How are Labour doing after their first 12 months

Mate you give Sucky a lot of **** at times, but you ran away from London for a better life, so clearly the City was not perfect, maybe Sucky is just a bit more honest then you, even if he could word things better and drop the racism.

Personally I've never found a problem with London and walked around the tourist areas without concern, so I don't see the problem, apart from the rip off prices BUT I don't have to live there, so I'm not qualified to say.

Like I wasn't qualified to say about Birmingham.

Sucky is right in someways, I don't see Cornwall being flooded with social housing, in fact no housing in the same way that's being dumped in swathes of Kent.

Where you live is mainly idyllic and as a runaway you really are not the guy who should be preaching to City dwellers.

When you walk out your front door you are not faced with millions of people and the social issues that come with that... because you ran away from it being a ****hole.
If Labour win in their plan to destroy the countryside Cornwall will be renamed Lego Land, nothing to see for miles and miles but crap cheap housing, wind farms and solar panel farms

The Labour Party hates Middle England with a vengeance

All the Cornish people will be sailing to Normandy as migrants to start a new life

Wouldn't be the first time the Danes have successfully invaded...

Not sure thinking this stuff is happening a lot more than the recent past is anecdotal. I doubt the press in the past were sufficiently uninterested in this sort of thing for it to not be widely reported and it’s happening an awful lot.

Good to see Starmer staying.
The country needs to take its medicine periodically and having half the dose for an inoculation never produced good results.

I think the guy had only been in the country 4 months, having arrived by boat. There was also another migrant with him, I can't remember his outcome.

Another stabbing, this time in a North London school, 2 stabbed, I think one is critical. 13 year old boy arrested. I'm sure @Sucky will be along later to fill in all the rest of the details for us.

Yeah Kingsbury. Near the ends (the ends being middle class Hertfordshire).

On the bright side he was identified because he used his pre-loaded £49/week debit card from the Home Office to buy a Red Bull shortly afterwards so efficient police work at least.
 
Anybody thinking Wet Streetung us PM material needs a head wobble...
He;s clearly got grand ideas. Not sure who came out in support of Keir first yesterday. Everyone seemed to fall in line at the same time. I'm happy with the outcome, we need to put the economy first, the time to decide if you want change is at the next General Election, it's pointless voting otherwise. Did he know about Mandelsons association with Epstein of course he ****ing did, he might not have known about the financial breach though. He needs to get himself a decent deputy leader at the next cabinet shuffle one that's a bit more savvy and can guide the naive twat (I've no ideas on whom, maybe Thornberry the one I can't normally stand). I rarely hear from this Lucy Powell wtf does she actually do? Or does a new deputy have to go to a Labour vote again?

The deputy leader (unfortunately) has to be someone on the left of the party to appease that element of the party. I say unfortunately because it means they're guaranteed to have someone in place that is waiting for a moment to stab the incumbent PM in the back.

Both Rayner (former deputy PM) and Powell (current deputy PM) backed Andy Burnham over Starmer publicly.

This has been a long term issue for Labour, that people you defeated to the job of leader of the party have to be placed as your deputy to appease his supporters. The Tories have absolutely no problem in tossing their opponents into the bin as soon as they get the job.

Ah yeah I did wonder if it was a problem changing the deputy, it's certainly an issue for Keir, because you a reliant on whoever is chosen being the right person to work with the PM and if he hasn't got the right person by his side, it's when you see cock ups. I was listening to some old Labour guy giving an assessment on Keir today and he was pretty much saying, decent guy but so naive - and for me you need a deputy with the character to plug that gap. You can certainly see why there are so many **** ups at the top, the process is just outdated. Although I am happy the left have kept Starmer in check, so from that perspective of things it works.
 
It's startinng to come back to me now, I'm sure KS preferred someone else in the run up to who actually got the job.
 
@brb we are both out of synch

its David Lammy now whos his deputy

powell is the deputy leader of the Labour Party <doh> <laugh>

Best thing about Starmer staying where he is (for now), is it’s making the media, including the BBC, look ridiculous. Despite all the desperate hand waving by pricks like Chris Mason, the Government has not collapsed, resulting in even more desperate hand waving, yet still no collapse.

The press have got in the habit of writing the news before it happens, instead of reporting it after or as it happens. Maybe this will remind them that their job is to report the news, not make it up.
