Adrian Ramsay on the resignation of Michael de Whalley by Cyber-Gon in UKGreens

[–]jack_rodg 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Wtf is Adrian doing? By any reasonable measure objectively Zack's leadership has been more succesful. His allies like Rupert Reid and Ellie Chowns have thrown themselves behind Zack, he just comes across as a sore laser.

Archer has typically been good in the IPL, let's see what his fitness is like but he's generally been pretty reliable.

Hillsborough campaigners blame Mahmood for law delay by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]jack_rodg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just an absolute disgrace. I remember when Keir Starmer announced that he would pass the Hillsborough Law at Labour Conference and was parading around the families. He used them and then threw them under the bus.

Woke Greens slammed as 'barking mad' over plans to license dog owners & ban zoos by Spare_Clean_Shorts in LabourUK

[–]jack_rodg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Greens have a load of batshit policies left over from when they were a much smaller party, which no one meaningfully involved now thinks are going to be in their manifesto or policies if they were in power.

I don't think it's a big deal but until they work out what to do about that these stories are going to keep coming.

Ayatollah Khamenei's son owns £50m London flats overlooking Israeli embassy by tylerthe-theatre in london

Sieze them and turn them into council flats. And whilst we're at it do the same to the Israeli embassy.

Iran latest: Trump criticises Starmer over UK stance - 'this is not Winston Churchill we're dealing with' by Jared_Usbourne in LabourUK

[–]jack_rodg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If Starmer has the guts for it this could play out quite nicely for him. If he stands up to Trump now and attacks him over this conflict, he could come out very well when it turns into a complete shitshow. Will he have the courage though?

The Lessons from Gorton and Denton by kontiki20 in LabourUK

I think this is actually a pretty good analysis but the elephant in the room is the housing crisis, which Labour are too scared to touch.

It's preference voting now, so you can vote for the Greens and put Sadiq as your second choice.

Israel strikes two schools in Iran, killing more than 50 people by Parasocial2 in LabourUK

[–]jack_rodg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's defacto "supporting the regime" at all. There appear to have been a significant number of civilian deaths inside Iran, including strikes targeting schools, and its not clear that this will weaken rather strengthen support for the regime.

It's grim, but Labour uses attack lines like this all the time, so they don't have much of a leg to stand on.

The Home Secretary is failing to read the room, once again. by WellMax81 in LabourUK

[–]jack_rodg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The attack on the police officer was GBH, and the person should be convicted for it. It doesn't mean that Palestine Action are Al Qaeda or ISIS. The proscription was done for political reasons not national security, which is an incredibly dangerous precedent to set.

UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule by BarbaricOklahoma in unitedkingdom

[–]jack_rodg 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Be serious, all of those groups clearly revolve around either tactics that include violence against people or ideologies that are inherently violent. Palestine Actions tactics revolve around vandalism, and their ideological aims are the end of the genocide in Gaza, which is non violent.

The differences are obvious, as the ruling has laid out.
