There’s never a sense with any of these people that they believe that the purpose of a government is to improve people’s lives.

The Greens are the only party showing the imagination and ideas to address the future. We are not living in a ‘business as usual’ world, we are facing environmental and ecological collapse and the threat of fascism.

Most of that is the bare minimum or fiddling around the edges that I would expect from a centrist government. There’s no indication they want to make the structural changes that are needed to face the future. Time for a party that will do that.

Practically none of the Labour cabinet had done any of those things before this government and they’ve shown themselves to be utterly incompetent as well. The guy providing the political experience in this government was Mandelson.

If Labour had the 2017 or 2019 manifesto and a half decent leader who believed in it, they’d be riding high in the polls. But that will never happen now, so I want to see Labour replaced by the Greens.

It is grimly gratifying to see Mandelson/McSweeney exposed for what they are, but: I have to live here, I have to raise a family here. These idiots fucking it into the sun is very funny but it’s not *good news*, is it? It shows us how utterly boned we are, and it’s not going to get better now.

Those comments are a pretty good indicator that Labour is utterly unsalvageable.

I’ve always thought that what’s needed is a national land use plan (not convinced about the Land Use Framework’s approach) with a formal landscape-scale organisation sitting below that as the best approach for habitat connection, flood alleviation and local consultation etc.
