rivals out of the way to be the new PM, and they have been working already on their public image. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Starmer should be leading the calls for an increase in tax for higher earners as a way to fund social care rather than national Insurance increases. Instead he will dither then be seen as reactive if he does offer an alternative funding solution.
