Brother Blades Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I think the question in thread title has been answered comprehensively. None, no point whatsoever, they are a fucking sham & if you’re inclined to vote Labour at the moment, just go the full hog & vote Tory. I’m getting close to the point where they are approaching hatred levels I have for conservatives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two sides of the same coin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I see Sam Tarry doing his reselection bid for his seat no harm at all. Joining Corbyn today on the picket line and attacking Starmer on TV. Attaboy, you fucking muppet. Nobody can ever remember a word he said about the Tories, but he got his dim, uncomprehending face on the TV harming Labour's chances. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 It really is a tremendous effort to be totally unelectable despite facing one of the most useless and corrupt governments in history. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m getting close to the point where they are approaching hatred levels I have for conservatives. They decided some time ago that their only way into power is to be surrogate Tories and wait for the real thing to become so disgustingly entitled and grotesque that even Conservative voters struggle to vote for them. I agree with scottsdad to an extent, in that they may well be slightly less right-wing in power than they appear to be in opposition, but they've set themselves up to be unacceptable to both their voter base and temporary Conservative voters, both of which will find them unappealing for different reasons. Acting as a placeholder for the Conservatives while they sort themselves out serves nobody but the seat warmers in the cabinet office. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think abolition of the HoL would be very popular as would significant reform of the place. If Johnson creates a whole bunch of new peers as is being suggested then that would offer a good reason for change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Just while we're on the subject of the HoL; I think I saw what is surely the most idiotic piece of self-owning irony I have seen anywhere the other day, when I saw someone stating something to the effect that they wished the Tories would give JK Rowling a peerage because 'it would be nice to have someone who believes in equality' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have resigned his position then joined the picket. Chose not to. Could have followed the party leaders instructions. Chose not to. Could have followed the party line supporting a negotiated settlement. Chose not to and went off script (whilst being the party's official transport spokesman) He chose the only action that would result in his sacking. Then was all over the press slagging his own party. Happy to damage Starmer and Labour just to save his own job. Happy for more tory government to save his job. This reelection means more to him than anything. But aye, Starmer is the baddie here.

I was an active member of the Labour Party for 20 years and had to listen to this shite ‘don’t rock the boat’ argument from people within and outwith the party. It culminated in a Labour Prime Minister taking us into an illegal war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Truth of the matter is that Starmer is absolutely shit scared of being attacked and villified by the right wing press/media., which would undoubtedly happen if he ever set foot anywhere near any picket line, or even expressed support for anyone contemplating strike action. Fortunately wee Lizzie, frae the West School, Paisley, will soon have everything resolved with her plans to make strikes illegal. She's really on the ball, why has no one else thought of this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
