The Labour Government

[Eccles Blue]

I'm supporting Lucy Powell for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.
a) because she is a Manchester Politician, born and raised/educated in Manchester
b) and even more important... she is a MANCHESTER CITY supporter!!
c) we need more Northern MPs in the top jobs.

I don't agree with everything that Burnham says but I do agree with his statement about London bias.

She ticks all the boxes to charm Mango Shitgibbon in a bad mummy type of relationship

@BobKowalski with his finger on the political pulse yet again

He was great in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

We all know Badenoch is a total disaster as Tory leader but the extracts from her flag draped media feed currently being aired by Sky are excruciating.

 

[Brooklands Blue]

Very much doubt that

Mandy will not be short of offers as a political advisor to a multi national given the power he still has within the labour. Just like that buffoon Johnson etc.

Might confuse Starmer having a City fan second to an Arsenal one.

I’d rather our country did the right thing and not appoint someone based on an existing relationship

The ‘moral’ right thing or the ‘practical’ right thing? Essentially, it is a choice between Realpolitik or taking a moral stance which is potentially injurious to your own interests.

On balance, I favour Realpolitik. Trump is a reality we have no choice but deal with and minimise any harm to ourselves. Do I like it? No, but I recognise the need to be pragmatic.

You pay your money and make your choice at the end of the day.

I hate this sucking up to Trump. He doesn’t give a shit about us and we need to wise up

A lot of this damage to Starmer could have been avoided if Mandy had done the decent thing when the new emails were leaked.

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

What I find staggering is that after 14 years in opposition the Labour Party learnt nothing in their time in opposition as to what to expect from the media and how to deal with it. Their personal and collective decision making has been abysmal and has been like a party at the end of its term rather than one just starting it

Amazing isn’t it. Almost like they spent all that time making absolutely no plans whatsoever.

That's why Uncle Joe had the right idea, bump em off before they get up to any more mischief.

Agree, but Starmer appointed him knowing his history

Behave. Mandelson was never going to do the decent thing. His main qualification for the job was never doing the decent thing.

Anyone who uses the phrase 'Mango Shitgibbon' is 12 years old and supports Labour.

I beg your pardon? Fact is Harriet Harman has just publicly stated that this was what Starmer advised and expected, according to Beth Rigby Keir is 'furious' that he didn't.

I'm not sure decent and Mandy belong in the same sentence:-).

Starmer is utterly spineless isn't he?

Interesting, but Starmer was being a little naive in his expectation. You hire a dog to bite people, so don’t be surprised when it eventually bites you.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Two Northern born females up for deputy leader.

Who knew?

I said…ah never mind I was being flippant. And has your post changed or am I imagining things?
