Current Affairs The Labour Party

[Moomin]

So taxpayers, indirectly, via Underwater Roundabout inc..

One would have thought he'd be quite content with no more squatting like when he was sacked, or with having his own place that his Mrs can't kick him out of for being aggressive to her.

Still a charity case though, albeit one milking everything dry he lays his hands on, although that could be a family trait.

Never mind that though!!!

Scabs.

Leadership challenge within 6 months. Someone like Clive Lewis as a true unity candidate instead of this Blairite scum.

I could get behind Clive, speaks a lot of sense.

I don't think Labour have really grasped that the Tories aren't free market and small state people any more. Instead they're arch social conservatives, which is what won them the red wall seats. We've followed the Americans and need Labour to be more like the Democrats. Instead, Starmer seems to be completely taking for granted that core audience and is pandering to the working-class social conservatives.

Yeah, these leadership challenge rumours are starting to grow. Not surprising.

TBF it’s the fact she kept that action up that was the telling thing.

It would be interesting to know what her legal team were consulting at this point.

I'm expecting much the same from the legal action Corbyn is taking, from my understanding there's substantive evidence already that indicates that an agreement was made and not upheld by the LOTO's office.

The Oldknow ruling really doesn't bode well for the party in its actions against the former leader.

I will vote Labour whenever the time comes, but Starmer's leadership (or lack of) is heartbreaking to see.

I understood the ruling was simply that the 5 people rumoured to have leaked the report should not be named because Labour say they cannot be 100% certain that their identification of them is correct.

If Mrs Ashworth chooses not to appeal the case will go forward with the Labour Party, rather than the 5 individuals, being sued by up to 27 people for leaking the document.

TBF I think the mistake they’ve made is to assume that it’s social conservatism that’s the issue here, in the sense that those people are socially conservative.

They aren’t, but they’ve been exposed for years to a media that seeks to push issues like that, as a wedge to justify people voting against their own (and their classes) interests.

The result is something we all see here and in the real world every day, with otherwise sound people just repeating verbatim what they’ve been told as if these things are their own idea.

Dealing with that is going to be really difficult, but Starmer cannot pretend the media that’s been complicit in this is ever going to give him a free ride. He should stand outside that media, make his position clear on the issues and explain why he has that position; if he’s honest and has better advice than he has now he will be proved right more than not.

Again, I don't fully understand how this could result in anything other than her and her team having to fork out for the action. The report was shared within the PLP and NEC, the legal protocols concerning data safety were upheld - it was a decision by one or more whistleblowers to release the report - not the party itself.

Labour may as well split. The constant fighting between the left and centre acolytes consistently hamstrings the party.

Unison will fork out for it using their members cash.

Nothing will be said about that in the media though because they aren't Unite.

Oldknow and Ashworth are rats who need expelling.
