Labour's new leader

[whiterum]

It's freezing outside, that's what the Tories are good at.

Put a jumper on then and enjoy your new freedom from Labour tyranny.

Reversing global warming? Well done Boris! I thought that was next month's project, once you've finished defeating the global pandemic and local pestilence, such as the French.

Labour need to ditch the identity politics and get back to treating British working class voters as British irrespective of what they look like!

[flatandy]

Starmer has been playing identity politics since he became leader. It’s all flag waving St George man in pub white English nationalism signalling. Which is a ridiculous thing for him because everyone who wants that nonsense already has a whole bunch of parties to support, and they don’t want a Labour Party that does it half-heartedly.

Labour need to go back to appealing to their core support of middle class students and luvvies.

It's about immigration. England's become a populist country.

Popular? Cool!

{Criticising Sir Keir Starmer for failing to listen to voters, Mr Mahmood said: "A London-based bourgeoisie, with the support of brigades of woke social media warriors, has effectively captured the party.

"They mean well, of course, but their politics – obsessed with identity, division and even tech utopianism – have more in common with those of Californian high society than the kind of people who voted in Hartlepool yesterday.

"The loudest voices in the Labour movement over the past year, in particular, have focused more on pulling down Churchill’s statue than they have on helping people pull themselves up in the world.}

Spot on. Labour have been mostly going on about how nobody really knows what they stand for. As if their message isn't quite getting through (because, of course, of the right wing press). Labour's problem though, is that people know exactly what they stand for and many people just don't like it.

[perrykneeham]

That, and Labour is inherently shite. It's based on a wicked deception called socialism and relies on promising everyone a solid gold unicorn that they know they can't deliver. What's worse is that they rely on telling different groups that they understand why they need a bigger, better more golden unicorn more than others, sooner.

In short, they are frauds, preying on the needy, the thick and the pious.

Unfortunately you're right. I say unfortunately because good strong opposition's essential in parliament. They've failed to offer this because they've lost direction - which should be to check the imbalance of wealth in the country.

[flatandy]

One of the weird things I’ve seen over the last couple of days is lots of people giving advice to Labour. Yet those people are people whose goal is to make sure Labour never wins - Tory MPs, Telegraph journalists, right wing talking heads. And even weirder is Labour MPs retweeting that advice as if it’s sincere and should be taken seriously.

I think they should bring back Corbyn. he was a shoe in but for shagging that one little sheep.

[flatandy]

Corbyn was rubbish. It's just that his rubbishness wasn't the reasons that are being made out by the disingenuous Labour Right. It wasn't because he was an antisemite, and it wasn't because he wasn't tritely nationalistic and flag-wavey enough.
