Current Affairs The Labour Party

He gets angry, aggressive and threatening, the moment anyone challenges him or disagrees with him, that`s not a great orator.

He also benefits - as anyone would - from the absurd state of modern politics. If you aren’t part of it then poking holes in it is easy, millions of people do it daily.

 

[Ming the merciless]

For now, yes. I think once there's a centre-Left Labour government in place with a solid majority, and the Tories are busying themselves trying mine the Reform votes under Braverman, the Lib Dems might look to be the "Sensible Right" option to hoover up disaffected natural Tories who can't bring themselves to vote for "Socialist" Starmer. Getting enough seats to return to 3rd over the SNP will give them a little more legitimacy for it too, so a lot depends on just how the election ends up going North of the Wall.

But at the moment they're putting their resources squarely into the seats where they're already 2nd and pretty much giving Labour a clear run in the national conversation.

I think by them it’ll be pretty clear to everyone that the “ Socialist “ Starmer never existed.

That's us mate. Splitters!

Bingo! lol lol lol

Aye, Judean Peoples Front, him.

To a lot of dyed in the wool Tory voters/members the current Labour leader is always a dangerous socialist, no deeper thinking comes into it.

I’ve seen Labour stitch-ups in my time. But nothing as shameless as this | Chris Mullin

If MPs are scared of voicing an alternative view, then debate within the party will dry up – and a Starmer government will suffer, says former MP Chris Mullin

Starmer and Sunak are just two sides of the same corporate cronyism coin.

Mad how anyone would vote for either of them.

Starmer will be hated by the country soon enough - as much as he's hated by his own party's rank and file.

 

[davek]

No Labour MP can trust the current party unless they're completely plastic and unprincipled. Wouldn't be surprised if a few just stood as independents.

You'll see that party hollowed out once it wins power and carries out it's privatisation and austerity policies.

Secret stealthy rascals.

Excuse me mate what are you doing in the Conservative thread...oh wait a minute.

That's kind of the thing with people like that isn't it. He can kind of say whatever he wants as he is pretty irrelevant but people see it as he 'dares to say it', because what he says actually makes very little difference

I feel the same to an extent with Andy Burnham. People think he is refreshing and dares to 'say it how it is', but he is just the mayor of Manchester. He'd be much more robotic if he was further along in politics

Why are Labour sending her to Rwanda against her will Pete ?

Why do we associate being a good orator with being a good prime minister?

I don't want a great orator.

The officers of the Starmer Party are racist, for sure. The Forde Report spelled that out in great detail.

It's anti-black and anti-Muslim and misogynistic.

In particular, the Forde Report found there to be widespread Afrophobia and anti-Black racism in the bureaucracy of the party, where a racist culture exists.

The Party leadership had to issue this statement in the wake of its publication back in 2020...

NEC Statement on the Forde Report​

The Labour Party apologises for the culture and attitudes expressed by senior staff in the leaked report, as well as for the way in which those comments came to light.

The report is clear that the culture of factionalism led to a situation where allegations of racism and harassment weren’t being addressed.

Elected representatives, our members, and the public rightly expect better from a progressive left-wing party.

The Labour Party is committed to ensuring that such a situation will not arise again and that any racist and discriminatory attitudes will be tackled immediately, wherever they arise, in whatever section of the party.



However, 3 years later the Starmer gang were accused by the report's author, Martin Forde KC, of not implementing anti-racist corrections recommended by the Forde Report. He accused the party leadership of still "not fully engaging with claims of anti-black racism and Islamophobia, and they were not taken as seriously as antisemitism".

Labour accused of still not engaging with ‘hierarchy of racism’ claims

Author of report into party’s culture voices concern antisemitism is taken more seriously than other forms of racism

Make no bones about it: Starmer's Red Labour is institutionally racist...as the last 24 hours or so has confirmed yet again.

It's time for a new progressive and anti-racist party of the left to be founded, committed to social democracy and the values that launched the original Labour Party. The rancid cess pitt of a party captured by the Starmer-Mandelson gang will move continuously to the right to take up the vacuum of the routed Tory Party.

Indeed there will be 'change', but not of the variety espoused by Starmer and the rest of the scum he runs with.
