Starmer's vision quest

It's hard to read anything you're writing at this point without thinking about this scene from There Will be Blood...

Unfortunately the only scenes from Coen brothers films I ever remember involve Javier Bardem and a bolt gun.

I admire anybody prepared to go round knocking on doorsteps to get their message across.

Does this actually happen outwith medialand?
I've been eligible to vote in every general election since 1983 and no candidate or canvasser has ever knocked on my door.

I had Labour round this time. Labour majority was 700 so I think they were keen hold the seat. Majority now 7000.

It was probably the bowling alley that confused you.

I suppose when you're high on the fumes of Labour's victory and your own effluent it's easy to get confused.

I'm not sure I've seen There Will Be Blood.

Can't stand Daniel Day Lewis.

Literally everything I said in this thread has been proved correct, despite the ridicule, whether it be denial of Tory attack lines by muted Labour approach, or Labour decimating the SNP in Scotland.

411 seats is not an accident, or a just a factor of Tory unpopularity. It's a measure of how far Labour leadership was able to de-toxify the Labour party in the eyes of the voting public.

Now we will see what Labour governance looks like, uncoupled from the need to appease the left or the right, or the press.

John mcDonnell mentioned that the vast majority of people voted Labour just to get the Tories out.

This is not the time to gloat until we see actual results.

From the person who has literally no thoughts in his head ever.

Gracious as always.

Gracious as always.

I see no reason to be gracious to somebody whose entire post count revolves around personal attacks on me. Do you?

So if we have to wait until we see the results, why are you accepting John McDonnels supposition?

Same here, but, since 1965

What are you talking about? What personal attacks? I have some good debates with you here. We may not agree but there's no personal attacks.
