Current Affairs The Labour Party

[Jebus_lives]

it would go something like this...

“While I completely agree with the Prime Minister, in that both legally and technically Mr Cummings has done nothing wrong, and indeed he may have had a justifiable medical and social need to drive to his parents, nonetheless I have read the article in the Mirror and I believe it’s demand for his summary dismissal may have merit. But of course that is a decision for the Prime Minister...”

Don't ever go into the law

Dragged the party back to within a whisker of power after the Blairites had cratered the party in 2010 and 2015 (and would have won in 2017 if the right wing quislings in Labour hadn't nobbled the party in certain constituencies...the same right wingers now in Starmer's team...that's Starmer who himself decided he'd ignore a democratic vote of the LP membership and launch a coup against Corbyn less than a year before the 2017 election).

P2 L2 mate. You can complain about ref’s decisions and VAR all day, doesn’t change the result.

I knew after 2017, he could never win an election, but I still backed him in 2019.

Starmer will hammer Johnson over the next 4 years.

Hammer an utter buffoon after he's killed (as it stands) 63,000npeople.

That's clever.

You have no idea of politics if you think that the Corbyn led LP campaign of 2017 was anything other than a Herculean effort that dragged the party back from the brink of extinction to the brink of power.

Jesus mate, Corbyn failed to beat the May electoral campaign. She was a national joke in that campaign. A horribly weak Tory party that he didn’t, or couldn’t, take advantage of. If that’s your idea of a Herculean effort, your standards have dropped far too low.

I'd suggest that if you genuinely think that Starmer is right wing that you probably should be looking to the socialist workers or communist parties as your natural home, mate.

No, no, no...FFS, it was only 3 years ago!

May and the Tories started that campaign with a 20 odd per cent poll lead!!!

They buckled when the LP brought out an anti-austerity manifesto that had the electorate's attention...something even that 'kin clown Johnson had to adhere to in 2019 and adopt a set of public sector investment polcies themselves.

Corbyn's legacy will be that he started the massive return to state spending that we see everywhere around us today.

Starmer is a 'kin pygmy - a man without charisma or vision. A neo-Blairite who's well off the pace...but he is "forensic", so that's ok then.

He's another Miliband. A huge void where an ideology should be. A careerist. No more, no less.

We’re never going to agree here. Have a good evening.

But like Miliband, definitely not anything like right wing.

Mr Nearly Nearly.
Still couldn't beat Theresa May in an election.

His legacy will be two failed elections, dull leadership, a failure to adequately address anti-semitism concerns and a failure to have a solid position on Brexit.

He's the David Moyes of Labour leaders. He made some progress, but ultimately fell short.

Left us in a (much) better state than he found us, too

Aye, the biggest GE defeat in a 100 years and riddled with militant tendency and communist entryists.
