Can you change the title to not reference a racist 4chan meme.
The point is to ask whether or not it matters if there’s little enthusiasm for Labour and to make a historical comparison suggesting that it doesn’t.
Again, what conclusion are we suppose to draw from this? Because the one I draw to is that the political platform doesn't matter, that the reason Miliband and Corbyn failed to unseat the Conservatives is not because of any policy or political failings, but because they weren't against a sufficiently unpopular government.
What's the point of this comparison? Starmer's government isn't going to be like Blair's, Blair inherited a good economy. Is the point that we shouldn't bother with policies because the only way to get elected is for the sitting government to become unpopular?
How dare you! You're right, but how dare you.
The north has fallen on hard time. Well, not hard times but rather um… Well, you get the idea.
God, your profile picture is ominous.
Just go to your local high street.
I like the implication at the start where he implies Reform voters are a bit thick.
Update, Sharon Graham, head of Unite, has released a statment criticising this. Important to note that Labour had met with unions before and promised not to water down worker rights reform any more after u-turning on a number of policies back in September. The main point of criticism is the number of caveats that accompany many of the proposals.
Positivity? In a UK politics community??? What is the world coming to.
I was making my own post about this, but I'll just post what I was going to write here instead of having two posts about the same thing.
Labour deselects left-wing candidates
Two Corbynist have been barred from standing by Labour party, with a third suspected to be also soon be barred.
Lloyd Russell-Moyle, MP for Brighton Kemptown, has had what he described as a 'politically motivated' complaint made about his behaviour eight years ago. He notes that the complaint being made so close to the election that there isn't time for him to clear his name before then.
Meanwhile, Faiza Shaheen, candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green, announced on Newsnight that she had been deselected over a collection posts and likes she made on Twitter. She says one of the tweets brought up is one describing her experiences of Islamophobia within the Labour Party.
One that she apologised directly for is this tweet of a John Steward sketch captioned with "every time you say something even mildly critical of Israel, you're immediately assailed by scores of hysterical people".
Leaked Whatsapp messages have revealed that Poplar and Limehouse MP Apsana Begum has had a complaint made to the NEC about her by her CLP calling for a selection vote, supposedly from friends of her abusive ex-husband.
These announcements come on that back of Starmer allies being parachuted into seats, including director of think tank Labour Together Josh Simons, and NEC member and director of Labour First and We Believe in Israel Luke Akehurst.
