more indications labour will be as scummy as the tories when they get into power

Without wanting to speak for dave, I think the history of the UK pretty clearly shows that the best way to improve people’s lot in that respect is to ensure they have access to easily affordable and decent housing (that they have some sort of investment in maintaining), access to quality healthcare and decent education (with the latter ensuring that all kids have access to education relevant to their abilities).

Give them that and, even with low wages, people will tend to better themselves.

It's pretty obvious (or at least it should be to people) that basic needs have to be met to allow people to start "bettering themselves".

See Maslow's hierarchy of needs...



How can anyone expect people to develop when they don't have the basics like food, water and a roof over their heads?

That'll take some doing. If they rocked up to Westminster in SS uniforms, they might be halfway there to how scummy the tories are.

Doesn't surprise me.

Those poor people are being wiped out by a fascist state and the Starmer-Mandelson Party are determined to use the issue to withchunt the left of their own party even more. This is a vehicle for 'disciplinary' action against the left, nothing more and nothing less.

The left inside 'Labour' should get out and form a new socialist party.

Whatever your feelings regarding the current Labour Party.

You, WE, can not allow these people in again.

Do it for this poor Mother.

Your fundamental error here is that Starmer's Party is nothing to do with Labour. It is a successful attempt to infiltrate and gain control over a social democratic party like Labour used to be then use it to successfully snatch the ground the Lib Dems fight on (as witnessed by hand wringers like @Bruce Wayne falling for their BS), and then, secondly, to park their tanks on the Tory's lawn...which is what they're in the process of doing now.

There is no Labour Party anymore.

I don't care.

I would vote for Hitler if the choice was him or The Tories.

So Brown was surprisingly entertaining. He's written a book with a couple of economists, and while their diagnosis of the problem seems spot on, their solutions do seem to involve new (or reformed) global institutions. I do wonder how likely that is when nationalism is on the rise, due in large part to the declining trust in democracy itself. Not that I disagree with the suggestion, but you've got a bunch of nations who don't really care about those things, and a seeming declining interest in them among those who should. Seems to be putting the cart before the horse a bit. It's also moderately worrying that he wrote a previous book on "how to fix the world" a couple of years ago. I do hope he's not developing a bit of a god complex.

Amazon product ASIN 1398525618 is the book.

‘developing’……

Seeing Gordon Brown speak tomorrow night. Is he real Labour or a Blairite charlatan? I need the Dave seal of approval so I know whether to boo or cheer.

Boo him until he runs away crying, then Cheer……

You're a sad, pathetic man Dave.

Why...

Are you denying you vote(d) Lib Dems.

Stand by your politics.

Looks like these Tory-max scumbags will take Rutherglen and Hamilton West from the SNP.

Cue all the talk of the SNP being finished and in meltdown and 'Labour' being back in Scotland.....only for them to take all the Scottish seats in a proper election.

Again.

He works hand in glove with MI6. Anyone expecting him to be progressive in any way need to give their heads a wobble.

He's a Tory-Unionist, pure and simple.

How anyone is thinking of propping up a 'kin scumbag like him is beyond me.
