The Labour Party

[TinFoilHat]

Not sure what Streeting has done to deserve the abuse he gets from some other than not being a Corbynite.

He's a Tory bastard. Shadow Health sec being paid by American health lobbyists.

Self edit: Also 'met' the ****. He patronised CLP members with his speech and his answers to the questions he told us we knew fuck all in a roundabout way.

I can see why you like him.

‘Our friend’: How the Israel lobby spent £30,000 on Wes Streeting

Labour’s shadow health secretary has a long history of supporting Israel going back to his days at the National Union of Students—and has been rewarded handsomely for it.

Thanks.
That explains why those that judge everyone and everything through the prism of the Israel-Palestine conflict don’t like him.
Should have guessed.

Self-awareness? The post I replied to you brought up Corbynism for no apparent reason. I'm not sure Corbynism exists anymore apart from in heads like yours. He's expelled from the party and his running against it, his former shadow Chancellor and Home secretary lie prostrate before the new leader.

Maybe the man has no moral compass. He was happy for the supposed party of the trade union movement to take money from a company against trade unions.

In April 2016 Streeting criticised the Labour Party for refusing a £30,000 donation from McDonald's. According to Labour, the refusal was due to the company's poor record on worker's rights and hostile stance towards trade unions.

Why not - Seems to be the norm nowadays against any politician

yeah but he is a ****

 

[threespires]

Streeting strikes me as yet another politician who wants to be PM to fix something psychologically missing or conflicted within them. Political careers as therapy for misfits has cost us enough over the years, instead of facilitating or even encouraging them we should improve access to therapists and save ourselves a lot of bother.

I used Corbynite as a generic term to describe former Labour supporters who have spent the last 4 years slagging off the current Labour leadership. If you can think of a better descriptor feel free to suggest one.
Actually don’t bother.

It's time to move on from Corbyn and let it go. You defeated him, you won. He would have most likely lost anyway.

I have no issues with Corbyn and take no pleasure in his ‘defeat’, as you put it. He had his time and the movement failed to be embraced by the country.

We move on and Labour now have a chance to make a difference. If they make it, let’s then see where we are in a few years and judge whether they’ve achieved anything better than what we have now.

I think it’s those that spend their time slagging off the current Labour leadership that need to move on. Corbyn is an irrelevance as far as I’m concerned.

Mentioning Corbyn is fucking tragic.

Just embarrassing yourself now digging up posts from the Tory Party thread.

That's a fair view but I wasn't talking about all centrist dads.

You're not the one doing an impression of an indignant Peter Mandelson.

 

[Don Karleone]

Can the left stop talking about Corbyn, please? Didn't ask him about his relationship with Epstein though, obviously.

So you don't agree with yourself? Maybe go back in time and have a word with your past self?

Dr Kobayashi prescribes a rubbed band. Every time you think of Evil Santa you pull the band.

I’ve not been going on about him. As I said I used the adjective “Corbynite” to describe those former supporters that spend their time criticising Starmer and the current Labour leadership.

The fact that you’ve dug up a context free 2 year old post from the Tory thread where I was criticising them for going on about him all the time is a bit desperate.

You’re just making yourself look really stupid now.

You might want to find a new label then?

Do you think the posters you've grouped together would usually object to Streeting's private sector solutions or are only doing so because Jeremy Corbyn told them to?

 

[west didsblue]

Maybe I should. However it’s generally the same people who criticise Starmer at every opportunity and who believe the Labour Party no longer represents them. The descriptor I used probably isn’t perfect but it probably captures their views reasonably accurately.

Having read @TinFoilHat ’s post I don’t think the former Labour leader has anything to do with it in Streeting’s case but I never said it did.

 

[Postman Pep]

Why do I despise Wes Streeting?

Shit like this mainly.

 

[hilts]

Can I just say Wes Streeting is a ****?

Yes

Yes you can


Edit

Don't mention Corbyn though

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Met a couple who live in Islington North (fairly typical Metropolitan Labour types) this weekend, who will both be voting for Corbyn, even though one of them thought he was a disastrous leader of the Labour Party, because he is a fucking good constituency MP. This assessment of his performance as an MP did not surprise me.

For me, the more independent/Green MPs we end up with, the better.
