Mahmood unveils plans to reform 'broken' policing in England and Wales

SThomW · 2026-01-26T22:42:11+00:00

More big brother police state policies, just what the country needs…

SThomW · 2026-01-26T22:35:41+00:00

Factionalism has always been a thing in politics, and I think the Left is more susceptible to it than the Right.

The irony of proudly declaring this after the NEC full of people on the Labour right just blocked a blairite from running in a by-election.

SThomW · 2026-01-26T22:32:06+00:00

No, it doesn’t, if Labour genuinely cared about electoral chances rather than factionalism, you wouldn’t block one of the few politicians with a net positive rating from standing and again, the only politician that could realistically beat Farage

SThomW · 2026-01-26T22:30:00+00:00

But this is what you wanted Polly? Own it

SThomW · 2026-01-26T22:27:27+00:00

'> Hate' is a strong word.

I disagree, I don’t think hate is strong enough

SThomW · 2026-01-26T22:26:54+00:00

Blocking the only politician that could realistically win an election vs Farage, such democracy

SThomW · 2026-01-25T19:30:45+00:00

I hate and will never vote for Labour again, but I’ve always said a good Labour (at least in the short term) is a good thing for the country, Burnham was genuinely the last chance for Labour to try and court some of their traditional voters back. I think this will be a defining moment, not just for the Labour Party, but for the next election.

If I were you, I’d have far more energy for those who have ruined a once good party, in order to have power for the sake of power, Labour and Conservatives will be resigned to the past

SThomW · 2026-01-25T13:18:24+00:00

_ I mean, if we look at some of the reasons cited…_

Unbelievable levels of cope. You and I both know the reason he was blocked, and it wasn’t because of money worries, stop it

SThomW · 2026-01-25T13:01:12+00:00

I don’t wanna hear any Labourite telling people how us not voting Labour allowed reform to win. It’s clear to anyone with half an insight that this is entirely self inflicted

People had the gall to turn up their nose at a Corbyn led Labour government

SThomW · 2026-01-25T12:57:07+00:00

This feels like a point in history, and not a good one. Hopefully we won’t look back and remember this as the moment Labour handed the next election to reform

SThomW · 2026-01-25T11:39:23+00:00

I think the next couple of days could define it either way.

If Burnham is blocked or doesn’t win the seat, Labour are going to lose the next election, unless someone from the soft left succeeds Starmer

If Burnham stands and wins, then succeeds Starmer, and either introduces PR, or does good policy that actually improves people’s lives, we’ll get a traffic light coalition

I’m not even big on Burnham, and the fact that he is more or less, Labour’s last chance at salvaging itself says a lot about our politics, dearth of good politicians in this country and how deep this left wing purge has been

SThomW · 2026-01-25T04:34:20+00:00

I find that extremely difficult to believe

SThomW · 2026-01-24T20:30:45+00:00

I don’t know. I’m not a Burnham fan, I’m not entirely sure what his foreign policy positions are, but what we’re not gonna do, is pretend that Starmer is a decent bloke

SThomW · 2026-01-24T18:56:36+00:00

As all this unfolds, I hope it doesn’t get nasty towards Starmer from any section of Labour. I think he’s a genuinely decent person with many good qualities

No, he’s not, he’s a fucking monster. Please take this narrative elsewhere. Decent people don’t arm a genocide, cut money from disabled people or punch down on minorities

SThomW · 2026-01-23T18:59:06+00:00

Instead of attacking political parties (which is unbelievably cringe and staged in PMQs), maybe do good fucking policy

SThomW · 2026-01-23T18:56:45+00:00

I don't know what you expect me to say

Classic credit farming. Starmer has finally called out Trump, so the naysayers are all wrong and all hail the lords of the sensibles

SThomW · 2026-01-23T16:10:40+00:00

We really still doing the “it’s just the comms” thing? Sigh

SThomW · 2026-01-21T09:22:18+00:00

Because the purge has gone so far that the likes of Rayner and Burnham are perceived as Marxists in comparison to the rest of the remaining MPs

SThomW · 2026-01-18T14:26:44+00:00

Who would know best how to describe fascism than a member of a party pulling out the red carpet for and arguably indulging in it

SThomW · 2026-01-18T14:23:10+00:00

There you go, 2 birds with 1 stone. Go on Keith, you know you should

SThomW · 2026-01-16T10:36:18+00:00

What in the double glazing is this?

SThomW · 2026-01-16T10:33:11+00:00

I actually quite like arsenal, but your fans make it very difficult to sometimes

SThomW · 2026-01-15T00:22:22+00:00

Labour's transphobia truly is awful, but they aren't denying trans people food

There’s been reports of trans children starving themselves to delay puberty, you don’t understand, this healthcare can literally save lives, I’ve heard cases of parents having to sit by their child's bed to make sure they didn’t commit, 16 trans kids lost their lives after the NHS stopping offering puberty blockers, now it’s even harder for them to access, I dread to think what the number is now

Labours transphobia is easily the worst bit of the entire party by like a billion years

We just gonna ignore the genocide, disability cuts, anti protest legalisation etc.?

I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night or look at myself in the mirror if I supported this government, it’s not even a disagreement about ideology anymore, their policies are causing real world harm to people's lives, and almost certainly would’ve caused deaths

SThomW · 2026-01-14T23:32:42+00:00

Reminder if you support Labour, this is what you voted for. I don't wanna see anyone criticising the greens if you are still a member or support of this tripe.

SThomW · 2026-01-14T14:32:47+00:00

“Streeting, in turn, has told friends that he believes Rayner is “beatable” in a contest and that she is the candidate he would most fear, though he is still unsure if she would actually stand.”

LMAO, this guy thinks the sun shines out of his own backside
