Trade policy being based on 'a message based on hope'?

What does that even mean? Aspirational aphorisms printed on every shipment?

Sub Lennon bullshit as a substitute for policy.

You don't need an alternative to SEZs - you just don't do them.

So why didnt Jezza just say that?

'They're bad policy because x, y, z....'. Or is detailed argument beyond him?

THE CORBYN THREAD IS RIGHT THERE

Fucking hell this is fucking tedious. It makes the forum shit. Seriously tempted to bin it off.

TWF always dips and goes a bit potty in the summer, Tony probably has the best idea when he just fucks off for a couple of months!

Be alright once the new season kicks in

Unite suspend Rayner's membership, and vote to re-examine their links to the Labour Party

The guardian also published this article 3 days ago.

Flight of the non-doms: how worried should Labour be about the super-rich leaving the UK?

Reports say wealthy elite are leaving over tax changes – prompting a possible rethink by Rachel Reeves – but hard data is tricky to find

www.theguardian.com

And Reeves folding like a house of cards, again. Getting embarrassing now:

Cash Isas: Plans to cut tax-free allowance on hold after backlash

There had been reports in recent weeks that the chancellor was going to cut the £20,000 limit.

I’m no supporter of her proposition but for her own credibility’s sake make up your mind and stick to what you believe in. Same spiral spineless Starmer is getting trapped in too.

I guess that’s what happens when you bend with the wind and don’t actually believe in anything.

Reeves to say cuts to City red tape will bring trickle-down benefits to households

Advocating 'trickle down' economics? The same trickle down economics that has proven over and over and over again to never work, and was previously advocated for by... let me see... Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan?

Fair play Labour Party, you've shown that in spite of everything we might have thought, you can still find new ways to show how incredibly out of touch and stupid you really are. Congrats.

Yep. It's 1985 apparently. We are so fucked.

Once again, absolutely nothing to say.

Once again, absolutely nothing to say.

There is nothing which anyone could say which would change your very entrenched viewpoint. I'd love to hear from you or others on the left something which would genuinely be deliverable and have an impact on the UK - we definitely need something. But there is literally nothing ever apart from whining about other efforts which are not ideologically pure. Post them up - even in the Corbz thread if needed.

At the moment all the UK is facing is (un)managed decline - I've seen nothing from any side of the spectrum which will change this, the various extreme wings of both sides just seem to propose ideas which will accelerate this. Perhaps we just have to accept that the UK has peaked and now its just about how much we can slow the decline

 

[YoungWolf]

laughable.

 

[Tredman]

So no suggestions then.
