The ultimate flag shagger (obvs other things as well). Oh, twitter has narrowed the short list down then. The only thing I know about him is some media round he did saying Johnson hadn't robbed a bank so therefore everything is fine and we should all shut up.

I missed the original story on the post it notes. It was referenced again later. If it was JRM leaving them they would have probably been pen & quill written on parchment.

A tory candidate* has switched to Labour. We’ve had this discussion before about the MP who switched. There is a big difference between attracting those who voted tory but have basically little understanding of politics, and somebody who has studied politics and is deeply enough embedded in it to be a tory candidate, and presumably holds convictions that are antithetical to those that the Labour party was founded to represent.. But you know that. Lot of self denial amongst the soft left. Selling themselves out bit by bit in the name of ’winning’ and not even managing that. Sad. + that the goodwill afforded to those on the rightward margin of the ’big tent’ is not afforded to those on the leftward margin, which draws ever nearer the centre, tells you a lot about what the goals of those in charge actually are - ie not really forming a winning coalition but instead just shifting the Labour party to the right. Because they are as motivated by ideology, and not winning, as the previous regime. Just that now the ideology is centre right rather than left. Double sad.

Selling themselves out bit by bit in the name of ’winning’ and not even managing that Politics isn’t a two sided coin. Only very few are one side or the other. The reason it’s called the political spectrum is because of the hugely wide range of views people have. If you only focus on a minority at one end of the spectrum then you’re likely to alienate many of those who don’t have the same intense attitude towards those views. The vast majority of the voting population aren’t biased towards one particular political leaning. Labour know they’re not going to please everyone with their ideology. They need to please as many as possible. Stick with them though, the alternative is eternal Tory rule and the crap we’re dealing with now will only get worse the longer they stay in power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
