Is it contemptible? At this point I just think theyโ€™re just this bad at politics.

Do they not know what elections are happening in May?

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...donโ€™t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesnโ€™t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesnโ€™t create jobs

Folks, weโ€™ve seen this all before.

Iโ€™m visiting some friends in a couple of weeks in the Cotswolds near Northleach for #PalentinesDay.

Anyone from or know the #Cotswolds that can recommend a good pub for food and drinks?

Iโ€™m running the Cardiff Half (my first!) and raising money for Cardiff Dogs Home - the ones that gave Sidan ๐Ÿบ to me; they do essential work helping hundreds of dogs.

Grateful if anyone has any spare money that they would donate to my fundraising page! cardiffhalf26.enthuse.com/pf/peter-gil...

That NEC decision on Burnham was predictable, but also: cowardly, insecure, factional, long-term counter-strategic and symptomatic of administrative malaise.

Thanks for the explanation, though I already know how the Labour Party works.

He has no direct power but he has significant influence over the NEC. These are not siloed components of the party.

I donโ€™t think heโ€™s popular with reform voters. But I think Starmer doesnโ€™t have the political capital with Labour members to block a candidate on such shaky grounds.

Even so, there is president for an MP to serve as a mayor at the same time.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Starmer and his circleโ€™s political instincts are such garbage I canโ€™t comprehend it.

What on earth are they thinking?

Come May, he will be toast and will be out of all his political capital

How surprising. Starmerโ€™s rank attack on migrants and slashing of overseas aid hasnโ€™t gained him any votes from the bigots.

Our government, our national broadcaster and everyone else who genuinely cares about truth and decency and the safety of women and others should have left very long ago. And it should now be considered a matter of considerable concern that they remain.
