Labour Party politics

Will the Green Party adopt Shoplifters of the World Unite and Take Over as the party song?

I was always old Labour. I left with the suspicious death of John Smith. I've never voted Tory but I've also never voted Labour since Smith's death.
These lot are charlatans. And I would rather listen to the band.

OK might be 30 odd years ago but he had quite a formidable front bench in opposition

The usual deaf and blind write Reform off but they forget that the red wall abandoned Labour in droves voting Boris Johnson in and already half of working class labour voters say they intend to vote Labour. The usual people who’ve lost their senses say there’s 4 years to go. Yeah, 4 years for it to get worse. This government are so bad, and they were supposed to be the adults now in charge.

The tories have a majority in the unelected chamber and they will be frustrating and blocking the wishes of the voters, particularly the landlords bill as that is what many of them are.

Enter the government who would normallty create labour peers as has been done before to get their stuff through, but not here so far, several in the labour government are also landlords themselves.

The HOL needs to end and the job taken inside, a fair voting system introduced, it looks, and is, ridiculous in the modern world.

It looks like she’s in more trouble according to The Telegraph. Apparently she and her husband sued the NHS for the treatment her disabled son received. Many would, but a hopeful Labour leader? So the money from the case was put in a trust fund.

Next the pair of them sell a large share of the house to their disabled son so use his trust fund to keep the house and use the money elsewhere. This is how Rayner gathered the money together. I still think she had a large mortgage.

Next it is apparently breaking rules and a problem that the flat in Hove is registered as a first home when it is actually a 2nd home. Before it was thought that it’s only how many homes you ‘own’, as she didn’t own any when buying the Bive flat, but apparently not.

Next she claims she made errors blah blah, only there’s the very uncomfortable fact she hired a tax and wealth advisor to avoid paying the stamp duty she should have paid.

I thought this wasn’t going to go anywhere after the weekend but credit to The Telegraph, they’ve exposed this hypocrite for what she is, rather than the working class hero who sets a good example and full of integrity. Nope, she’s a greedy hypocrite and now people know it. Another own goal the working class Labour voter will find abhorrent. Well done the lot of them.

My take on Rayner.....

Starmer to lose his job by the end of the year. Rayner was the obvious candidate to take over, and had been positioning herself for months. The Blairite faction favour Wes Streeting.

Rayner has to be forced out to clear the way.

Jacob Rees-Mogg reckons it’ll be Ed Milliband lol. That would be so hilarious it would outweigh the pain of the damage. They’d be even more fecked in 2029 then.

Unrecognisable as a labour government.

I would say they are eminently recognisable as a labour government. Spiralling government debt that they continue to try to address with tax rises and attacks on people who generate prosperity, rather than on public sector waste. And unfashionable as it may be, if you have to increase tax, just do the honest and efficient thing, and add 1% onto all rates of income tax. You might find the economy responds better to that than to a massive levy on employment which is applicable regardless of how profitable a business is, and which disproportionately hits those who rely on employing people. A further lurch to the left will just make all the country's economic problems deeper.
