Labour....ever feel like you've been cheated? on 22:36 - Jul 22 with 566 views | BlueBadger | It's impressive, in a depressing way, how keen they seem to be on copying the mistakes of the Biden administration which got elected on a platform of 'vote for us, we're not the openly corrupt and incompetent bunch of bogots the last lot were' and then following up on a massive election victor by deciding that the people that they should be looking to appeal to is the sort of people who wouldn't vote for them anyway whilst managing alienate literally everyone else who voted for them. All that majority, so little imagination and guts. [Post edited 22 Jul 22:36]

The Dear Leader was as much 'not the answer' as this shower. If Ed Milliband had opted for the full English rather than that bloody bacon sarnie, we'd probably be in a hella lot better shape, right now. |  |

No leaders and all that...it's all about the overall vision and this lot never had any! |  |

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need more of the fearless Starmer who forensically dismantled Johnson and Sunak every Wednesday, offered principled opposition to Brexit and actively called out bigotry in the House rather than the feeble tosspot cowering in the face of the TERF lobby and GBeebies that we appear to be landed with. |  |

The signs were there. Once he switched from Opposition Leader to prospective Prime Minster he shut up shop and really said sweet FA during the election campaign. The whole 'We are not the Tories' got him into no 10, not any great promises about what he would do once he got in. So with that respects I suppose he is sticking to his election manifesto, say little and now he's doing little. |  |

Although, with the whole austerity, cheap appeals to bigots and not standing up to dictators thing, one cold argue he's broken that whole 'we're not the Tories' promise he got elected on. |  |

Corbyn clearly wasn't leadership material but he was regarded as such a threat to the status quo that the political and media establishment (including the bulk of the Labour Party) personally attacked and undermined him from day one. Indeed, your mocking reference to Dear Leader shows just how effective the campaign was. As a member of the Labour Party at the time who didn't vote for Corbyn, it seemed to me that he offered a way forward that could have been built on by a better leader, but with slightly less radical policies (European social democraccy?). It seemed at first that Starmer was that person but it was clearly all a con and the political establishment can now rest easy with any prospect of anything to left of Starmer off the table forever. The thing is I saw the writing on the wall two or three years ago, and resigned from a Labour Party that seemed nothing more than an unpleasant empty vessel. [Post edited 23 Jul 9:14]

This is so terribly true, and so terribly concerning. Like watching a five year slow motion car crash starting out thinking "well, they've got loads of time to take evasive action... Crikey! a year's gone and they seem to be actually accelerating into that big patch of oil with traffic backed up the other side of it... still at least there's another 4 years before the most horrific consequences of a major US style pile up... surely they'll change course..." Farage looms. Stupid wanchors. |  |

They missed a trick by letting his brother walk away. Although given the state they’ve descended into, I’m not surprised he did. There are so few options now if you would like a party that isn’t corrupted by corporate interests. In some respect Magic Grandpa may have been a partial antidote to that, but was never going to be (allowed to be?) elected. Not that there wasn’t other baggage there of course. No wonder so many people feel politically homeless. |  |
