Current Affairs The Labour Party

How's the fightback going @davek, my old fruity?

It's going on the backbenchers next to the bogs with the reform lot.
Bit like going in the gym in school to play five a side.
All the oddballs get to sit on the climbing bars out of the way.
While the rest get on with it .
Until the goalkeeper starts blamming the ball at them to knock them off for a bit of entertainment.
While they cry from the sidelines that it isn't fair and the teacher is in on it , and you lot had better watch it when they grow up they will batter you .

Turnout was the lowest since 1945 too, from what I've seen.

2001 was less

They`re currently holding a meeting in the phone box at the top of his road, to try and decide who`s going to lead their new party to victory - The Everton Socialist Workers Party.

Unfortunately the two of them have already fallen out, as they can`t agree on whether Roberto " Camelot " Martinez was our best manager or the late great Howard Kendal.

Oh, I fought the new party was going to be called the Popular Humanists United against Corruption, Killing, Winning, Improperness, and Tyranny?

Silly me.

9.6 million people voted for Starmers Party.

Lower than both 2017 and 2019 when Corbyn led the Labour party....much lower in the case of 2017 when 13 million were attracted to the party.

….which shows the brilliance of the campaign. Sure, the rise of the minority parties impacted the numbers of both political parties but Starmer concentrated the Party efforts on winning Conservative held constituencies, not stocking up votes in Labour heartlands.

It’s what was needed to succeed, to be elected. Brilliance. Now he has to deliver.

Good analysis here:

Labour wins big but the UK’s electoral system is creaking

Voters turned away from a deeply unpopular party but the true story of this election is more complex

Ha ha ha.

"Now he has to deliver"...that wont be hard. He''s told everyone there's no money to do anything. So doing nothing is a promise kept.

….we’ll see, it won’t be instant but I’m convinced there’ll be change for the good. Definitely better public service delivery.

What was 2005 percentage ? Thought that was lower.

Said the same myself, brilliant strategy, calculated risk which paid off incredibly well.
Well George Galloway...

….not at all, he’s clearly run a terrific campaign but that will mean nothing if Labour don’t now make a difference. With this majority, if they fail to bring change, Starmer will have failed.

Going to be an interesting few years.

It can't be done overnight, fictitious to think that it can, the said poster knows the state the Country is in and it's finances. There is no magic wand.

The NHS is broken - Streeting. The private sector will be allowed in to take even more chunks of it, perhaps the whole thing.
