19 Leicester Councilors Stood Down.

Love border collies, cleverest dogs in the world. Warmest too.
Have you started wearing dogs to keep warm? There are other options. A duffle coat, or a donkey jacket for a start. I've heard that camel boots are in this year. Don't get confused mate. I googled it and a camel boot isn't the same thing as a camel toe. They look just like crap DMs.
 
Not really. I've just generalised as opposed to calling an individual an idiot.
They used to stand on the High Row in Darlo when I was a kid, That was the uniform. Add long greasy hair and no girlfriends and you're getting there.

All tongue in cheek of course but if anyones getting really worked up about being accused of wearing duffle coats and camel boots I'm really really triple really sorry.

When were you a kid, may I ask?
 
What do you want? Realistically?

The concept of a mandate? If a Labour MP is going to present themselves to the membership as for nationalisation, progressive taxation, working with the unions, equality, transferring power to local gov, etc they really shouldn't then have their chancellor saying nationalisations not happening on her watch, the health secretary talking about outsourcing NHS waiting lists to private companies, be whipping the party to vote against a corporation tax increase, have an MP like Duffield tweeting insults at LGBT people for months, and have the NEC overruling CLPs on candidate selection constantly.

I don't see it as an unrealistic expectation that MPs might have a shred of honesty at least with the paying members of their own party. In the 2015 and 2016 leadership elections everybody knew where Burnham, Cooper, Kendall, Corbyn and Owen Smith stood.

Here's a question for you. If what Starmer is actually like as a leader is so great, why did he need to lie so much in his leadership election? 🤷‍♂️

And what did that do?

Took away the tories majority and then led to a record number of government defeats in parliament. Weren't you just saying you're all about beating the tories? :unsure: but the only general election where Labour have gained seats this century was a bad thing?
 
Which values?

The Corbyn is my friend or Corbyn was never a friend

We need to be in favour of freedom of movement or freedom of movement needs to end

Extinction rebellion is important and we need to act or they need locking up and sentences increasing

Hs2 needs stopping or HS2 needed to start in the north?

Striking workers need political support as do unions or the strikers should not be supported form Labour

Begum should be given the right to return or the home office was right to deny her entry to return?

Linekar was wrong to speak out or the BBC shouldn't have suspended him?

Cassandra d*ck was leading the MET really well a month ago but now it needs reform 🤔

The sun is a paper i wouldn't speak to or the sun is a paper he would speak to

Utilities should be publicly owned or the private sector should run utilities

The NHS shouldn't have private companies using it to make profit or the private sector could be used to provide services and make a profit

The Iraq was was illegal or the Blair is a legend?

Honestly he's going to be a liability

Glad you have the same values, wait a second 🤔
Spot on EIB.
 
At least Starmer isn't anything like Charles Lynton I suppose. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Little wins.
At least Blair felt like a breath of fresh air but the "third-way" and New-Labour project was of it's time.

The problem now is the current lot are trying to replicate it without understanding why it went so wrong (domestically).

And Starmer can't carry the whole thing on the back of his charisma - Blair was a showman (along with everything else).

A breath of fresh air is one way of putting it I suppose. Had his pros and cons.
