I think itā€™s time the Lib Dems acknowledge the festering sore of racist statue humping in their party.

I assumed the people moving to the liberals there were previously Labour people pissed off at Starmerā€™s crappy statue response but Iā€™ve not see what (if anything) the Lib Dems have said about it. Do they even have a leader at the moment?

#2468

My word this one

Has loads of replies that are ā€œgo Labourā€ or pro-Kier type stuff as if they havenā€™t noticed all the fascists lining up behind the Brexit Party and the Tories. (Also pretty ā€˜hilariousā€™ the Brexit party is still a thing when the Tories are enacting a no deal utter death Brexit like they wanted and canā€™t be stopped.)

Where else would you expect the former kippers to go?

I mean Iā€™m just saying itā€™s hardly great as an outlook when theyā€™re boosting too.

Margin of error movement in one poll. Not worth fussing over.

Fwiw, Ed Davey is their interim leader.

Canā€™t get all that bullshit from centrists about being desperate for an effective opposition out of my head. Doing absolutely nothing except for agreeing with the government half the time during probably the most chaotically awful period of British government in the post war period is not effective fucking opposition. Aaargh

Getting on board with this war memorial shit is tacit support for the far right that were out yesterday.
Fucking off the young black vote to try and get 10 racists back in stoke and Macclesfield.
Disgrace

Donā€™t worry, Starmerā€™s probably already done something to send them all to PC by now, anyway

Gotta be honest lads, Iā€™m getting pretty close to cancelling my membership. Whatā€™s the point in sticking around in a labour party that no longer represents my views? Not even sure Iā€™d vote for them at the moment. Probably just being reactionary but itā€™s such a shock to go from where we were 6 months ago to now.

I must be in a generous mood - I think that Starmerā€™s mob have gone with this petition thing because they want to avoid using too much capital standing up against something that Patel will probably do regardless and that will no doubt garner loads of negative headlines in the media.

In general though, I agree. Iā€™m sticking it out for now; I want to see what his actual platform looks like, but Iā€™ve got no enthusiasm at all for the leadership and their unwillingness to stand up for anything.

Thereā€™s NEC elections, and Iā€™m looking towards seeing what happens with those - not going to leave the party just because of one wing having primacy at present, but will be hard to maintain enthusiasm for electoral shit in the near future.

My local party is on a knife-edge of control between socialists/Momentum and drab moderates without vision beyond their fingernails - we fucked it at our last CLP AGM and lost all the votes by within 5 -0 so Iā€™d want to maintain membership for that at least. Bet365 funded boring-but-quietly-racist stepdad Keir, so the amount I give to Labour each month is small beer in the scheme of things.

Ffs. F, f and s.
why are centrists so uninterested in a labour recovery in Scotland?

#2483

Surely (if it makes you feel better) itā€™s Labour that are the reactionary ones? If they were more activist/progressive youā€™d want to be with them?
