The Labour Party

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

national socialism, where have we heard of that before? and she was, as she puts it, "born to the roar of the Stretford End".

Forget her politics, if she's a rag she can get fucked.

And going full Trump batshit crazy is electable. If so that's a damning indightment of the electorate.

Our trans-Atlantic cousins have shown "full Trump batshit crazy" is electable. Whether that is because Trump was an attractive prospect as a president or because the opposition was so weak is another matter.
People voted for Johnson because he made several simple promises. And that's what the electorate like.
Those promises could be a combination of bollocks, unicorns and assorted lies. We have to wait and see. And hope.

I sigh every single time I read this.

Do you sigh because you disagree, or because you worry about Johnson in charge of a party with a large majority?

Yes. Get a new electorate, this one's broken.

I sigh because constantly comparing him to Trump is incredibly stupid.

No strong feelings about Long Bailey either way, but her desire to mix patriotism (nationalism) with socialism concerns me. Although I'm sure her intentions are purely to appeal to a broad electoral church history suggests it's a dangerous combination

Ah I wondered what you was going on about here.

Then...

Progressive = socialism

Patriotism = nationalism

National Socialists. Yikes.

She worked at Pinsent Mason in manchester - a mid size law firm. She is a qualified lawyer and the work she did would have been charged out as such but typically in such firms the Partners front the work and big teams of associates (junior but qualified lawyers) do all the donkey work in the background. Its a similar volume recruitment process to many professional firms, it is hard but not impossible to get in. They need lots of cheep(ish) and highly committed graduates doing all the work (long long hours) but once said people have 4 or 5 years experience they get picked off by other smaller firms or into working for corporates as in house lawyers so lots of churn - accountancy is exactly the same (Plus many drop out as they can't hack it). Its a well trodden path - no reason to doubt it.

funnily enough I have been a partner in PInsent masons Manchester for the last 12 years and head of corporate there. She has never worked in my team.

It'll be the same sort of thing as Robbie Savage played for united.

You don't know anything about me, you just project your stereotypes and prejudices on to the people who disagree with you.

Fuck - that is indeed a classic

That is exactly what you do all the time - it seems literally all you have any capability to do

Now that is 'ultimate' projection - bravo

The coronation of Long Bailey starts with Raynor as deputy.

Momentum and McCluskey firmly in charge still.

No lessons learned whatsoever.

It's the membership, they have to placate it, Thornberry is even suck holing to them, because they now simply
have to. I think Labour is finished, at least until someone, anyone, manages to oust the cancer that infected it.
Kinnock managed it, with Militant tendency, but then again, he only had to deal with the likes of the utter wanker that
was Derek Hatton, a gobby scouse no mark, Momentum, fronted by Lansman, is a much different kettle of fish.

This is what we call an OOF!

This is why they continue to lose, the electorate, according to them, are the ones at fault.
Thank fuck for democracy.

she could have been before my time I have checked with people who have been there longer than me or she could have worked in another dept to be fair to her but I haven’t heard of her so not a corporate lawyer

Not really as she left Pinsent Masons in 2003, 4 years before KHW joined.

And guys like Foot and Corbyn gave us Thatcher and Johnson. Until the Labour left and its membership take responsibilty for it's self indulgent selfish ideology we will get right wing tory governments.

A number of us have been patiently explaining this to @The perfect fumble and others for years.

The denial is strong - and I expect to find that you have probably been told to fuck off

These types of Labour 'supporters' have a perverse future.....

They are directly responsible for engineering the conditions that will reduce the Labour Party to a marginalised protest group - and they will therefore have a perfect vehicle for their whingeing - aka protesting.

So they will be - perversely - happy I guess

Whereas genuine and traditional Labour supporters......

Again, funnily enough, she said her politics were shaped by seeing her father worry about losing his job
at Salford docks, saying she grew up watching the round of redundancies affecting them.
As a two year old, I never really had such an interest, but apparently giggling, gurgling, and smearing your breakfast
all over your face was not for Becky at that age,Tory bashing was foremost in her formative first 24 months.
Mozart was apparently a child prodigy, but fuck me she takes the proverbial.

Yes, can't remember the date, but i bet the last dock closed long before she was old enough to be aware. She probably helped Lowry with his paintings.

Pfft, that was a minor achievement, wait till you hear what she did at Peterloo.

Why do polititians mess with their CV? They must know the will be found out. I Remember Blair saying he sat on the Gallowgate and watched wor Jackie play. Er....no seats on the G'gate, and I think you'd be 1 year old when Milburn retired.
