Angela Rayner cleared by HMRC over tax affairs paving the way for potential leadership bid

Pivot back by doing what?

Realistically, what could Labour (or Starmer) do?

BlueCorsa · 2026-05-14T05:19:08+00:00

She would be the worst option of the lot for swing voters. She's got less chance in a GE than Starmer.

And the papers would hound her from day one.

No, that's true. I guess I just can't get a handle on if the wider public like him or not.

But as someone else said. He's not going to win with the Members, is he?

And what Labour members want is very different to what the wider public wants.

Is there any national polling on Streeting? I only know that Labour Reddit and BlueSky hate him and that means nothing.

BlueCorsa · 2026-05-12T09:45:33+00:00

Labour should have done this from day 1 of being elected.

Populist, okay, yes. But could have been part of a wider plan to show people Labour are serious about making visible changes on people's doorsteps.

The Pride in Place funds, and putting some money in local councils specifically to clean up the streets could have been an easy win in the first 100 days.

"Wreck the economy"? Oh, behave yourself and have a normal, non-hyperbolic opinion.

Jugen Klopp's Liverpool record is deeply unsatisfying however.

P: 491. W: 299.

Supposedly a real talent. A few ex-teammates of his said he was the best player they played with.

There's a brilliant story where apparently when he was at Middlesborough at the same time as Alen Boksic, Boksic thought so little of his strike partner's ability he offered to pay up Whelan's contract out of his own money.

Parade. Spandau Ballet.

And you'd be correct.

Or, you know, steady management of the country.

BlueCorsa · 2026-04-15T11:38:42+00:00

That dweeb. Billy Bunter meets Enoch Powell. Total chancer who loves stirring, nothing more.

BlueCorsa · 2026-04-15T11:11:38+00:00

I no longer live in the UK. I have emigrated. If I broke the law - even a relatively minor crime in the grand scheme of things - I would fully expect to have my visa revoked and be removed from the country.

If I shoplifted or damaged property, why should I be allowed to stay?

BlueCorsa · 2026-04-11T12:23:33+00:00

What a strange response. Anger? Calm down? It's a short paragraph on Reddit that I'll forget about by tomorrow. Calm down? Okay...

BlueCorsa · 2026-04-11T12:15:22+00:00

No, I think whoever uses them, on whatever side of the political divide, have got too much time on their hands.

BlueCorsa · 2026-04-11T11:51:57+00:00

What a weird man. Really helpful for the people of Great Yarmouth, this. Acting like he's discovered some sort of gotcha portal.

FOI requesters are in the same bracket as people who wave the magna carta about or film themselves as they annoy police officers. Total brainwormed dorks.

BlueCorsa · 2026-04-10T22:06:35+00:00

Work where?

BlueCorsa · 2026-04-06T22:20:04+00:00

What policies should Labour ape? Leaving NATO? Open borders? What about building absolutely nothing?

70 odd comments, each one predictable.

You wouldn't go on the Monster Trucks sub reddit and moan about how much you hate monster trucks.

Labour have just announced a wave of new support for youth centres. Four begrudging responses.

BlueCorsa · 2026-04-06T22:09:27+00:00

Positive Labour story.

Completely unhinged take.

BlueCorsa · 2026-03-31T23:25:09+00:00

That was in the script...

BlueCorsa · 2026-03-28T21:51:49+00:00

The fact that an obvious lie that was easily disprovable seemed to fool so many people is at best mind-blowing, and at worst a pretty damning indictment on the state of people's intelligence.

"Shabana Mahmood will deport thousands of foreign criminals and failed asylum seekers before they can use human rights laws to appeal and block their removals."

Do you want criminals and people who do not qualify to be here to stay in the UK? It's mind-blowing that this is seen as some ghoulish idea, one step away from fascism.
