A right wing country would have very low taxation
You think too much of the tories if you believe their low tax ideology extends down to everybody. We already are a very low tax country for the wealthiest people.

Labour are odds on to win the next election.
Workers rights are different to trade Union rights, not everybody is in a union.
Had he ousted his detractors I wouldn't have said he was authoritarian. I would have said he was a strong leader. I am not sure I would agree with his actions, but that wasn't your question.
Why was nobody else being asked that question by Andrew Neil? The Conservative Party had higher rates of AS than Labour and the Lib Dems similar. To respond to Neil's loaded question would be to concede defeat to the scam.OK, he was asked directly several times by Andrew Neil if he would like to apologise and he didn't. The quote above isn't an apology.
Maybe but if you want to be Prime Minister you need to be able to answer difficult questions and yes I realise that since then PM's have avoided questions by avoiding the interviews themselves.Why was nobody else being asked that question by Andrew Neil?

Loaded questions are different from dificult ones, but your second clause negates your first one anyway.Maybe but if you want to be Prime Minister you need to be able to answer difficult questions and yes I realise that since then PM's have avoided questions by avoiding the interviews themselves.
It doesn't really unless you want to take political judgement out of politics.Loaded questions are different from dificult ones, but your second clause negates your first one anyway.
I agree. What’s the alternative then? There isn’t one.Well that's my point all the way through this thread. Yes Labour might win an election or two. But Starmers not going to change our direction of travel. Streetings already confirmed he'll carry on privatising the NHS. The process may slow down for 5 or 10 years but the tories will get back in as they always do and we'll drift further and further to the right.
You a socialist bumface? You certainly don't come across as oneYeah. That's exactly what I said. As if I'd ever vote for them. No point in voting Labour if they're no different to the Tories. You'd just be replacing one turd with another. Put Zarah Sultana in charge and I'll even campaign for them again. They can f*ck right off as things stand. Tory-lite @rse-holes.

And if Starmer wants to carry on this Neoliberal profit and big business first then I don’t know if in 2years people’s will get out in enough numbers to elect him a majority win
Of course it does:-It doesn't really unless you want to take political judgement out of politics
No we are not because the public react to it. The threat of a Labour government pulls the political agenda to the left, nobody should ever underplay the importance of the Labour movement in keeping this country civilised for working people even when out of power.That's where we're headed.
That was then, this is now, and the Labour party is not ruling out further outsourcing of the NHS. Keir Starmer hasn't got a socialist bone in his body, as as witnessed by his interference with the selection process in so many Labour seats (something he pledged he'd never do). He's an establishment man and the establishment are quite comfortable having him there.The threat of a Labour government pulls the political agenda to the left, nobody should ever underplay the importance of the Labour movement in keeping this country civilised for working people even when out of power.

The Tories hate the nhs, hate any taxation, hate any public spending, they only do it because they think they have to to get into power,
But Sunak and co are finished now, there should be a good period ahead for Labour to repair some of the damage caused by the Tories.
I've asked plenty of times but nobody has ever defined what or who the establishment is but I suppose it's a good soundbite.He's an establishment man and the establishment are quite comfortable having him there.

Do they meet every Wednesday at the Community Centre?
BoroFur already knows all of that. He's just being a silly Billy again.From Collins Dictionary: "a group or class of people having institutional authority within a society, esp those who control the civil service, the government, the armed forces, and the Church: usually identified with a conservative outlook.
From Wiki: The Establishment is a term used to describe a dominant group or elite that controls a polity or an organization. It may comprise a closed social group that selects its own members, or entrenched elite structures in specific institutions. One can refer to any relatively small class or group of people who can exercise control.
