He's likely no longer leader if that happens.

Corbyn got two elections tho

The thing is that Labor can win with a Blair charisma without all of his centrist policies.....

Remember, Blair's 1997 and 2001 landslides were historic....

If Labor doesn't control Britain by 2030 Britain will break up and the Empire will really be dead.

the empire has been dead since 1947

labour is thw natural opposition party, if loss in 2024, 25 years in opposition is damning

[gerritcole]

labour needs gordy brown to unite its factions

[gerritcole]

Labour needs a populist from the red now blue wall to hold millwall and make in roads in sin feeiiinn and Scotland, the Picts are formidable

[gerritcole]

the state of uk politics mirrors its decline as a relevant power

RIP Mr Amess...

Can I ask why UK parties find it hard to recruit canidates local to the areas they're contesting, all 3 major parties seem to commonly pick random activists often from very far counstieunces are located to contest them.

Is there any particular reason for this ?

All labour is from London so they have to parachute in to other places  😉

should labour disavow blair and apologize for the 1997, 2001, 2005 victories due to iraq in order to solidify young bipoc and terf support

[gerritcole]

Blair won three general elections for Labour. Jeremy and Ten Pound Trots Leftism will not win any general elections for Labour.

blair is the only human to have led labour to victory in 48 years... what does MP Nadia Whittome have to say?

[gerritcole]

Boris could set off nukes on a spice world and they wouldn't act.

Who is labours muaddib

Mirza was one of the few serious people left in Downing Street, so that’s pretty damn bad for him. A sign that he’s becoming too radioactive even for the inner circle.

On a side note, I believe as regards “levelling up” that Johnson was wittering on the other day about the success that Germany has had with regards to “leveling up” East Germany. Whilst there’s a case both for and against that view, it’s a rather odd choice of illustration given the enormous brain drain that East Germany has had and continues to suffer from, which is exactly the thing that British “leveling up” is supposed to be about counteracting.*

*I think the whole policy is an absurdity, especially the stupid name, but still, just an observation.

Fake ossi merkel was ashamed of the DDR and neglected its development! Now penguin chancellor scholz only has two ossis in the cabinet and don't want them to level up, SAXONY is not the red headed stepchild. why are there no ossis on die mannschaft?

There was a very good program on Channel 4 about partition last night.

I don’t know what is more damning; how it’s largely airbrushed out of discussion in British politics or how it’s airbrushed out of discussion about the Attlee Government.

ive brought up this point before here and been told that the violence was inevitable/the situation was untenable/attlee had no direct involvement and blamed everything on radcliffe
