Maybe #Labour people feel smug after the Tories' self-indulgent misery-fest. They shouldn't. Theirs was a state too.
A load of people gathering for a self-congratulatory slap on each others' backs, having achieved the square root of jack nothing.
Come back when you've halved child poverty or created the National Parks. Until then, take a good look at yourselves and your smuggery.
Spare me the beardsplaining, the borderline sinister fervour, the extra promises on top of all the other ones that can't be paid for.
Spare me the door-to-door with the spending pledges machine-gunned all over the place, that everyone knows are just a load of drivel.
Yeah, Corporation Tax will rake in all that cash. Except it won't. You know that. I know that. Everyone knows that.
Be my guest. Mouth off with the false hopes, the big noise and the aspirations-that-never-will-be. You'll reap the whirlwind soon enough.
Indulge the #Brexit evasions, the creeping takeover and the side order of overt, virulent racism. You go ahead. We can all see you.
Productivity? A Ministry of Labour, nationalisation and some policy tourism on business governance they don't understand. Don't call us, eh?
Ageing? Some sticking-plaster money and some hot air. They won't keep your gran warm in the winter, by the way.
#Brexit? Which particular policy would you like this hour or minute? Useless and spineless.
All the while coming out with policies that will make inequality *worse*, not better, stuck to sanctimonious claims to goodness. Sickening.
Save me from gaslighting outriders, a 'new' (old) hateful media, that stupid chant, all the refusal to engage, the sickly certainties.
Know what? Callaghan tried to wargame things out in Opposition during 1963-64. Didn't prevent his collision with reality. Won't stop yours.
Loads of ppl inside #Labour feel ashamed. Sure they do. Cat's got their tongue at the moment. Funny what some success can do.
