Overall, I’m pleased my second spaniel is named after him.

Was your first spaniel named after Hardie?

Wesley. We all know socialism in the UK owes more to Methodism than Marxism Makes for a good combo to yell in the park in deep blue middle England.

Better news for Starmer than any opinion poll

Activist is cancelling his Labour membership and backing candidates with "transformative policies".

I don't particularly disagree with his criticisms, he's unbearable though

"Mr Jones was a strong supporter of Sir Keir's predecessor as Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn."
Well that news side swiped me, I'm flabbergasted

How on earth succesive leaders have let Emily Thornberry represent them on TV is beyond me. She’s incredibly smug and patronising.

Hopefully the electorate don't get complacent and the Shy Tories don't show up

Except when he was pro Owen Smith...

No chance either of those things making much difference. The polling is too far gone.

A Labour MP writing in the Sun kicking the shit out of the NHS?

The bloke has always been a cunt.

 

[pr0sl0]

He was NUS president when I was at uni, and made a name for himself by backing the introduction of tuition fees, even goading students for being angry about it. He had his sights on becoming a right Labour MP even then. Always been an arrogant prick concerned more with his own political career than principle.

Problem with a lot on the Labour right. It's just a job to them - they don't really believe in much other than just wanting to be there.

The Raynor 'tax fiddle' isn't going away and is overshadowing policy announcements. It needs addressing one way or another.

 

[Sniffer]

So easy to resolve too. Raynor writes out a cheque for the disputed sum says that she'll gladfully send it off to the HMRC, should they deem that it is due, or send it to a charity if its not. She can state that she wants to pay all taxes due, had previously been given advice that on this occasion there was nothing to pay, will publish all her tax returns and challenge every Tory MP and journalist at the Daily Heil to do the same.

Yeah I was thinking about that yesterday. Really they need to just grab hold of it and turn it into a Tories vs "ordinary people" narrative, start shouting from the rooftops about the links between donors and government contracts, about elite's tax avoidance, about the non-doms and the personal wealth of Rishi/Hunt etc. It's not going away so they just need to "whatabout" it to death. This rich cunts get away with murder

Tensions within Labour over its policy towards the EU burst to the surface on Monday after the party was forced to deny a report that it planned to re-enter a customs union if it wins the general election.

The paper from the Eurasia Group political consultancy cited unnamed “senior Labour insiders” as saying the party would seek to revive a high-alignment deal, originally brokered by former prime minister Theresa May but rejected by parliament in 2019, in a bid to boost economic growth;
