"It's a very fluid party ranging from Blairism to Corbynism. Managed to secure an enormous majority at the last election so we look set to have them running the country for the next three years. Who knows which way they will swing in that time. Who knows who will be leading them. They could bounce back or they could face virtual annihilation." They are crabs in a bucket pulling eachother down. Too diverse, the blairite part are basically Tories, the corbinista are basically Communist, ed Miliband lot are left of the greens. | |||

What will they do with these freshly built camps once they've done with the immigrants?" There could be an argument for using them (should they actually ever get built) to keep prisoners in jail, instead of releasing them increasingly early due to overcrowding. I’m sure there’s many victims of crime who would be reassured by the fact that 10 years, once again, means 10 years… as opposed to 5 or less nowadays. This is just an option. And one that is probably more likely than rounding up the gay or bi community next  | |||

"Three years until the next election time for Labour to improve and Farage to be seen for the grifter he is, thats if Reform is still around. " There’s an old Spanish saying; “esperanza muere al último”, that is attributed to Jesse de la Cruz. Loosely translated, it means; “hope dies last”.  | |||

"One good thing about the Labour party is that Chocolate Digestives are coming down in price ." Only a gullible and delusional Labourite would believe that nonsense! Chocolate Digestives aren’t cheaper because of the Labour Party - supermarkets themselves set the prices. Some packs are down at Asda and Ocado due to promotions, but biscuit prices are still up 8.4% overall this year! 🫣 | |||

"I don't think so. Rags like the express and mail have been pushing this for a while along with wishful thinking stories about internal coups and problems not to mention leadership challenges as they want a reform government which will be to the benefit to the extremely wealthy owners. Labour despite the frankly disappointing Starmer is still one of main political voices. They just need to communicate better, go back to traditional labour values, stop the centre left/blue labour influence and stop trying to out reform reform." And maybe stop lying and misleading the general public. Their do as I say, not as I do attitude does them no favours. No wonder they have been renamed Liebour | |||

"Labour had a clear plan to attract minority groups like LGBT and Muslims. But those groups don't seem particularly loyal, and easily stray to Greens. The whole political space is fractured. " Muslims use whatever political party they can get into so they can take over and then rule by majority vote due to the unlimited importation of them until they become the majority then they turn said country into the 3rd world shithole they claimed to be fleeing from, They have loyalty to no one but their pedo prophet and their dogshit Quaran | |||

"Is the Labour party a legend on a bog wall?" The true Labour Party is a long lost legend that was finished as a party that represented the working classes after their leader Hugh Gaitskell died. The Benn and Foot wing dragged it into fantasy economics and union militancy, and Wilson, Callaghan, and Healey spent the 1970s proving they couldn’t run the country without begging the IMF for a bailout and trying to keep their Trade Union masters pacified. What we have today is just a degraded, hollowed-out, weakened version of the same lot — 'Blairite' in name, failing to represent the very people they coaxed into voting for them, yet still wedded to the tax-and-spend instincts that wrecked the economy every time they’ve had their hands on it. | |||

Boris Johnson was very fond of tax and spend! I don’t think he was a member of the Labour Party. " A rather misleading statement! Boris didn’t really “tax and spend” out of choice. The massive spending surge happened because of the sudden global Covid pandemic and was totally unavoidable - any government would’ve done the same to stop the economy collapsing. The tax rises were introduced just as temporary fixes for the NHS backlog, again as a direct result of the pandemic! | |||

"Boris used the word "spaff" a lot." As a professional journalist, Boris is an expert wordsmith. His use of words like “spaff” comes from an elite Eton and Oxford subculture that mixes formal vocabulary with crude, schoolboy terms. That distinctive style let him build and stage manage an eccentric, “bumbling” persona and set him apart from conventional politicians. It was a double bluff:- the casual, unvarnished language made him seem disarmingly anti-establishment to some voters, while quietly signaling his privileged background to others. | |||

"Only idiots believe in partisan politics. If you support a party, rather than looking to support individual issues, you deserve what you get. Luckily for me, I haven't believed in democracy for a long time, and I can't stand this shitshow we call society so the end of our so-called civilisation can't come fast enough. " Rooting for collapse is foolhardy at best! People support a political party because real change takes teamwork, not just because they’re loyal for no reason. Big problems like inequality and corporate greed are all tied together. If you want to challenge those in power and build something fairer, you need a united movement, not just random opinions. Saying “screw democracy” is easy if you’re already safe. When things fall apart, it’s poor and vulnerable people who get hit hardest. It’s easy to check out and watch it burn. It’s harder, but more important, to stay involved and organise for a society that works for everyone. | |||
