Yeah they saw everything the Corbyn leadership did as an authoritarian power grab because they can't believe that people would be in politics for any other purpose.

Originally posted by E10 Rifle View PostIt should never be forgotten just how illiberal the Labour right is, and that that illiberalism is a badge of honour. It's been tempting to paint, say, Blairism as defined by its economic aspects (relaxed about privatisation and anti-union legislation), but it's authoritarian gestures that really float its boat.

Strange that you didn't support Corbyn's Labour, given he and his shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott have an impeccable record on civil liberties. whilst Civil Liberties maven Sir Keir is insisting on abstaining on a bill which gives the police and secret service the right to commit crimes, up to and including murder, with impunity.
All gone.

Labour is pretty much doomed to the SLab trajectory in England I fear. Pissing off the voters you have left to chase the ones who aren't coming back and pleasing no one at all. Fuck knows what comes next. Probably fucking Vox with a cloth cap.

Bailiffs are fucking scum. I used to work in an office next door to a firm of bailiffs and the way they would talk about people - openly, in the car park, where they could clearly be heard - was absolutely horrendous.
A pox on the lot of them.

From that FT piece:
In his letter Mr Shapps said he expected Londoners to pay more through a supplement to their council tax to help improve TfL’s finances.
He also made clear he expected the mayor to begin “pensions and workplace reform” at TfL, accelerate the “inadequate” progress on implementing driverless trains, cut fare concessions for children and pensioners and implement a fares increase of more than the “RPI inflation + 1 per cent” model agreed in May. The mayor has imposed a fares freeze over the past four years.
The transport secretary also urged the mayor to extend the central London congestion charging zone to cover the same areas as the “Ultra Low Emission Zone” from October 2021. Extending the zone to the north and south circular roads would increase its size 18-fold.

The worst thing local authorities could do is allow themselves to be pitted against one another and picked off one by one as Thatcher did with the unions in the 80’s
