He should look at Biden and what he's done. (Not his biggest fan either)To what extent we don't know because his supporters, this is hilarious btw, are hoping he has been lying to grab some votes.
How great is that :-) anyhow there is one thing even the most ardent tory would struggle to sell. Labour would be more incompetent. I'm really not sure that's possible.
Reeves has been banging the "welfare state should be squeezed" drum for a decade, she has always been an osbourne type of tory mimdset on public investmemt, as soon as starmer apointed her you knew anything he promised in the leadership campaign was up for scrappingThat remains to be seen.
Austerity Reeves preparing us for another fucking without lube says to me were gonna get Cameron style government.
I think we need to stop thinking in terms of left and right and just start with the basics. Are these current/prospective leaders massive arseholes? Do they deserve to be in power? The tories fail that test. The detail of labour's policy is irrelevant. I'm voting tactically for the annihilation of tories.That remains to be seen.

It was a Corbyn manifesto policy that was very popular. It would be welcomed by me if Starmer adopts it for his. However I don't trust him to enact it.Have I just heard that Labour are getting rid of zero hours contracts?

Not sure on 3. I suspect any actual policies being announced and then happening will be noticed.I think the main things that we can realistically hope for are:
1. More competent management.
2. Less corruption and downright sleaze. (Less not none. I am a realist.)
3. Small tweaks here and there, almost too subtle to be noticed.
After 4-5 years, people will be so grateful for stability and lack of scandal they will probably grant a further term. And in that second term, maybe, you might see some genuine change.
Thanks for the correction.It was an Ed Miliband manifesto policy.
I think Ava was expecting a different reaction.The interviewer sounded really disappointed with his answers :/
She definitely was - which is a bit depressing in some ways.I think Ava was expecting a different reaction.
Interesting she mentioned he had dinner with Keir last night. I'll ask Mick what was spoken about when he attends our next Union meeting.
Mick has strong political views. I'm glad as GS of my union he's not tried to impose them on the membership. He's a pragmatic man and if he feels it's right for the RMT to return to the Labour he will argue his case fairly at the next AGM.She definitely was - which is a bit depressing in some ways.
Mick Lynch might have significant differences with the Labour leadership, but he knows he's more likely to be getting some of the things he wants if they're in power.
I think the websites trying to identify which party is best in each constituency to annihilate the Tories will do a roaring trade.I think we need to stop thinking in terms of left and right and just start with the basics.

Well, Ange has given an iron clad guarantee, can’t ask for more than that and will be most welcome. My lads first job was on this and was an absolute piss-take, no guarantees at all and puts people in real trouble.It was a Corbyn manifesto policy that was very popular. It would be welcomed by me if Starmer adopts it for his. However I don't trust him to enact it.
Yeah. The tactical voting can get tricky as most disgruntled tory types will always prefer to vote lib dem than Labour meaning they can be better placed even if they finished 3rd last time.I think the websites trying to identify which party is best in each constituency to annihilate the Tories will do a roaring trade.
The risk is that some like Rees Mogg's have Labour and Lib Dem vying to be the main challenger, leaving the likes of RM still MPs. The lack of a Portillo moment will have one advantage. We'd see less of Rees Mogg on TV than we've seen of Portillo.
