I'm not totally convinced that Corbyn isn't somehow responsible.Wait until you see the correlation between rainfall and CSO spills.. Bloody Starmer.
Fair point.I'm not totally convinced that Corbyn isn't somehow responsible.
Macron, Carney and Sanchez were all in the international banking system before they got in to politics. For me, Socialism should be the enemy of globalisation, not in bed with it.Labour's electoral strategy is that people like me will end up voting for them rather than Reform as I've nowhere else to go. Macron get out of jail free card. Problem with that is Labour are too right wing for it to work. Their cuts have gone deeper than Sunak and the partnership with Blackrock would make Thatcher uneasy. I'm no huge fan of Blair but his party were some way left of this lot.
This Labour government isn't even remotely socialism though is it.Macron, Carney and Sanchez were all in the international banking system before they got in to politics. For me, Socialism should be the enemy of globalisation, not in bed with it.
it made no secret of it's close ties to globalisation, so I am not too sure why anyone expected any differently.This Labour government isn't even remotely socialism though is it.
How is that I reply to what I said?it made no secret of it's close ties to globalisation, so I am not too sure why anyone expected any differently.
I personally think, they are better than the last lot, but that isn't really difficult.
The Tories won't get in, Reform might though.

But I didn't, I have been cynical and critical of Starmer for years!?It means, you should never trust someone, who pretends that they are for the workers, low paid, disadvantaged, or pretends to be concerned with social issues, when they really represent investment banks and globalisation.
It'll be the Rories, whatever that looks like. Reform doesn't have the infrastructure to run a GE campaign from the front imo.This is closer to being a reality than a lot of people care to think about. I think areas like mine which are basically working class but for some reason have always returned Tories, are ripe for flipping to reform. As are red wall seats. We'll see razor thin victories all over the place.
Labour have made themselves so fucking unpopular, the left and the right hate them equally. I held my nose and voted for them in 2024 but I can't and won't do that again until he's gone.
