The Tories have already won in the sense that their ideology is now so deeply embedded in their main opposition that they can lose elections for a generation and still have their interests advanced - as they did under New Labour. Anybody who isn't an institutionalised lifer knows it's game over for the Labour left.

They're either being intimidated into complacent silence on the big issues (hello Clive), or locked out of holding elected office altogether within the party's structures. It's over.

GB Energy is a golden public money pipeline to the private sector that won't even retail its own energy, and the NHS recruitment numbers are bullshit + without a plan to retain existing staff.

Thanks for playing. Don't get mad at the "student commies" for recognising the inherent flaws in this.

Really is striking how neither party in this conversation understands the issue they are talking about. Labour's plans have more holes than Swiss cheese, not that you'd ever know it when left to Laura K to interrogate.

Turns out he had no principles anyway, so what lesson does this teach us. Same old recycled lines to justify forever ratcheting to the right.

Not sure about this. 2020 leadership contest was bloodless and unless you were particularly Online at the time, there was no loud questioning of his credentials or background.

He still might have won against a more aggressive left preaching scepticism, but not as easily. I remember when squeezing the ten pledges out of him was considered a major concession to left policy, lmao.

Socialism is when you continue to sell off state assets to the private sector, and the more state assets you sell, etc. Monumentally stupid thread.

Yes because they functionally are. At the very least Starmer's Labour have proven themselves to be people you don't trust promises from.
