    There are people on this website who honestly seem to believe: 1. That the Labour Party started in 2015, not 1900 2. That the Labour Party has always been for socialists only - rather than the alliance of socialists, social democrats, trade unionists and others it's ALWAYS been

    Very many soul-destroying conversations were had between friends of mine and myself in the period before the election. As well as a convo with my aunt which I found physically and emotionally painful, she was so unreachable. It just shouldn't be this hard.

  3. I'd already seen the same phenomenon in 2015. 2015 and 2019 were like mirror images of each other in many ways. And of course my best friend tried to persuade colleagues of hers. But in the end, it was OUR failure.

  4. Incidentally, just to explain why I related this anecdote: the problem I found in the months leading up to the election was that all sorts of people who needed to be voting Labour weren't voting Labour. My best friend DID vote Labour. But she knew the writing was on the wall.

    And yet across the North, Starmer is viewed more favourably than Long. Bailey. There is more to it than Brexit.

  7. I wouldn't be so sure about that. You know what would somehow be even worse than Johnson? Patel. I lie awake at night worrying that she'll be his eventual successor.

    It is the approval of the electorate that matters. There is nothing remotely 'vapid' in attempting to understand what will encourage voters to return Labour to power.

  9. Couldn't agree more. It's irrefutable. Billionaires need nobody's protection. And if we get our messaging right, only 99.999999% of the public will agree with us on that.

    Think all who are coherent can agree that it was quite obvious voters didn't want Corbyn in 2019. Some believe he was a good man and wrongly smeared and others believe him to be a fraud easy to smear but we have in common that it was wrong for him to risk the GE on his polling.

    Your friend was spot on. I would have loved Corbyn to win but it was never going to happen. Labour needs a leader non-members can feel happy voting for. Starmer fits the bill.

    No-deal Brexit / WTO tariffs paid by importers of UK exports: Beef 84% Cheese 57% Wheat 53% Butter 48% Lamb 48% Pork 30% Potatoes 11.5% Fish 9.6% Current EU membership tariffs: Beef 0% Cheese 0% Wheat 0% Butter 0% Lamb 0% Pork 0% Potatoes 0% Fish 0% Spot the problem.

  13. An alarming, thought-provoking update from re: his legal case. If I were you, dear followers, I'd click on the link and read the update. It's remarkable. If you can spare a few bob, it'd help him enormously. As would sharing his funder.

    96. That many working class people lost interest in any 'class-based analysis' at least 40 years ago now doesn't mean anything. 97. Business is evil. 98. 100% of all poor people are good. 99. Communism only failed everywhere it was tried because it wasn't actual communism.

    91. Being rich is evil. 92. Clamping down on benefit fraud is also evil. 93. All private schools are evil. 94. The only identity that matters in life is what class someone belongs to. 95. Therefore, only a 'class-based analysis' matters to all voters.

    89. That there aren't anywhere near enough working class and poor people to deliver a Labour government by themselves is irrelevant. 90. That middle class professionals are a lot more likely to belong to a trade union than working class people is also irrelevant.

    87. Portugal is socialist, redistributive, in the EU and in the euro (so which is it?!) 88. All left wing governments ever elected have never had to compromise with the middle classes first. Only the working classes count.

    85. That in a world of corporate tax dodgers, mass capital flight in the event of a socialist government being elected will just be a small hiccup with no effect on the tax base and nothing to worry about. 86. It's impossible to be socialist and in the EU at the same time.

    83. That socialism failed the moment Bretton Woods collapsed and Britain became the sick man of Europe means we can somehow go it alone in the 2020s regardless. 84. Promising everything for everyone (except the top 5%) without the means to pay for it is "the right thing to do".
