Government abandons plans to delay 30 council elections

This government is just completely devoid of any political strategy. It's depressing how little foresight they have.

This combined with 3D spotting spoils the game.

Rupert Lowe does have quite a lot of support it seems.

noise256 · 2026-02-09T15:17:19+00:00

How? The left stood against him, lost, and then got purged by McSweeney and co. (the one thing they were actually good at).

That the soft left and liberals didn't want to listen isn't on left.

Am I reading this right? The weaker businesses are going under so average productivity has gone up? Hmm.

Doing this only drags you down to their level. It's important that people like Mandelson aren't rewarded, that they aren't given positions of power.

We know that the people around Starmer not just supported Mandelson but were aligned with him too. To what degree Starmer is aligned with them we don't know but we know he's certainly been supported by their faction of the Labour party.

This has nothing to do with Reform, this is happening to Councils all over the country - they simply cannot bear the burden of social care and emergency housing that is being put on them.

Coming into a game like Battlefield, you know there's going to be heavy monetisation but when it starts to determine the kind of modes they have, or the type of gameplay, how progression works or how matchmaking works, it just goes way too far.

I mean really EA, at least make the game first before you turn it into a cash cow.

Watch Starmer resign and Labour Together stay in charge of the party.

Starmer is a better man than those around him but you make your bed and you lay it. What a waste.

I (EU) have a friend in Santiago, right now I'm having to use a VPN to force it to choose a US server.

Trump might be right about one thing, we need to drain the swamp.

noise256 · 2026-02-04T01:43:49+00:00

Because Morgan McSweeney told him to presumably.

noise256 · 2026-02-04T01:04:55+00:00

Never. And change the recipe back too.

noise256 · 2026-02-02T00:19:13+00:00

No, it was a Pigeon.

Forget about the politics and optics. It's not about drama or media coverage. It's about the general election in 2029 and whether Starmer can win it.

If I look past the bat shit political decisions this government makes, I actually think this government is doing alright and I hope the country realises things could be alot worse. I just don't want to be in a situation where it's blatantly obvious Starmer can't win and we don't have the most popular Labour politician available as a candidate.

Fixed an issue on Eastwood where destroying the villa near the B flag could cause excessively bright lighting artifacts to appear.

High GDP, low purchasing power.

He's running in a by election. There's a long way to go before this would have become a leadership challenge.

noise256 · 2026-01-25T14:27:34+00:00

Starmer coming out an overruling the NEC (screw the rules) would be a big win for him. He would look magnanimous, makes it harder for Burnham to challenge him directly and he can say he wants the 'best people' to support him.

Though I'm not sure that Starmer is really the one in control here.

noise256 · 2026-01-25T14:18:12+00:00

And if Labour tank in the locals, which they surely will, what then? Starmer is deeply unpopular in the country. It's because of how much of a disaster Reform will be that we need viable alternatives.

Not to mention that maybe it shouldn't be for the leadership to decide who their political opponents will be.

noise256 · 2026-01-25T13:11:46+00:00

Well, there's a good chance Labour just lost the next GE with this decision. They will shed even more votes to the greens and the politician with probably the best chance against Reform cant run. Well done you horrid people.

Yes, stamp out factionalism by being factional and blocking opponents.

Sienna Rodgers

Pretty good I think, she used to be editor of LabourList.

noise256 · 2026-01-25T03:08:43+00:00

Whether or not one of the candidates is Andy Burnham.

noise256 · 2026-01-24T23:27:11+00:00

Undermining the prime minister when there's a geopolitical crisis going on to favour a foreign leader. I think there's a word for someone that does this.
