From all of us at the tool makers union.

A very long vid by a scruff, but nevertheless, a fairly comprehensive look at Starmer:

UK Labour Party says 'Good luck England'.

That'll go down well in Wales and Scotland.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

I would have thought you big Corbeebies would have been all over the manifesto by now, ridiculouling it, suggesting tweaks and letting us all know how it shaped up to the dumpsterload of misery that's been brewed herein.

You sure are [Poor language removed] tedious

I know what you mean, as an Englishperson I was incensed when I saw this on Friday:

Oh wait no, I got that wrong. I wasn't incensed. In fact I didn't see it at all, because I don't follow the Twitter accounts of political parties like some sort of obsessed weirdo.

That's just reminded me to pick up a copy of the Oliver Eagleton book on Starmer - which is where I suspect most of the ammo for that video comes from.

I've picked my way through that video and there's some very important qualifications about Starmer's claims to be a progressive. The time spent here on his DPP career (20m-45m) is well worth the listen.

Again, and not for the first time, you miss the point by a country mile. They're selling themselves as a 'UK' party. To support them individually is inconsistent with that.

Hardly think much thought went into it. Just a little sign of support and guessing more people would call them them unpatriotic if they didn't do it.

I'm no supporter of Labour, but to criticise them for that seems almost deranged.

There's plenty more important reasons to condemn them, you're right.

But this issue was put to me, I didn't instigate the exchange.

I thought the anecdote about May saving the young teen from Starmer who was about to send him off to the good ol' USA for a very long stretch was amusing.
