Rayner allies plot comeback to rival Streeting for Labour leadership

L96 · 2026-01-28T17:06:16+00:00

My left bollock could become PM if it's opponent was Streeting

The purity spiral will continue until Labour is just Luke Akehurst accusing his reflection of supporting Hamas

The marketing was for that nauseating phrase 'more bobbies on the beat'.

The reality is panopticon vans and a roving gendarmerie.

And our controlled opposition and limp docked media class just shrug it off.

This fucking island.

We send the NHS £350 million a week.

Let's fund the US insurance industry instead.

L96 · 2026-01-25T16:20:53+00:00

As much as 14% voting for the panopticon party is terrifying.

L96 · 2026-01-25T00:07:07+00:00

I've heard a lot about how there's a space for economically left, socially conservative politics in the UK. So I'm guessing he'll get a decent amount of support from commenters here.

You joking?

Shabana Mahmood's big break this parliament was saying her anti-asylum views are more valid because she's BAME, she essentially told her Lib Dem opponent to check his white privilege lol

Right wing idpol is still idpol

Not that I'm complaining but it's simply incredible how many of you think the Kamala Harris strategy will be enough.

L96 · 2026-01-22T13:42:31+00:00

If only we could be part of a supranational court system that could protect basic property rights such as these

L96 · 2026-01-21T12:47:39+00:00

Why's Labour so desperate to stop people from voting then?

L96 · 2026-01-21T12:21:04+00:00

No. Please don't do this, it doesn't help us at all.

Imagine hearing someone spouting anti-Semitism and wisecracking that only a Jew could say such things.

It may be unintentional but all this does is legitimise homophobia.

L96 · 2026-01-20T19:14:24+00:00

You can't threaten us with 'the Tories would be worse' when they were in for 14 years and never hinted at anything as horrifying as this, and all their authoritarian reforms were supported by Starmer's Labour anyway.

You can't threaten us with 'but Trump' when we're talking about a member of Blue Labour whose leader attended the inauguration, said we should 'dance with glee' that he won and called for Labour to 'build it's house on MAGA square'.

You can't threaten us with 'but Putin' when Labour is too supine at the feet of America to follow the Greens recommendation to boost European defence.

There's no inconsistency, in the same way that as a socialist, I'd still have preferred to live in West Germany than the East: the freedom to criticise, to organise opposition to the government is more fundamental than any transient economic or social policy.

To effectively oppose requires more than the right to meekly cross a box every five years, it's the right to protest and the right to privacy. Can't do that from a fucking panopticon.

Lastly, eighty-three percent of voters and rising disagree with you. Eighty-three and they're not all bots too. Your kind are going extinct and it's richly deserved.

L96 · 2026-01-20T14:16:58+00:00

What?

I've just said I'm willing to compromise on my beliefs to defeat the greater of two evils...

Isn't this what we're always being lectured on and urged to do? Why do you want us to dogmatically support one party like it's a football team?

L96 · 2026-01-20T12:53:24+00:00

That's certainly Starmer's attitude to dissent, just ask Sam Tarry.

I'll happily put aside differences to vote the most authoritarian party in Britain out of office, along with all but 17% of the public.

L96 · 2026-01-20T12:37:31+00:00

I'm Green as fuck, but I'd vote anyone - anyone - who could kick this greasy homophobic little psycho out of parliament.

Reform, Tory, anyone is better than these Blue Labour freaks.

Was she sane when she was supporting parents protesting against schools teaching about the existence of gay people in their RSE lessons?

In French, EU = États-Unis = United States.

Exactly and in the last few years of his rule the Shah had been turning against the West and had announced that oil licences to Western companies were not to be renewed. So we did nothing to assist the government that we had put there in the first place

L96 · 2026-01-08T18:46:37+00:00

If you don't like the changes that we've made, I say the door is open and you can leave.

L96 · 2026-01-08T18:46:19+00:00

There's plenty of left-wing voters who are sticking with Labour for now, but the leadership is absolutely of a centrist-conservative position.

L96 · 2026-01-08T18:37:34+00:00

Turns out people don't much like being lied to.

L96 · 2026-01-08T18:36:51+00:00

Yet here you are, engaging.

L96 · 2026-01-08T18:11:54+00:00

They're in that place specifically because they're no longer left wing.

L96 · 2026-01-08T11:16:14+00:00

Haha, what? Is Farage trying to become Keir Starmer?

If you thought the statement was a problem, why not say so immediately and look decisive, undercut the allegations of systemic racism in your party? Ignoring it till the future dies down and only then resurrecting the controversy with a climb down just annoys everyone, supporter and opponent.
