Labour Party politics

Same old same old.

Woking from home is productive and great for the environment so businesses should stop complaining.

There are exceptions though where a simple video call just wont get the job done (said every politician who loved their travel perks).

And another one

Perhaps Labour would like to explain the purpose of the trip and what benefits the UK taxpayer gained from it.

Note Ignore the world cup headline I think that is misleading by the Express. The point stands 34k for a freebie.

If Labour were truly Labour, they'd limit expenses hugely. A Marxist would surely stay in a youth hostel or under a pier or something?
They're the smiley hipster Labour Party with chief Glastonbury Festival/ Factory Records man at their head now. They see nothing wrong with private education, flashy cars, expensive hotels and trips. They're doing it all to talk about educating the common oik and lifting the brown people of the world from their colonial yoke, whilst sipping champagne and dipping tofu at Kensington dinner parties.
The real problems people live through don't matter. It's the bigger picture of world oppression and victim hood that they want to spout off about. To deflect them away from having anything to do with us dirty, racist working folk and white van men - the ultimate class enemy.
They actually believe the social science lecturers and academics. Mainly for convenience and social media hits. It's all cool to them: they don't actually believe it: no one sane does. But it's getting the likes so it's out of their hands.
We should be f***ing fuming over Labour expense scandals more than any other party. But we know we're just dealing with the same as the Tories who just say different things.
It's not like any of them actually do much other than having a Jolly or pretending to care in Parliament on the odd occasion.
Where people say we need them to have pay rises to get better quality, I beg to differ. They all need to be sacked now: and not nicely. Literally thrown out. There's not one policy or idea among the whole lot.
Ban political parties, affiliations and donors. Have a central expenses administration that asks for receipts and only justifies genuine government business expenses. Put some manners on these free loaders.
Imagine for one moment that you believe being in government gives you the right to jet around the world watching the football. You'd need to go to prison frankly. Instead, it's actually just fine. Which I think tells us all we need to know.
 
This is quite good from Burnham, a series of wrong ill thought out paths taken from the early 1980s have led to our decline, let us be honest.

Domestically quite hopeful, but internationally already a blairite disaster waiting to happen imo.

So Labour are still blaming Thatcher. If only we'd had a Labour government between 1997 and 2010 maybe they could have done something about it.
But, but the Tories. Shut up and government the country. How about you actually come up with one policy? How is anyone actually worse than the previous four Prime Ministers? Who next? Decided by Camelot?
 
Burnham is even more vacuous than Starmer. There is literally nothing of any real substance there. Not even pretence of it.

This professional Northerner act is rapidly running out of what little steam it had in the first place.

This is what modern politics is now. All personality no need to have any substance. Farage exactly the same. Starmer fell because he had none of either.

It’s been a shite show for ages, from all sides.

What Burnham is stating, and I support his conviction, is that we have endured nearly 5 decades of Thatcherism (neoliberal agenda in her style) in this country and save for a couple of years when Gordon Brown tried to implement a traditional Labour strategy, it persisted right up until Keir Starmer got the boot.

So, Thatcherism in the 80's was a wonderful dose of salts for a stagnating economy but evidently rooted in superficial remedies & short-term gains. So he is setting out his stall: Thatcherism hasn't functioned in a sustainable manner and has actually left our country hollowed out and compounded inequality. Burnham is the first PM since 1979 (nod to G Brown) to map out a new type of politics, strongly defined against Thatcherism.

Does he have the calibre of Labour thinkers around him to challenge vested interests?

I assume you are not old enough to have experienced what is was like in the 70s before Thatcher.
