Current Affairs The Labour Party

[mahermi1]

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

i respectfully disagree with you on that mate, I think Andy Burnham would make a great leader of the Labour party, always liked him.

He gets angry, aggressive and threatening, the moment anyone challenges him or disagrees with him, that`s not a great orator, it`s a bully, who can`t control himself.

Surely that's no way to speak about Davek.

He may well do, but he wouldn't be as 'outspoken' as he is now

If you are too outspoken it tends to blow up in you're face, probably be wise not to be outspoken.

I like Andy Burnham a lot, and that’s based on interactions I have had with him. However I think Greater Manchester Mayor is about his level. I think PM is a step too far. Having said that - is he a better bet than either Starmer or Sunak ? Without a doubt.

She mentioned that in her interview just after finding out. Really sad interview really, but the end when she said something like 'I thought they may be coming for me as a socialist' in conjunction with her demeanour was fairly chilling.

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

If only there was a precedent for such an occasion...

The Labour Party appals me at the moment to be honest. Has done since the labour files came out. I kind of resent having to vote for them

 

[gonetomorrow]

Oh well. Looks like I'm gonna be voting for the racist party then.

For what it's worth I don't believe Starmer is racist anymore than Corbyn is anti-semitic.

Neither do most sane people. Amen to that.

You're probably right but you can't say the Labour Party as a whole doesn't have a race problem

No I think that is wrong with respect, you can not say the whole Labour Party is racist because of the views or supposed views of some of them.

In the grander scheme of ups n downs, though it has been a couple of difficult days for booting out the tories, tonights news has been completely beautiful.

Who will the first politician UK side to go in two footed against the orange danger?
