Rachel Reeves is clearly an absolute nut. she has strong mid 20th century headmistress energy. you can bet your damn house her kids don't leave the table until they've eaten every last miserable green bean.

Angela meanwhile... :D

whoever did the CINEMATOGRAPHY for that clip deserves a Bafta to be honest.
 
How has Keith fucked up so badly? The Scottish Labour leader (and increasingly likely future first minister), the mayors of Manchester and London, and a fair chunk of shadow ministers are all calling for a ceasefire (which is surely an absolute no-brainer of a position to take) and he still refuses to.

What the fuck was the calculation he was making, and why hasn't he backtracked yet?
 
Because he's playing to the papers instead of the people. He thinks that the way to power is to indulge the nasty prejudices of 4 or 5 horrible billionaires who will absolutely smear him with any shit they can anyway, as soon as the election is called.
 
Starmer is such a joke. I do love to see him being heckled Game of Thrones style though.



 
They won't, but it would be iconic if the whole shadow cabinet voted for it after this.
 
Yeah this evening sometime... there's a rally at Westminster at 5pm to demand MPs vote for it
 
Why is it that in a time of unprecedented weaknesses and chaos in the Conservative Party, can we not have a strong opposition to exploit it? Why do they have to always FUCK THINGS UP?
 
Fucking hell. I’ve been a semi-defender of this dragging the party back to the centre despite it going against my own beliefs, but it really is becoming increasingly difficult to get behind Labour in 2023.

Well, behind Keir, anyway.
 
The paragraph in question:

‘Every moment of meaningful change in modern British politics begins with the realisation that politics must act in service of the British people, rather than dictating to them. Margaret Thatcher sought to drag Britain out of its stupor by setting loose our natural entrepreneurialism. Tony Blair reimagined a stale, outdated Labour Party into one that could seize the optimism of the late 90s. A century ago, Clement Attlee wrote that Labour must be a party of duty and patriotism, not abstract theory. To build a “New Jerusalem” meant first casting off the mind-forged manacles. That lesson is as true today as it was then.’

It's hardly high praise. I've struggled with Keir as well and he's said a lot of annoying shit. But I do understand you can only win from the centre, which is now somewhere right of Mussolini. Holding my nose allowing Keir in, but I'll be happy to see a Labour government.
 
To be fair, it isn’t high praise. I fell for teading the tweet and not the article.

I still don’t like to see it happen though.
 
Yeah The Guardian have click-baited the fuck out of that one
 
The Guardian are the fucking worst. At least with the right wing press, you know where you stand.
