The Labour Government

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.

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.
 
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.
 
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.

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