Inevitably some group will proclaim Starmer is exhibiting cultural appropriation which offends someone or other,....

He was walking around Scotland today connecting with young people - so he didn't wear a jacket and tie, just the rest of the suit. He's cool, he's down with the kids. I think his second main slogan was let's fight climate change together. The first was entirely forgettable. Something about strong values or something. He must think he's in the Green Party. Someone tell him what Labour is please. He reminds me of a flustered local Councillor who wants bins put in the Matalan car park.

It’s like he’s a secret Tory agent. Maybe he is.

He is appropriating the look of a garden gnome. It's unacceptable.

Nah that was Agent Corbyn who did a great job for the Tories.

I still foresee a Labour split, there is no common ground for Starmer factions and Corbynista factions except the desire to hang on to taxpayer funded head in trough job, which is a powerful incentive.


Looking forward to the Rayner-Butler attacks on Starmer at the conference, could be farcical theatre

The problem for the Left is that due to our FPTP system, then any split leaves to chasing its tail. If we had PR, Labour have split ages ago. But as it is, Labour still represents the only genuine chance of electoral success for the Left in this country.

Lets not forget that a Corbyn led Labour party back in 2017 pulled in 40% of the vote. And I am convinced that if Labour had not embarked on its suicidal second Brexit referendum policy, Corbyn could well be PM now.

Ignore the likes of Dawn Butler. Not even a second rate politician. Beyond poor. Rayner is a different kettle of fish and has the crucial TU backing but the truth is that despite the grumblings from the Labour left, they will fall into line.

Something odd is going on. Blair has been making very orchestrated moves in the media which does seem to indicated that he might be looking to make a move back into the political arena.

Also, Starmer's new Chief of Staff, due to take up his role in September, is linked back to the old Blair/Brown regime. Always a crucial role and an appointment that speaks volumes about the direction a leader is intent on following.

I find it very odd war criminal BLair and his Goebbels Alastair Campbell get so much air time.

Absolutely no mea culpa for taking the UK into an illegal war with sexed up documents presented to Parliament for a vote

Blair is on gravy train Europe/UN - he won't be interested in Commons politics, except to get the odd dig in. Not enough money in it.

It's just 50 individuals. Why is it a racist tactic/dragnet when the loss of just 50 black people in the UK makes absolutely no difference to the demographic?

People who are literally too stupid to apply for citizenship and then commit violent crimes. Then they cry racist. I cry fock off.

With people like Blair, it's not about money. His Mrs is rather fond of a £ note but with him, its about the power. Blair has more money than he could ever spend and he had never struck me as the type to swan about in ludicrous cars and so on.

Oddly enough on Sunday, I believe Blair did let it be known that he was not interested in a return to the Commons but that still makes no sense if you look at how structured his media appearences have been. Blair is good at that s***, and does not make moves without having a notion of what is down the line, several steps ahead.

That f***er is making moves and it's a genuine struggle to work out the why.

Only a handful were actually deported the rest are appealing again.

More than happy for those who oppose deportation like Diane Abbott to take personal and financial responsibility for them. Perhaps they would like a paedophile to baby sit or a house guest who is a murderer or drug dealer.

No didn't think so, disgustingly they keep bringing up Windrush, disgustingly because overwhelmingly those folk were decent hard working people unfairly treated by the Home Office and they are compared to convicted scum.

The number of non whites deported is dwarfed by the number of white mainly Europeans. Besides its the crime that you are convicted of not the colour of your skin.

I have certainly 'warmed' to these sentiments.
I was on my 'Soapbox' about this only last night.

 

Forest Hillbilly Flag in a hidey-hole 14 Aug 21 10.44am

Just a tad concerning that Abbott and her political types are getting media space. And it might only be a tiny bit of media space in an niche newspaper,...but it is still waaaaay more than Starmer is getting.

Even Hancock on holiday has got more coverage than anything Starmer might think of doing. Let's hope he is planning and formulating a formidable opposition party, which has credible designs on power. Soon to be released on the UK public.

Or are we to endure more Hancock holiday selfies and Boris soundbites ?

P155 poor Government, kept in power by inept opposition. UK is politically bankrupt.
