The Labour Party

I think it's as bad as this:

Abbott is seen as 'spoiling the brand/image.'

That seems to be how these people think. They are out to attract as many Tories as possible and if that means binning left-wingers who stick their head above the parapet, they will.

It's a kind of commercial decision. The sort of thing a supermarket does when it drops a brand because not enough of its customers want it.

Agreed. It’s a simple calculation in terms of attracting voters and also cuts off an avenue of attack by the Tories.

Personally, I always liked Abbott. Didn’t always agree with her, but she deserved to be treated with greater respect. Politics is a harsh business.

I just don’t think certain parts of the left want the opportunity to have a say in this country, it’s all about ideology and ego. They did very well and took control of the party, lost miserably in the election(s) and are now full out to try and bring Labour down.

If I was them, I’d wait until Labour got in government and then use their influence to ensure they deliver for their people. However, seems they don’t want that, they’d rather sit on the sidelines crying into their bitter.

Keith won the leadership election with many a "left wing" pledge, then went back on them, they have every right to say wtf?

That would be a perfectly good reason to shun her but I'm confident that's not why Starmer is doing so. The boring vacuous twat can't even make the right decision for the right reason and be honest about it.

I just want Labour to get themselves together they will be running the country very soon, and here they are again starting a bar fight.

Don't get me wrong. I would rather have a Government full of technocrats. I have far more faith in her than any other Chancellor post Alistair Darling. I mean I just cannot warm to her as a person. She's a bit cold. Just an observation rather than suggesting she is not right for the job.

Seems sensible on the surface but isn’t. The only difference between technocrats and communists is the technocrats get there quicker, are more upfront about it, and with a little less of the mass murders.
 


So look who's trying to hide their friendship to Israel. Screenshot this list, it will completely disappear online eventually.

So you can ignore racism when it suits gotcha.

I sometimes fall prey to understanding and sympathy.

You attack someone long enough, invariably on the basis of race and gender, then sometimes they allow the hurt and frustration to drive them and bite back. Am I obliged to agree with how they retaliate? No. Do I understand why? Yes.

Make of this what you will. I’m confident it will reflect your own frustrations and experiences.

Cool story and I'm sure you apply it to people outside of the Labour Party,:-)
