it is legit funny to 12 months ago be of a world view where a threat from left in form of greens or whatever is not imaginable to, when it manifests, basically suggest doubling down on same world view to fight them off

Labour Third masterclass

hmmm

guess i mean something of comparable scale and complexity

i suspect most blueskyers are pretty sceptical about the plan here and are on a similar page with it ending in disaster (i agree, iraq + libya seem obvious examples). stress testing that argument, is there a historical precedent where something like this *doesn‘t go terribly*? genuinely!

Very clear that for Starmer, 'sectarian voting' is when British Muslims don't vote Labour, and for many others, it is just when British Muslims vote.

probably slightly more personally unpleasant

there are so many of these types. it is to a large extent the problem because it isn’t just unpleasant it’s also thick

just been doing some reading and i don’t think the gorton and denton by-election is like the iranian revolution at all. although i think andy burnham might have won that too, he’s waaaaay better than the ayatollah

the Labour party trying to paint a picture of why you shouldn't vote Green and it's "everyone will take drugs all the time and also engage in fundamentalist Islam"

of course people voted for that, it's Dune. you've invented Dune!

genuine question: can you imagine a plumber running to be a labour mp? maybe it’s happened and i missed it but i defo missed it. not even that radical left a view, i am asking if there is a place in labour for the petit bourgeoisie

the thing is it’s just mad. genuinely nuts

it’s the ravings of a mad man

it’s mad! it’s the ravings of a mad man!

are you not fucking fuming reading this? seriously? the prime minister?

i reckon hannah spencer and george galloway are not that comparable but that’s just me (not completely mental)

people make fun of andy burnham (my preference for being prime minister) but your guy is cutting about saying you came third because everybody who voted green is extreme left or a muslim sectarian (basically - let’s not quibble). they got 41% btw

I genuinely do believe people aren’t angry enough at Labour. particularly people who don’t rate zack polanski. are you not fuming??? your man is cutting about saying hannah spencer is george galloway. that’s your lots analysis??!

difference is I’m right!

but I am right though, no? dumb!

been at work drinks so disregard

I’ll be honestly I’m massively annoyed at the moment because even though I feel incredibly vindicated in my analysis of the labour party’s mistakes I would rather vote labour and I just think they have no fucking clue. asleep at the wheel. stupid. mentally and ideologically spent

I don't think calling the people who voted for the nice woman who thinks working hard should grant you a decent life unhinged extremists is going to work out brilliantly for Labour.

the excuses will keep coming… as will the defeats

completely deluded. you cannot hope to recover without an honest analysis of where you are!

what people are failing to accept is that if the people of gorton and denton had been people who are obsessed with racial crime statistics on Elon Musk’s X instead of the woke, muslims and people who think he’s a bit pathetic and gross, Matt Goodwin would have won

a people let down by its media/political class!

looking at the size of the “progressive” vote, it’ll soon be time for every annoying “fascist rainy island” type to admit most this country is probably pretty sound

I mean, it really is a victory of analysis for the Some Dickhead On The Internet tendency over the PolProf and Columnist class.
