That Starmer fella...

Spinners and losers...

How would you describe your politics? I'm struggling to work it out. Today you seem to be annoyed Labour won't fix our problems quick enough, whereas yesterday you seemed miffed they would raise taxes fix our problems quicker, and I'm not sure how those two positions sit together (unless you're just generally anti-Labour on general principle, which is of course perfectly reasonable)?

And Novara and MEE have spent the last year telling us that a vote for Labour was a vote for genocide. They campaigned on that lie.

They deserve no credit for this decision. They deserve a kick up the arse and a long sit in an empty room to think about what we might've lost had anyone been stupid enough to listen to them.

Put simply, Reeves is a economic moron.

How does she compare to Truss and Kwarteng?

Being angry at a news site reporting accurately on labours position for the past nine months is very funny

I'm not really sure what you think she's done that isn't what they told us they would do?

They made clear they would have fiscal rules and we could only have nice things if growth happens, plenty of people were saying that given the march OBR forecasts for committed spending showed large financial holes in the future, this would mean tax rises or austerity are left as the options within thier rulesand they ruled out a number of tax rises

Three (wo)men in a boat

Reeves is “an economic moron” and you’re bracketing her with Truss and Kwarteng?

That’s very poor quality trolling

spot on

Starmer looks very bad suspending the 7. But part of his motivation is to piss people off.

because of centrist cunts whose top priority is fighting the left and will cheat and lie and break any rule to do so.

If John and his allies played half as dirty they would have achived more for society, at the expense of losing the moral high ground.

Labour's manifesto looking a bit smelly.

All fans of the other people's money gun..

Surely that is the problem with the left? It's all moral high ground and ideological purity over actually gaining power and making some changes?

The problem is not the left. The problem is a piss poor electoral voting system that forces people into large political parties. Too large really.
We should vote FOR what we believe to be fair and just not against things.
However, the Labour hierarchy seems to be deaf when it comes to the issue of electoral reform. Are the right of the Labour party terrified of not being the largest left leaning party?

No way, a moderately right wing newspaper suggesting that the "VAT on private schools" policy is bad? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you

Yeah I don't believe either side (of the labour party) is really any more or less factionalist than the other, and you calling one side cunts isn't really changing that view

We should vote FOR what we believe to be fair and just not against things.

Pretty sure any stats you look at say the majority of people think 2cap is fair. Most of the comments I've heard are on the basis that if you can't afford kids you shouldn't be having them, and covering the cost of the first 2 is a more than fair compromise.

It's not my view, just flagging the limitations with democracy when your opinion is the minority one.

Those Centrists who ousted a Tory Government who after the previous election people expected to be in power for a decade?

Those same Centrists who were so focused on fighting the left that they accidentally won a thumping majority against the right?

Maccy D & Co. don't need to play dirty, they just need to hold a majoritarian position and do a collabo with a decent electoral strategist.

I'm not sure whether could have done more for society but didn't want to sully their morals is really that big a win for them.

And yet you make no mention of 14 years of the Tories, the party you support, hosing public money in huge amounts whether it was PPE corruption (Michelle Mone will be the tip of the iceberg), HS2, furlough fraud, £700m on Rwanda, Johnson’s plane repaint and on and on and on.

Public finances and economy are in a dire state. And that isn’t on Rachel Reeves.

That might affect the relationship with the CBI and newspaper owners.

I'm all for it though - emphasising the line about not taxing working people and heavily taxing unearned wealth can't be a bad thing.
