Sir Keir Starmer - Labour Party Leader

[Nefertiti2]

Even when you are 20 percentage points ahead in the polls its important that your marketing material looks like a 1970's National Front pamphlet

[Gangster Octopus]

Sadly (I think) nothing is showing.

A bit like Starmer's policy differences with the Tories.... (i'm here all week...)

7th October was "the worst terrorist attack since the 2nd world war"

And he wades in on the "England flag" fury

He should have solely concentrated on the extortionate cost and not even mentioned the "fun redesign"

(And "sweat-wicking"??)

[Benjm]

He just doesn't understand the DNA of modern football shirt culture.

[Eggchaser]

The silly sod is terrified of upsetting flagshaggers and having them head off to Reform, once again Farage is a political genius, he doesn't have to worry about actually getting elected, he just has to rely on a supine and compliant media to spread his word and push the political needle ever rightwards.

Croydon where this voterigging took place is the Fiefdom of David Evans Labour Party Secretary and Starmer Enforcer

If only we had voter ID…

Sitting MP Sam Tarry accuses Labour of rigging elections against him as

[Discordant Resonance]

Labour's membership figures have fallen by almost a third since the Corbyn peak.

[Gangster Octopus]

Yeah, but that's only antisemites and Trotskyites like me and wingco, so it doesn't count...

[George C.]

Labour's membership figures have fallen by almost a third since the Corbyn peak.

Kinda irrelevant, unless it affects the GE vote though?

[Felicity, I guess so]

Kinda irrelevant, unless it affects the GE vote though?

Irrelevant?
Only if you think politics is only about one vote every five years

[Sean of the Shed]

I'm still dealing with the irony of Gonzo calling something else irrelevant, tbh.

[George C.]

Well you'd know?

Irrelevant?
Only if you think politics is only about one vote every five years

Except we're talking about the worst politicians ever...

So membership of political parties currently, is a red herring.

[Felicity, I guess so]

It's not a red herring, it's a sign of Labour tacking sharply to the right, promising nothing and expelling socialists.

IF...you were to raise your eyes from the polls/GE for a few minutes, you might recognise that the chances for a decent and oh-so-necessary realignment to the left of Labour is becoming more possible.

But yeah, "irrelevant"...

[George C.]

Possibly, but party memberships are usually only important in selecting new leaders, along with disproportionately, diminishingly shaping policy.

But not so much in GE years sadly.

Especially in the political direction of travel taken.

[That Night In Barcelona]

Labour's membership figures have fallen by almost a third since the Corbyn peak.

Probably lower than the official figure given that:

a. The current mob in charge of the party can't stop losing people's personal details because they're a bunch of clowns
b. You have to go out of your way to tell the party you're leaving, so most people just stop the direct debit and it takes the party a few months/years to recognise that as a lost member.

[Sean of the Shed]

Twenty councillors in Lancashire quit the party in protest of Starmer's leadership.
