    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    Indeed as I was pointing out unions are as big a political organisation as any political party they are there to protect their members but also to get whats best (financially) for them and that is what politics is ll about. Someone who is in a union is not apolitical. Further the view that...

    Apolitical, really? you are a member of the RMT ( unions are a non-party political organisation) and you have a picture of Farage as your avatar.

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    If degrees were 2 years rather than 3 it would significantly reduce the debts incurred due to accommodation. However as you say too many people with vested interests. But it would be better if degrees were more targeted on career or industrial requirements. My daughters partner is doing a...

    Around 2005/2006 Iran started supplying the Shia militia with sophisticated explosives which were used to blow armoured cars etc. They also supplied all sorts of heavy weapons to attack coalition forces. This was all done via the QUDS force which he was in control of.

    See Corbyn proved today why he caused Labour to lose. I am not condoning the way the US did things but Qassem Soleimani was responsible for British soldiers deaths (many) and he should have been politically astute to be seen NOT to be arguing anything against his removal. It was time to say...

    Utterly depressing or utterly realistic considering the state of the LP at present? Surely best approach is to get the leadership , go with the majority of MPs to build up power and then impose your views , it does assume though he has strong views to impose.

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    Personally if the left and right wings of the Labour party cannot reconcile then we will end up moving to a one party state, something will have to give. Labour needs to really analyse what the labour voting but non party members want , not the 600k party members who are a drop in the ocean...

    what does working class mean it just does not fit the modern world we are in.

    Probably so that they can stop any more extreme left wing candidates from taking office.

    Looks like every couple of years.... turnout was 12% last time and he got just over half... so people complaining that Boris was elected by 160k a few months ago perhaps need to look inward. He is the power broker for the left. He earns 140k....

    Indeed a dinosaur who needs to be ousted more than Corbyn.

    I thought it was just McCluskey who screwed David Miliband rather than the whole trade union movement. He certainly was main architect of his downfall and with it any hopes of maintaining a competitive Labour Party.

    the most important stat on their is how JC managed to loose 2.6 million votes from 2017 to 2019 the rest is irrelevance because we lost when we should have won.

    sorry but you cannot divorce BREXIT from the rest , BREXIT drives the rest as it will decide our economy and Labour got it spectacularly wrong from the start. The EU has delivered a lot of excellent policy on working conditions which the Labour party should have played on, they didn't they then...

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    perception is all in politics and the image successfully painted by the Tory press and the one people voted for is of a hard left Labour group who are going to steal your money and spend it on wasters leaving the country bankrupt. The image was centred around Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott (the...

    say good bye to at least 50% of the votes then and a future of being a marginal party. We are moving towards a single party state with Brexit and LDs also disintegrating and Scotland & NI going their own way.

    Hope not probably too tainted by her close association with Corbyn.

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    Big question is what will the Labour party membership do and that joker McCluskey. They will continue to push for this far leftist agenda. Why do I say that because it was apparent to most people that Corbyn and co were not popular with the electorate but they continued with them.
