Starmer's vision quest

[CXRAndy]

Labour were never destined to govern. It was so bad at the last election, that a whole section of population didn't vote for tories, but also didn't vote for Labour either. Labour won by being the best of the worst that was left.

They have demonstrated why they aren't able to govern since.

This is almost sensible. Labour aren't fit. Tories weren't fit. What's the solution, be governed by the recycled Tories now in Reform?

I quite like the Polly MacKenzie analogy

The parties can't keeping 'swiping right' looking for a PM they like.

But, I think you need to make Farage PM and get out of your systems

I'm fine with that. He will raise borrowing, cut taxes and cut spending.
I'll pay less tax for a while before everyone realises the NHS is even worse and the roads are worse than in the Donbas, and then we can elect someone else to take the blame for the mess he made. But I'll have paid less tax.

Everyone okay with that as a 5 year plan?

This is the kind of political writing I like. Ian Dunt again, with the swear filter off.

Digital ID was in the manifesto. Instead of saying "well this is what you voted for", he collapsed and did a u-turn.

Was it?

Swearing doesn't disguise copium

It can't be the king, it must be his advisors
Yes. That's it. His advisors

 

[briantrumpet]

I rather hope that Starmer is listening to Gordon Brown rather than McSweeney this morning.

 

[icowden]

Was it?

Yes.

 

[Shortfall]

Yes.

A quick Google suggests not. Can you link to the relevant part of the document?

I think that’s a bit harsh.

We know Mandelson was only picked because of Trump. There is no other explanation.

So to say there was no justification for his selection is wrong. The justification was the hope that they could keep Trump happy.

Without Trump in office none of this would have happened.

Starmer has had a crap hand of cards, but has played them badly to.

They probably thought Mandelson is one step removed from the young girls so is reasonable protected. No one knew about the latest stuff spying stuff. Hindsight is wonderful

The flaw in that 5 year plan is that his headline policy is to pull the UK out of the ECHR, and therefore remove our entitlement to free & fair elections.

Oops.

Good morning.
As you can see, the whole silly business of Peter Mandelson is over. It's dealt with. I want to be quite clear about that. And I'm being quite clear now when I say I was deceived and horrified. Shocked and appalled. Overwhelmed and betrayed. Scripted and edited. O - apologies, that last bit got left in.
As I was saying, Morgan McSweeney is a fine and loyal British patriotic patriot. And we're getting on with the job. While you out there are letting your imaginations run riot, we're running. Yes we are. Yes we can. I've been to China.
What's the alternative? Reform with their words of division. Multiplication, subtraction and addition. They're important too. You know where I'll be straight after this press conference? On the stump. Out there. Listening to the people in my constituency. The people of Britain. I'm proud to be British. It's what I came into politics for.
No questions.

Currently there is no alternative
