  1. Also from racist non labour voters..etc...
  2. I reckon reform will do a lot better down south where there are definitely a lot of racists. Source southern racists.
  3. Anyway, as I keep saying..there needs to be an intervention...to preserve borders and rebuild Gaza and provide security. This can't carry on like this. Israeli leadership needs to change, as does Palestinian leadership...there needs to be a whole load of compromises that both sides won't like...and then go from there.
  4. yes, but those two sides want to destroy the other. Anyway, this is a signal from US. Previously they have vetoed any UN ceasefire votes...but now they have their own. Soon enough Israel will be isolated...but as NobodyInteresting says the main thing will be arms supplies, because then it starts to become existential for Israel (although they have plenty of their own arms which everyone seems to forget, big export market for them too).
  5. kin'ell...might have to vote tory to counter that.
  6. Maybe, but the fact that this is coming from the US will matter.
  7. Tory candidate for Gtr Manc mayor has defected to Reform.
  8. Thing with labour is a lot of the polling is anti Tory at moment, Starmer is not popular...so unless things visibly improve for a lot of people they could well be replaced by a more right populist party...Tory/reform coalition anyone?
  9. Thatcher wasn't more if the same.
  10. They well might do, and then lose an election.
  11. Did he talk about his ancestors? Owen Jones kind of sums up a lot of the corbynite left...basically still bitter that they had control of Labour and then lost it. Starmer has proven that he is ruthless in pursuit of power, and in that ruthlessness has upset many lefties. In politics though there always have to be compromises, you can't get everything you want. But policy wise, if you squint hard enough, there is policy there. New workers rights. Net zero goals. State owned renewable energy company. National wealth fund for investment. Nationalisation of railways when contracts up for renewal. We all want him to say we will spend more on everything...but then the opposition ask where this money comes from and all of a sudden the wheels start coming off. Or is Jones' main gripe Gaza and that Starmer lbc interview and the whole ceasefire thing? Because yes we all want a ceasefire, everyone wants it to stop...but leaving a party who's influence on this is negligible at the most seems ridiculous to me, especially as Labour's position has moved to calling for a ceasefire as things have deteriorated further.
  12. Rishi's relaunch going well...
  13. Not sure about fiscal rules around debt etc, but they stuck with previous govt tax/spend pledges for a couple of years...but also they inherited a healthier economy, growth etc...
  14. There is a plan, supply side stuff...planning etc, but he and Graham argue it won't lead to something transformational and the rapid growth required. There's some good stuff in there, it isn't neo-liberal or New Labour or Thatcher fgs, workers rights, net zero etc...but overall if she doesn't achieve this rapid growth, and with her sticking with the same fiscal rules as this govt, then we're looking at either spending cuts or higher taxes, or most likely a mix.
  15. old and wise and not steered by the raging mob beyond the walls. We need less democracy. Infact do away with parliament and go back to an absolute monarchy...then we could buy Rwanda or destroy it or something.
  16. Rwanda bill keeps getting voted down in the Lords. What we need to do is get rid of the Commons and keep the Lords. Who's with me?
