The Labour Government

[ballbag]

I'll never forget his appearance on Mastermind

Not quite unforgettable then

 

[Really_here]

Not quite unforgettable then

It wasn't me who said he was unforgettable ?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Because he wants to be Prime Minister.

It isn’t difficult to understand.

It’s mental how some folk completely lack any form of empathy towards people they don’t like. As you say, it isn’t at all complex.

 

[Blue and true]

Think Burnham would reinvigorate Labour, so I'm glad he'll be contesting. Starmer won't admit it, but he'll know his leadership is under threat.

 

[ballbag]

It wasn't me who said he was unforgettable ?

Yeah, I was just agreeing with your post to Urban Genie that he was unforgettable.

 

[stonerblue]

Don't get the hype over Burnham.
As a resident I don't see any significant improvements during his tenure as major.

Mayor.

 

[yeseye]

They’ve blocked Burnham just like they have blocked 4.5 million people from voting in May!
Labour are a complete joke.
They are finished.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Does his position as Mayor now become untenable given he was willing to drop us?

 

[Blue and true]

Pathetic from Starmer.

 

[urban genie]

NEC cowards.

I urge all gortonians, longsight and Leve folk and the good people of denton and reddish to vote green , fuck labour and stop the reform cranks

 

[urban genie]

Does his position as Mayor now become untenable given he was willing to drop us?

probably not

 

[Blue Hefner]

Does his position as Mayor now become untenable given he was willing to drop us?

I don’t think so, do that many people even pay attention?
I know it’s a little different but people apply for new jobs all the time and don’t get them and are not forced to resign

I think it’s pretty poor that they have blocked him. I don’t think it shows strength. The only one who voted for him was Lucy Powell, a City fan, funnily enough

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I’m surprised they’ve blocked him. Very weak leadership.

I can see Labour losing that seat now, which is fucking crazy. They should be weighing Labour votes in inner city Manchester, never mind counting them.

The crazy thing is I was a big Starmer fan. I’m pro-EU, social democrat Blairite Labour in my politics. I really wanted Starmer to succeed and I was excited when he won.

If people like me are turning away they must be well and truly utterly fucked.

If the Tories did the sensible thing and sacked off all the culture war nonsense and went to capture the centre ground of sensible politics based on sound economics I would happily vote for them at this point.

There must be millions of politically homeless folk like me out there.

 

[TinFoilHat]

I'm shocked...

Well not that shocked.

 

[urban genie]

Yeah, I was just agreeing with your post to Urban Genie that he was unforgettable.

well I had forgotten he was deputy PM, not that he exists

 

[M18CTID]

Reform won't get in based on just your one vote, vote for which you think is best.

True enough mate. Unless there’s only 1 vote in it ;)

 

[blueinsa]

Last desperate actions of a leadership team on borrowed time.

 

[Really_here]

I'm shocked...

Well not that shocked.

We now truly are in a dictatorship. Cancel a whole bunch of local elections cos you might lose. Don't select the best candidate for a by-election because the winner might challenge your position. Never ever answer a question at PMQ's and just repeat your "successful policies"....

 

[TinFoilHat]

People need to vote Green now. Keep the fascists out.

 

[ballbag]

He'll change his mind about it soon anyway.
