Starmer's vision quest

Did they think they could keep it under wraps? Or did they leak it themselves, in the belief that it's a Red Wall vote winner?

Who knows. It is the unexpected calling of an election that pushed this to the fore, but it sounds like negotiations had been ongoing. It'll be one of Abbott's coterie that leaked it.

Labour have repeatedly demanded that Sunak call an election, knowing he only had until the end of this year at the latest, but when he does it's unexpected? Come off it.

You should tell the Tory MPs. They are all whinging because they weren't expecting it until the Autumn.

What Labour were calling for is neither here nor there.

This is the Starmer thread and we're discussing Diane Abbott.

Sorry, but you don't get to tell me what I can or cannot discuss.

If Tory MPs were surprised by the action of their own leader why on earth would Labour have known.

 

[winjim]

Sorry, but you don't get to tell me what I can discuss.

WTF are you on about? I'm pointing out that in a discussion about Labour candidate selection for a general election, it's relevant to consider what Labour's position has been regarding the timing of said election, and it doesn't matter what Tory MPs think.

Discuss whatever the hell you like, I don't care. It's mostly noise anyway.

 

[multitool]

Don't read and reply then, and dont whinge if you "dont care" , you utter bell

 

[winjim]

Wah, wah, don't tell me what not to read and reply to, wah, wah.

Not a bad take on what's going on at Labour candidate wise.

I liked the "relationship status" line in particular.

From forensic to farcical. Starmer, making the Tories look like trustworthy grown-ups.

Are you f*cking serious?

Not so fast..
Do any of us know where her people are really from?

You think?

I'd wager that most people won't have heard of any of these candidates, bar Abbott, and most won't care anyway.

That falls squarely under the no shoot sherlock category.

It'll be forgotten by the weekend, did you say.
