The legal case against Corbyn is surely the nail in the coffin for the hard left in the Labour Party?

I’m not sure if this is the right area to post this, but it sort of relates to labour. You have said recently that you don’t want people with far-right views sinvolved with your channels or subscribed to you. I don’t have a particular problem with this but that being the case, shouldn’t you also say the same for people with far-left views? Such as…

I don’t think Labour has any where to go. They already have all of the woke metropolitan middle-classes in the big cities and university towns. There are no more of those to get on side. Labour are more popular with the younger voters, but then those tend not to bother to vote – and that’s something that has not changed much over many years. I see…

Most of those fringe ideas aren’t supported by anything like 50% of the population, especially when you have conversations about the likely unintended consequences with people who are uncertain.

That’s an interesting take. Most people would regard things like the Good Friday Agreement as a huge accomplishment that has ended separatist terrorism on the UK mainland and Mayberry reducing on the island of Ireland, alongside things like Sure Start, raising 600k children out of relative poverty, 2 million pensioners out of poverty, slashing NHS…

I can only hope that the Labour party in it’s current form never do get into power, they seem completely divorced from reality, only recently Kier Starmer was advocating giving the vote to 3 million EU nationals, he advocates bame only shortlists for MP candidates when the bame representation already exceeds the national percentages within the…

Yes, I agree with you. They should advocate for Freedom of Speech. Without it there’s no discourse and new ideas have no chance to be conceived. So far, LP has been more interested in gagging freedom of speech. Should I want to say something that dissents from the left-wing narrative in my workplace, I’d become unpopular.

I am middle-aged unions’ member. I receive a brochure by post in which my unions are concerned about championing LGBT, pushes equality to the point of absurd where newly employed worker is equal to an ‘old’ worker. Ageism is when the young workers are being told what to do. In my workplace one can choose to wear a metal rainbow badge to pledge…

The greens finished 2nd behind labour in two seats, the SNP nearly pipped them in their one Scottish seat, plaid are growing and the lib Dems are ideal for the metropolitan elite labour know desperately rely on. The lane will open for each of these parties if the lib Dems step one way or the other too “moderate” the greens go up, too unionist they…

My point was the next threat to labour is young people abandoning labour to the other left wing parties.

You’re hatred is justified but the question will be if the conservatives can transform the Tory model which isn’t viewed well by woke groups and young people. And labour would also have to become totally unloved and there is likely still a partisan preference to the Labour party out of hatred to the Conservatives.

I can safely say that if Paul were to represent Labour in my constituency I’d seriously consider voting for him. Like KK I have doubts about his economics however, unlike KK (I suspect), it’s because I have no concept of what a socialist Britain would even look like and so it’s more a case of not trusting things I don’t understand.
Paul shows 3…

All far left parties, because there are no centre left remaining, are being abandoned by their working class base. This is happening because all of the executive of these parties have never worked a real day in their lives. They went from shcool to university, then to union work. As they have no reference to real life they make decisions like children.

Labour needs to change its name. As it no longer represents the working man, it should remove the Labour tag and choose a new name. They can keep everything else, just a cosmetic change to reflect the dynamic nature of the party going forward.

The Labour party in NZ has a democratic structure. Members vote on people and vote on the shit they say. I assume uk labour is similar. If UK Labour does not represent the working g class, then it is a good example of where democracy fails, or where it can be subverted

Hello from NZ. I work with a few “socialists from way back”, just working class blokes who want rights and respect. The UK Labour party has something wrong at their core. The NZ labour party, at the last election, campaigned for: reduced immigration, more labour inspectors, a crack down on Visa fraud, and they offered a socialist solution to the…

The labour party left the working class when Blair moved the party to the right of centre. He pushed through his Neo-Liberalism dream and the made the working class pay for it
The Labour party need to go back to its grass roots ideals.
