Current Affairs The Labour Party

[orchard]

I stand to be corrected on this, but as far as I know no front bench Labour figure picked up on or condemned the failure of that Tory get Sunak to find cash for the care home sector while he was busy throwing money at infection incubators to entice people to eat their garabage and drink their swill. 17,000 people killed in care homes officially. Loads of handwringing but no cash. And Starmer's Labour have remained quiet on it. Shameful.

They didn't get to see it beforehand, could that be a factor?

Pretty poop like, tax payers funding a big Groupon for cheapo high street joints that ought to be adapting and encouraging people back themselves.

Also, I can't see the 1k as anything other than a hidden subsidy to business either...

Judge what he does, not who he associates with to progress his career.

A DPP who backed up state repression; a LP leader who is currently kow-towing to finance houses and offering support to the Johnson murder gang, and attacking left wingers in the LP.

He's a neo-liberal scumbag.

From where you are stood mate but I get the feeling that you are a couple of shuffles from communism. Over here, near to the moderate centre-ground, he looks just fine.

This was 8 hours after that Tory turd had spoken to the Commons.

How on earth can the neglect of a sector by the Tories be missed by the LP front bench, especially when it was also in the news over Johnson's throwing it under the bus in the last week?

Staggering lack of empathy by a party like labour a party set up to defend the disdvantaged.

This was how Blairism operated: court the financial sector and speak up for the oppressed a distant second.

Annalise Dodds and Wes Streeting should be sacked for they're neglect on that.

But you need investment to drive economic development. You can't exclude anyone if you want progress.

Fast food joints, dodgy multi-million pound contracts to offshore players and subsidising every business that has an employee whilst starting to charge employees for covid tests makes me question what we're progressing towards, frankly.

It is certainly a very unusual time. Back to the point quoted, Starmer will need to engage the private and finance sector if he gets into power.

...maybe Starmer will get up off his 'kin knees and start acting like the leader of the opposition rather than licking the arse of his Tory betters. How he's allowed a Tory Party that's slaughtered 66,000 people to retain a lead like that is an abomination.

Cap in hand gets kick in teeth.

Starmer's personal approval ratings are really good. It'll just take time, or an upcoming election maybe, to translate in to a shift in party polls.

We have four years. It is a marathon.

Starmer is the problem. And if you trail the Tories by 10 points after they've just murdered 66,000 people you really aren't doing a good job.

I think most people just aren't engaging with party politics at the moment and won't do for a long time.

The Tories won a huge majority only very recently and they're entrenched right across the North after what happened under Corbyn.

It is going to take a long time for that to begin to shift.

It's a poll conducted 7 months after the last eection in which utterly disastrous decisions have been made by the ruling party. And no dial has been shifted whatsoever. That's because the LP under Starmer have backed the government in almost every way since this virus hit us.

You cant close down a lead if you offer no alternative. Starmer believes that by not rocking the boat LP voters will turn away from the Tories. They wont.

In that case we are well and truly fecked as a country.

People aren't interested in an alternative right now and won't be until the election is on the horizon.

We had multiple elections over a period of time and 4 years until the next one. Election fatigue is a factor and yes, we are all still getting through a terrible year.

I think the public realise the Tories are in power now for a long time.
