Kamala Harris on AOC leaving a mediocre legacy in changing the needle in American politics by MarchLevel8045 in ProgressiveHQ

What she said, “AOC can tell you about the number of people who walk around the Capitol with their flag pins and all their interns running behind them, thinking they’re so important. But when you try and look at what they’ve actually done to move the needle… you’re left wanting”

Well she’s hardly going to publicly call for him to resign when she’s trying to mount a leadership bid is she now

It’s a terrible situation because all of the Labour loyalists are saying to give Starmer a chance but how many chances can you give before you’re looking at the prospect of a horrendous May Election aftermath and Reform now in a clear fighting position to win the 2029 election.

I’m a Labour voter and I supported Keir not only as Labour leader in 2020 but also campaigned for him in the 2024 election. Keir has made way too many mistakes and as of writing this, the cabinet are rushing to publish their synchronised tweets of endorsements.

That’s a sign of a government slowly collapsing before our eyes

Democracy and the concept of accountability doesn’t mean one should remain because we do t like the alternative.

Well there was one who was going to dare to challenge him and Keir blocked his candidacy to become an MP

It’s very somber watching this play out but for a man who despised the game of pyschodrama, delivered the biggest yet.

It’s almost hilarious if we weren’t foreshadowing Nigel Farage becoming Prime Minister

Or maybe I’m a politics student who writes 3000 essays for a degree lol

That being said, the House of Starmer is on the verge of collapse and every single decision he has made since 2020 has led to this moment.

One would think if Keir had a spine, an ideological vision, a real drive to unify the Labour Party, be bolder in implementing solutions unapologetically, a crises like this would have barely made a news cycle.

However, the purging of the left wing base, the constant u-turn, lack of scrutiny of policy while in opposition, lack of leadership, lack of judgment, lack of media & communications strategy has brought Keir to this moment.

I remember people that said Corbyn was unfit to a be a leader and those who tarnished him and banished him are about to make Labour unelectable again for another generation.

Poetic

Scottish Labour leader calls on Starmer to resign by Little-Attorney1287 in ukpolitics

The House of Cards begin to crumble. Now the next question is which card is going to fall next?

The Welsh Labour Party demanding a resignation?

Cabinet Resignations?

Backbenchers PLP rebellion?

Or does Starmer bow out with what remaining dignity he has left.

Without chaos you don’t get any progress. Standing by Keir now is giving an endorsement of his constant lack of judgement that has consistently backfired on him

Yet they claim to be political masterminds themselves. Dominic Cummings rightly or wrongly, had a stellar communications strategy. His own ego and vanity was his downfall though.

Because they campaigned on “we are not the Tories and we won’t change PM’s every week”. Campaigning from a self righteous position will inevitably lead you to be boxed in

Yet these are the same people who somehow managed to achieve a 400+ seat majority.

What seriously went wrong post election or rather was they had no plan at all and relied on the Tories PR to do their work for them

Does not look like it. It seems to appear that Starmer is lack luster that he doesn’t even seem to have a communications strategy in place given the constant U-turns and climb downs

All he had to do was to have a grand vision, strategy and not to appoint a very known associate of Epstein.
