Current Affairs The Labour Party

They went after Milliband's Dad with vile hatred, even a hint of antisemitism in its reporting.

A few years later and Labour party was full of antisemitism according to reports.

The printed media will throw Starmer and Labour under the bus when the Election campaign starts.

Yeah, I remember the Miliband stuff in the Daily Heil.



Ironic given the Right's frequent attempts to paint the left as jew hating woker nazis. The incoherent whoppers.

This is the age of the bots and the grifters, it'll become fever pitch around the GE and the race to the presidency. Every toerag out in force pushing for the same old thing, more power in the hands of the wealthy elite. The hangers on, the apologists, the enablers, a pox on them all. Those who's bidding you do wouldn't even answer their door to you.

This is the reason he's tried to engage with them. Many don't like it, I understand why, but that's the place we find ourselves.

Corbyn was absolutely right in his criticism of the press and power in this country but also a bit stupid/naive to say labour were coming for them. Any slim chance of some sensible coverage went out of the window.

Milliband was more neutral and got flayed too. Blair had it relatively easy. But he consciously tried to placate the right wing media.

As I say, it's not a healthy place to be, but it's where we are.

Yes, Blair had it easy because Murdoch backed him. Murdoch's candidate has won every general election for 30 years.

Maybe Murdoch sees a winner? The circulation of his newspapers is tiny compared to the electorate.

A little bit of poison goes an awfully long way...

At the last election when canvassing a lot of people just didn't like Corbyn. I just have just shouted " Bloody shadow Tory " and shook me fist at them.

To be fair, there was quite a bit of this when Corbyn was leader. People who expressed any doubt over Corbyn’s leadership aptitude were called Red Tories.

He’s genuinely the least tory person on this forum.

I find a lot of posts in response to davek to be quite petty and childish.

Just think folk put way too much sway as to the influence he thinks he has. Ceebbees probably has a larger audience than the combined circulation of his pap.

And there's plenty more where that came from

I suspect Dave's perspective would be to invest in public infrastructure and the social good.

Whereas this load of scrotes have managed to up debt, disinvestment in public infrastructure and the public good, but manage to divert a lot into profiteers pockets. Often their mates.

I don't think even he knows what he means.

But to your point, I think Labour will effectively have to rob Peter to pay Paul in trying to achieve any measured success. The money isn't there and raising taxes is unlikely. Too many services are beyond the point now and they'll be little opportunity to invest in the economy once this tsunami of social issues fully materialises. We ain't seen nothing yet.

There's a generation of sheer ugliness awaiting the UK. Labour will struggle to achieve anything - any party would. All whilst those scumbags point fingers and sneer from across the commons.

I dunno. Nearly every politician going goes out their way to kiss his hoop for a reason

They are all in a self important vacuum. Or maybe I am naive, and believe folk, like me, make decisions themselves, not after reading a newspaper.

Call to 'blow up' Jewish conference by former Bristol councillor probed

Former Labour councillor Harriet Bradley has since apologised for the social media post.

I dont really care, but sometimes they/you dont help themselves do they?

Oh man, an emeritus Professor too. Know a few folk who work at UWE, might try and see if they think she's just made a bad error or if it's in character.

Yeah, if you’re not on his side you won’t win.

Milliband came out on a live debate and said he wanted to regulate the press. I could just imagine the scenes in tory HQ when he said that.

A friend at a business school in Paris has been dealing with a similar [Poor language removed] storm after a professor made similar remarks.
