The Labour Government

Hello

Have I missed the name of the party?

I think they know what's coming, the Tories were much more comfortable letting services slip. I think we will soon be at the point where taxes are gonna go up more and they either believe this will fail or they just don't want to pay more tax, maybe a bit of both.

I agree with you that the left wing should be more upset, their scope is quite narrow and get in looking dull but responsible then hitting the radical button hasn't and won't happen.

Yep agree with all of that

No name yet that I have seen. Still a pretty big deal.

Will we get a true socialist option to go with the 3 degrees.

Hello

Socialism will never, ever work. It's too militantly left for a majority of the electorate to get on board with. Usage of the terminology alone will put off the majority.

But maybe more Labour MPs splintering away will be the kipper slap Starmer needs, who knows.

Potential collab?

That's the difficult bit. Whatever name they come up with will be ridiculed .. so maybe best not to over think that bit

Socialist party it is then ;-)

Depends how much we continue to adopt the American meanings of political words.

Biggest intraday rise in bond yields in three years, the Chancellor of the Exchequer in tears in the HoC.

Yeah nothing to see here.

Ha ha.

Tories saying this is the worst government ever, and you helpfully remind us of what Truss did in 2022 - as a deliberate policy!

True. People don't work in their millions dockyards, steelworks or mines anymore. They have double incomes, two cars and kids at university. They are upwardly mobile. Donkey jackets and Arthur Scargill no more.

Hello

Was always going to happen.

This current Labour Party is an old fashioned centre right Tory party and it’s clear there is a need for a party of the left that will feel like home for many.

Splitting the left and centre will only guarantee Farage in power next election.

Let's see who the personal are before I could say I wanted that.

Would Real Labour be a tad too cheeky even if accurate. ?

Maybe it will make Starmer head left instead of worrying about Farage?

Absolutely

I know all those lefties in Europe, bloody losers:-)

How about New Old Labour? Or maybe they'll channel their inner Blairs and go New New Labour?

Not saying it isn't popular elsewhere. I just don't see it working over here, especially in the current climate.

Don't know the intricacies of the Scandinavian model, but maybe that could be attempted?

Haha its a minefield, I do hope they have the self awareness to avoid socialist in the name.
