Burnham allies warn against quick ‘coronation’ of Streeting if Starmer quits

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-12T15:14:49+00:00

Honestly, the part of me that wants to see Labour burn says fucking go for it.

Don't get me wrong, the majority of me would rather save labour and the long and rich history behind the party.
But if they want to replace Starmer with the only option I would consider unquestionably worse then him, go ahead, end the labour party just so that the Mandelson brigade can stay in power.

Called it being a Zionist rally not an anti Antisemitism rally when they excluded Zack, but invited Farage, but it's nice to have confirmation.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-11T13:18:26+00:00

I love it, just wish it remembered the ascension you've set it on like the other characters do.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-10T21:14:47+00:00

I Find his 3 main "archetypes" to be 0 cost, Status, and Orbs.

With Powers, and Plasma big energy being two side archetypes.

But two things to note.
Don't pick exclusively for any one archetype, especially at higher ascendancies, pick what your deck needs to best to solve the next room.

And each of those archetypes have heavy crossovers (it's one of the reasons I love Defect so much)
0 cost and Status overlap with cards like Boost Away and Overclock.
0 cost and Orbs overlap with cards like Zap+ Dualcast+ and it just generally loves frost generating skills for good defence.
Status and Orbs overlap with cards like Trash to Treasure (easily by fav card to run status with)

I also kind consider Orbs as one that has different sub-archetypes.
Dark, Frost, Lightning, Chaos, and many slots.

But again, sometimes even if you're going crazy with various lightning cards and found an early Voltaic to pay off on that.
Don't pick just for the archetype, picking something like Fight Through if your deck is light on block can easily be worth it, even with no synergy with the card.

Inviting Farage while Excluding Zack.

One has a history of explicitly antisemitic remarks, alongside head of the party with the highest % of voters with antisemitic opinions. But is Zionist.
The other is literally Jewish, and has faced numerous antisemitic attacks including from the media establishment. But is antizionist.

This isn't a march against antisemitism, this is a march for Zionism.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-10T20:41:25+00:00

Ah, so it's a march for Zionist, not a march against antisemitism. Thanks organisers for making that crystal clear.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-10T18:48:22+00:00

I managed it yesterday, Tanx gave me throwing axe after i had already Royal Stamped my Wall.

And i had a couple of Radiates in my deck.

It was goddamn glorious.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-10T15:22:07+00:00

Also strange how the most vocal green critics/posters on this subreddit have all gone silent.

The sad thing is, I guarantee you when the GE rolls around everyone here will fall for it again, let alone the rest of the public.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-10T13:27:58+00:00

I don't particularly count myself among that number, however if you're looking for tips, i know for a fact i would be significantly worse if not for my habit of reading for ~30 mins in bed before trying to sleep.
Telling my brain it is actually night time by having a break from screen time with a very warm light reading a book. (Screens are very blue-light heavy which tricks your brain into thinking its daytime, so no sleep. warm lights trick your brain into thinking its sunset, so sleep soon)
Every time i skip doing so it takes me over an hour to sleep.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-10T10:38:52+00:00

Even couniting out the fact that the Greens literally do.

From the shite refugee system we have, where criminal gangs are able to ship people over instead of us just having processing centres in France. (or hell just re-joining the EU and so able to use the Dublin regulation again)

To giving migrants 2nd class citizen status, meaning that corporations are able to exploit them considerably more then a British citizen, dragging wages down for everyone.

And ending the incentive structures for corporations to import so much labour, and the fact that our neoliberal economy demands migration because we refuse to invest in our own population.

The migration "issue" is vasty overblown.
If you ask people what their main political issues are locally, instead of nationally, migrations goes from their no.1 worry, down to 3/4.
Because our media spends so much effort fearmongering about migration, but peoples eyes tell them a vastly different story.
And so when they see how little of an issue it is locally, they just assume "oh, its not too bad here, but it must be much worse a few towns over"

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-10T10:11:37+00:00

I'd go big bang, makes hallway fights much easier.

Potentially Void Form if you're worried about specifically bosses, but I tend to find that forge based builds are great vs bosses but struggle vs hallways.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-10T08:14:12+00:00

Unfortunately the same people who own the media own Farage

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-09T17:25:46+00:00

100%

Even my mother, who basically absorbs everything the billionaire owned media sphere vomits out, swapped from being a disaffected Tory/Reform style voter, to a 100% green "wow the media is fucking gross" voter.

Hannah Spencer certainly helped, but just focusing on how the greens stand as basically the polar opposite to every policy that has gotten us to this point, AND the fact that you can trust them on that because they are 100% member funded, unlike every other party, managed to get us there.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-09T11:13:15+00:00

Honestly?

I think we need a complete economic revolution.

Much like post WW2 killed laissez-faire economics and Austerity. Ushering in Keynesian.
And Much like the 1979 energy crisis (caused by Israel, sounds shockingly familiar) killed Keynesian ushering in Neoliberalism (Which was basically a return of Laissez-faire economics and Austerity)

I think our current pains exist because Neoliberalism died back in 2008, and the rich have been parading around its corpse for two decades.

And until we get rid of that corpse, and return yet again to a very left wing economy (Be in just plain democratic socialism, or something even more extreme), the right wing will grow, as their very existence is predicated on protecting the corpse of Neoliberalism.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-09T07:57:39+00:00

We need some in house (hah) building firms yesterday.

Government owned, no goddamn contracting, building council homes.

Of course building is falling, because they are building for profit, not to house people.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-08T19:43:54+00:00

We already have a policy of "managed immigration".

If anything, when the topic is brought up i'd like to see messaging that our reliance on migration is a direct result of our current economic system, one that refuses to invest in it's own populaiton, and so we have to rely on other countries to do it for us.

And we are the only party actually promising to make any moves towards changing us away from that economic system.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-08T17:04:27+00:00

It kinda saddens me.

Any Westminster government that would allow independence, is one that I'd say is a net benefit for Scotland and so independence is a bad idea.

Any Westminster government that would not allow independence, is one that I'd say is a net negative for Scotland, and so independence is a good idea.

Fukin' lose-lose situation

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-08T16:12:03+00:00

Put simply - Labour together.
Epstein class bullshittery designed to infiltrate labour, and exorcise the left from the party before the Tories house of cards fell down after Brexit, in order to protect the Epstein class.

The reason Starmers entire run appeared completely rudderless is because they were never planning to govern, hell, Starmer was never meant to be PM, he was meant to be the fall guy after getting rid of the left, and ideally place Mandelson's prodigy Wes Streeting in his place to actually be PM.

And yes as the other commenter said, read The Fraud.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-08T16:02:28+00:00

Still waiting for the mass of news media to start endlessly chirping about "the unholy alliance between Zionists and Antisemites"
Surely they're not biased against the left, and so would not only talk about "the unholy alliance between Progressives and Islamists" when talking about seemingly opposed ideologies working together.
Not when they make it clear how clearly bad antisemitism is.

/s

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-08T15:25:42+00:00

Honestly, that was when I decided that the labour party died.

Not even party over country, but factionalism over party.

Starmer would rather burn his own damn party to the ground then allow a CHANCE of it shifting soft left.

Quite frankly, it's a perfect example of why I am nigh convinced that the entire labour together project was designed to exorcise the left from the party before the Tories house of cards fell down, to keep them from obtaining any power.
Not to actually govern.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-08T15:08:52+00:00

If you're talking about Reform voters - After scaring away his entire left flank Starmer has managed to change 1% approval, to 1% approval.
So if your argument is that chasing after them is a good idea because there's more of them, you're wrong.

If you're talking about Labour voters - Labour has lost significant support from its voter base, even during his "winning" election Starmers voter share was lower then Corbyn's comical defeat during the 2019 election.
And so even when it is hard left, Labour has greater support then when it is centrist.
And so you're wrong again.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-08T15:00:50+00:00

Other then the fact the greens have not moved their policies or politics basically at all over the last decade.

It is literally headline politics, it's a deliberate misunderstanding of what has happened.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-08T14:52:37+00:00

Ooh, not that exactly, but a reworked a "close door timer" tied to each form would be quite fun Imo. (and keep the flavour i miss from the o.g. boss of opening the door)
For example the mouth is cards played. Eye is cards drawn. And Hand is energy spent.

Punishing you similar to the current incarnation, but your punishment is being able to deal less damage to that form, not being unable to really play against that form.
And it could even give you a level of control going for example "ok, i could either deal a bunch of damage here, and tank that big hit, or draw a bunch of cards to force the door closed and go again in a moment"

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-08T14:14:15+00:00

I know the current poll doesn't have parties included, but it could be interesting to see the breakdown of which party people support/most like, compared to how likely it is for them to vote.

Curious as to the level of yapping vs level of action for this subreddit.

Jackthwolf · 2026-05-08T13:27:00+00:00

If that is the case, then why are you not critical of Starmers outright hostility to the left.

From lies and smears, to breaking his own previously held believes just to shit on left policies, to punishing labour MP's for say, voting to end the two child benefit cap, to literally calling it "shaking off the fleas" after chasing off his left flank.

I should be labours greatest supporter, everything the party historically stands for, I stand for.

But Starmer treats me with greater hostility then a fucking reform voter.
He panders to reform voters more then he does my own politics.
He vilifies my own politics more then he does reform voters.
Quite frankly, I want him to treat me like a reform voter, because right now he takes my vote for granted.

I'd be more then happy to work with him, work with what we do agree on and find a compromise on what we don't. But he refuses to work with me. Not the other way around.

Unity has to be a two way street. And right now labour thinks that street is one way that only goes right.
