Labour need to worry the shit out of those who voted for them last time rather than Tory or Lib Dem about his links with Trumps and his stated ambition to abolish the NHS. Probably enough for a vastly reduced majority. Carney in Canada shows the effect of a galvanising enemy. How the fuck would anyone over 40 with a pre existing condition get adequate and affordable health cover even through their employers is the first question I’d start asking. That should kill him dead outside of his base…

I'm both, thank you very much - I shop in the husky child section.

Your dedication to this shithousing is nothing short of magnificent.

Please stop. This has gone Pharaoh enough.

I broadly agree with a lot of this although it's a bit of a hail mary for Labour to go 'we'll look competent and then hope the economic situation improves' as their strategy for retaining power. I'd prefer them to have a bit more about them than that. We need a longer term pivot away from the culture war.

I agree but if you were height challenged like @Dazzler or big boned like @Christmas Tree you'd probably find something. 👍

Case in point. This is objectively frivolous and the sort of thing you can get away with more as a minor party, but it's also... more human than anything Labour have done publicly since coming to power? I mean, I'm aware they inherited a basket case of an economy and the world has gone even further to shit in the meantime, but you can still paint a picture that people might want to actually buy into, can't you?

Just say it was the parent's choice.

Give it to the King of the North*. * Burnhamsy.

The comms have been appalling, and I would definitely agree both Starmer and Reeves are as wooden as Pinocchio with oddly irritating voices.

Agreed. This, essentially: Even an Ed Davey type who's willing to engage in stupid stunts would be some kind of public face with a bit of personality for people to at least have an opinion of.

perhaps he stays if we sign a RW who can also cover CF, such as mbueno, as that would bump callum down to about third choice, possibly even fourth depending on how osula develops.

My in-laws live in North Tyneside, the FiL has been in hospital and the MiL is disabled so they asked me to post their votes for them. They almost always have GB News on so no prizes for guessing which way they'll have voted. I was very tempted to chuck their postal ballots in the bin but I didn't in the end. Farage would have them fucked for their medical needs but they'll be conviently hidden away from those views by the cunts gaming the system.

this is no slight on callum, who has been a superb servant, but i think we'd be mad to give him a new deal. i feel sorry for him because of all the injuries he's suffered but he hasn't looked the same player since coming back this time. the only way i see him being useful is if he's happy to be third choice. we need a better and more reliable rotation option for isak next season with all the extra fixtures.

Basically saying he’ll get a new contract if we get Europa.

Fair enough, but then 'what has gone wrong' becomes the complete lack of messaging and unifying narrative vision around it. The number of times I've defended Labour now while arguing about the steps they're taking to combat immigration and so on... why am I doing that and not Labour? Why am I doing it at all ffs, I need a fucking life.

I picture it more like this.

Second striker problem RESOLVED.

Where’s the party kids?

Gloomy looking to see where he can purchase the tickets for the kids ad hoc 'shall we go to the beach' event messaged amongst themselves on Instagram or whatever ..... When he gives up looking and just goes there anyway.....

The Hope and Wanker

That's not pragmatism you're describing, it's impossibilism (?). To be pragmatic in that regard, appeal to everyone, would be popularism underpinned by lies. Every thing comes with trade offs and this is a point most people fundamentally don't understand. I think Labour has stuck quite well to it's manifesto commitments. They didn't promise much, the main thing was stability. We've got that. Things are improving incrementally, NHS metrics for instance. We're inching closer to Europe. No revolution was promised and it's been less than a year. What do people expect? So what's gone wrong? Winter fuel allowance withdrawn? Is that 150 quid a year enough to make pensioners switch to Reform en mass? At this point, you can only conclude that people are voting Reform as a protest or that they are genuine bone fide morons if they think Farage has solutions.

Not sure, but the WiFi is ace and there’s a projector for your presentations 😊
