My local very good albeit inexperienced MP. I think she was designed by focus group. - Tooting (her birth place) has a large Asian community, her father is from Pakistan. - Between Tooting and Balham there is a large post war Polish Community, her mother is Polish. - As an inner London MP...

For everyone else the above is the usual ranting response to allegations of left wing antisemitism. Can't possibly believe anyone "left wing" could be guilty such a thing. Yes must absolute kill you in the face of the far right but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened, The correct response (of...

It isn't, but some parts of the hard left are in complete denial because they think antisemitism is only a right wing thing. "Left wing Antisemitism" isn't new (it has roots in the USSR) but has recently re-emerged on the fringes of the Labour Party fused with modern conspiracy theories. If...

It's funny how the media represent people but Keir Starmer is nothing like Blair. He is quite awkward publicly and is the son of a toolmaker and a nurse from Southwark. He also (quite oddly) get misrepresented as a "Blairite". A label seemingly applied to anyone who thinks Corbyn is rubbish...

Jesus, that really is bollocks and revisionism of the worst kind. I hated Blair from the beginning to be honest, but the way they went about getting power will go down as one of the cleverest and most strategic political land grabs in UK election history. It was marketing genius.

For balance: Corbyn originally responded to a Facebook post which questioned it's removal. “Why? You are in good company. Rockerfeller [sic] destroyed Diego Viera’s [sic] mural because it includes a picture of Lenin.” It was only AFTER the post was found that the Labour party released a...

If they own shares yes, if not so no. :lolol:

One side effect of his strong main tactics is the flip side of what Corbyn has experienced with an influx of far left members. Over the last few weeks far right activists / journalists such as Katie Hopkins, Tommy Robinson and most frighteningly of all Paul Golding have all pledged support. If...

Then they should have stopped there in terms of nationalisation. Personally I think nationalising the water companies would be more important. They are a shit show and would be much better run by the state. I'm very nuanced on nationalising the railways. If you nationalise them, the Tories...

Lisa Nandy or Keir Starmer. Dismissed Starmer (because of his wish for a 2nd ref) but I've changed my mind. For some reason Starmer is viewed (probably by many on the left) as a lurch to right and a Blairite but he was only elected in 2015. I quite like the option of somebody 1) More...

Your obsession with "Blairism" conveniently forgets that modernisation of the Labour Party began with Kinnock with the baton being passed to John Smith.

I don't think he is a muppet, but outside of the Labour party he became very unpopular very quickly after the last election. Elections are lost and Corbyn was the problem. I don't think it was all due to his policies either as (I think) the Conservatives somewhat failed outside their core vote...

Under our system completely meaningless to call out actual votes like that for one party. Better to look at the average percentage of the popular vote (since 1997) of a left leaning v centre leaning Labour Party. Centre leaning wins. Peak Corbyn (2017 against a rubbish Tory PM) never matched...
