This weeks list of people to blame for pissing away a huge majority.
The leader of a political party with a grand total of 4 MPs ✔️
A rabid press that has somehow taken the govt by surprise whilst simultaneously acting exactly as anticipated. ✔️
Gives Corbyn a break I suppose.

I suppose it's difficult to detect the hypocrisy of being a morally bankrupt human rights lawyer given you’re a self-proclaimed centrist punk.

It's certainly a well-provided demographic with the Labour government also chasing the same hare.

It wouldn’t help their workload, and I can’t see GPs falling over themselves to agree to sign up to that one.
Unfortunately, even bringing it back in-house would be a challenge, once you open the door to vultures like Capita it’s extremely difficult to shut it again.

What really pisses me off about Labour's strategy is that it’s not even remotely unprecedented.
We have always been able to peek across the pond to see what’s shortly to be blowing in.
It used to be Big Macs and Knight Rider; now it’s fascism and ultra-neoliberalism.

Exactly.
I think it’s quite common to make the mistake of believing that highlighting someone’s shitty traits will put other people with shitty traits off them.

How can a manifesto promise to do something immediately still be on track nearly a year and a half after the election?
I usually rate full fact but this looks like it was knocked together by the intern.

Cool, looking forward to Labour doing all the things their leader indicated in his leadership bid.
To be fair it's probably not just all about the Greens, being humiliated by Plaid in Wales might also have been a factor.

Anything to do with recent polls showing the Greens beating Labour I wonder?
I'm not complaining, I would rather they be pushed left than continue to be Temu Reform.
Maybe they could try stopping persecuting the disabled, trans people and immigrants next.

Not that there is anything wrong with your teeth but it's typically tone deaf for the people responsible (either by policy or support) for the near demise of NHS dentistry to go after someone's teeth.

They are a third of the way into a term with a huge majority and have achieved very little of note except to spectacularly squander the political goodwill they had.
I find that depressing given the very real potential of a terrible alternative but of course, I'm just being childish.

They aren’t gagging to be called racist they are confident they won't be because they have fooled people into believing that calling out racism is somehow playing into their hands.
An effective double bluff from the racists.

Or what? If you had a plethora of solid policies to choose from you wouldn't have had to choose a continuation Tory policy.
Extra school meals is a solid policy but my point is that they are few and far between, the polls seem to suggest I'm not alone in feeling frustrated at the lack of ambition.

A 3p higher rise for apprentices and 16-17 year olds than they got last April under the Tories.
The fact that this is trumpeted as a Labour ‘win’ says all we need to know about the present Labour government.
