Current Affairs The Labour Party

Nope, Dave. If that was the aim they’d have said that - read the amendment again, credible evidence of modern slavery in the energy supply chain of any company called Great British Energy.

This is fairly obviously aimed at GBE, preventing it from being an independent energy generator (which is the only way it would ever work at reducing costs). If it passed, GBE couldn’t get financial support off HMG - to do so would require legal checks on everything GBE ever bought, at least for the things in question and conceivably for the things used to make the things in question. These would be ruinously expensive.

It wouldn’t affect the rest of HMG, any other part of the industry (except to mean that GBE couldn’t take them over with public funds) or anyone else. It wouldn’t set a standard either.

Maybe this government want GBE to be blocked? They are on a cuts drive and maybe dont want to use cash to bring to fruition their election promises on an energy company.

It'd be convenient to dump the promise and blame the opposition.

Two things:

1/ Owen Jones is not right when he agrees with that books authors that Starmer is a captive creature of his aides. He is of exactly the same right wing market-worshipping mentality and is their leader. He's not a puppet. Saying he is just hands him some wriggle room.

2/ Jones is completely right when he calls for a red-green alliance and LP members on the left to split from that party. It's the only hope we have left of avoiding a Tory-Reform alliance winning in 2029.

Have you started this yet?

Wheels are in motion.

I promise you this: once the new party is up and running I'll post my membership card for it on here.

In the meantime you can just keep supporting the Red Tories.

There would be much easier ways to do that, and I think the way this is being done (to use the China angle) shows it to be an attack on even the mild, diet-socialist government we have now.

We can probably project what we want onto this opposition and the government reaction to it.

Don`t worry I`ll be making good use of this for many years to come, just like I`ve been making hay, with his post were he stated that he always supported the manager of Everton Football Club, no matter who that may be

Not sure why Dave doesn't just join the Greens ahead of this grand alliance, surely that membership would have an option to just transfer through to the new expanded Party? I even remember those halcyon pre-election days when Dave had plumped for the Greens before Galloway flashed him a bit of illiberal leg.

What is he waiting for, if Labour Rebels & Leftist Independents bolstering the Greens is "The Answer" ?

You voted 'Labour' and the rest of us got the Tories. Thanks.

If you cant tell the difference between the Tories and Labour, then maybe its a good job you dont vote in elections.
