The Labour Government

[metalblue]

Farage is a bigger threat than the Tories for Labour.

Farage is like marmite, people either love or hate him. Majority of people hate him. I suppose the main risk is they somehow hold enough seats to act as king maker in a coalition.

Good.

If the Tories waltz back in with Badenoch at the helm then Labour will only have themselves to blame.

Or the electorate actually look at themselves and what they are voting for, for a change.

 

[remember arthur mann]

14 years of Tories starving our public services for their own gain. The whole system is on the verge of collapse.

Health, education, justice, transport, infrastructure.

Starmer and Labour will be blamed for the Tory greed and people will fall for it.

Labours messaging has been piss poor and letting the RW media control the narratives.

10 years minimum without any external influences like the international rise of fascism is needed to even build the foundations of stability.

Next GE will be a joke if the Tories waltz back in by blaming labour for their fuckkery with social media and their media mates complicit in lieing to the electorate.

Labour are a bit like City.

Posted this in the Trump thread but perhaps should go in here.

Trump has just announced 25% trade tariffs with……..
Mexico and Canada!
A trade deal, he signed in his first term, he’s blowing up on the first day of his next one.
Surely Starmer has got to get back into the single market asap?

Hopefully Garage and Reform are so closely linked to the orange buffoon they’ll all be hoist by their own petard.

No access to the single market without freedom of movement.

Would be quite difficult to sell it to the more paranoid and bigotted members of society at this point in time.

We're both currently stuck in a 90's tribute act?

I suspect that there’d be quite a bit of support, regardless.

There would be, but the people that call themselves the silent majority would become a vocal and riot-ous minority.

Labour are up against it in controlling the narrative as the media in this country has degenerated into an absolute shitshow, nonetheless they are absolutely useless at it to boot too. It's unfortunate that neither Starmer nor Reeves have oratory as one of their strengths but ignoring that, just things like to the strategy to use the specific 22billion number struck me as odd, both too easy to nit pick and too abstract at the same time.
