Current Affairs The Labour Party

[Tin-Tin]

Labour going to lose so many votes after this. Not to the tories but people will vote for the greens etc.

When you look back at how covid was handled and the cost of living crisis, you really would think Labour would piss this election. I don’t think it’s as clear cut now the leader and a few others are showing major flaws.

Neither do I but I hope people still vote, even if it is for Lib Dems etc. Any vote thats not cast in protest is a vote for the Tories.

Jesus Christ this is unhinged. Think the propaganda farm might have over stretched a bit here. You have almost literally described the actual current Tories apart from them being “doctorial” which I’m going to guess you meant dictatorial.

Nothing will come close to this government. Every trait you wouldnt want in a person, let alone a government, they have. Lies, deceit, corrupt, racist, homophobic, criminal, callous. Vile group of people.

Im not a fan of Starmer or this labour party but they are a million miles better than this lot we have in

Iraq finished Blair and Brown.

While this won't be as corrosive to Starmer's mess of an organisation, it will have the left in the party...who do the leg work in all elections for Labour...downing tools getting them elected, and the knives are already out for Starmer as it is on that wing of the party.

Starmer is a careerist. First and foremost. Becoming PM is a box ticked. He dosn't have the gumption for politics. He's an interloper to that world and he'll be mauled badly in the end.

Keir Starmer faces growing mutiny from within Labour over Israel-Hamas stance

Council leaders and influential Muslim members among those pressuring leader over his support for Israel to defend itself

Interjected some much needed balance into Israel and Palestine war. Not only recognising the rise in Antisemitism but the very much underreported rise in hate towards Muslims ( Islamphobia) and hate towards the UK Palestinian community since the 07.10.2023.

Eh...

When did he do this...

PMQs...

PMQs...

After 3 years of slinging out of the party anyone who's dared to defend the Palestinians...the road to Damascus is paved with good intentions I suppose...

Starmer's BS response today 'appreciating his Muslim councillors and calling for international law to be respected'....but anyone in the 'Labour' Party going to a demonstration in support of the Gazan's will be expelled from the party and their membership ripped up.

What a 'kin hypocrite he is.

He's petrified of a Blair-Iraq situation developing and trying to scurry away from his statement that gave Israel a free hand to kill 4,000 people and counting in the last 10 days.

the sooner more people scurry away from that position dave the better

In fact if Sunak went on TV tonight to say that he'd been right to support Israel after the attack but does not support the war crimes being openly committed, and will enforce that with diplomatic and economic pressure then I'd be delighted.

The damage is done though. The beast was unleashed and it isn't going back into its cave any time soon.

He lives with that stain on his cv...alongside all his corrupt and draconian decision making as DPP.

Highly unlikely

Highly unlikely

Tonight it probably is, but after one or two more nights like yesterday night it won't be. The IDF blew up a house on the same street as where the mother and father in law of the Scottish FM are staying a day or two ago. What is he going to do if they are killed?

I would see that as a badge of honour

Indeed.

The 'Labour' Party's official stance on this now is that they will not call for a ceasefire to end this as they fully support the right of the Israelis to take further action to "defend themselves". 30 MPs have refused to accept that position and backed the SNPs early day motion to back moves to bring about a ceasefire...I suspect they won't be in the LP for very much longer.
