More meaningless pledges from the lying Labour leader

Labour leader Keir Starmer has come out with a couple more pledges to make voters happy for a while. Expect them to be reversed long before any general election. The first is a promise to repair go…

@MusiqueNow The sad thing is, his replacement would be just as awful. Not enough left of centre, never mind left, MP's and CLP's left to keep the Tory B team out

@Skembear

I can't even stand to look at him!

My hubby and I were talking about the whole thing we've been on about kick the Tories out, then kick the Tories out of the Labour Party.

IDK, start a new party? Go to the #Greens?

Not voting is not an option

@Skembear

So, what s your opinion?
New party (to hell with Labour)
or
Increase the fight to kick out the #FarRightInTheLabourParty?

@MusiqueNow There is no chance of any kind of fight back. They have set the scene now where rules can be changed and retrospective punishment can be used to quash dissent.

@MusiqueNow The only course of action lies outside of the party. Historically, new parties will fail. Never enough support, or finances. The only options available are protest votes, which invariably gift power to the enemy party, or a multi union backed working class party, with support from all the fractured left leaning organisations.

There has always been factions within the left that will make the left eat itself. The right will rally round to protect the 'power for power's sake' mentality

@Skembear

What do you think is behind the left always fucking itself up

@MusiqueNow There are too many things people need and the fighting tends to come from what is the most important, or what needs to be tackled first. What priorities there are and the big one, personalities. progressives strive to change things, whereas conservatives want to broadly keep things the same. Keeping things the same is easy, whereas trying to change things for the better can and does have many different, sometimes competing interpretations
@MusiqueNow . Thus while the right can coalesce around this obvious shared goal, the left gets bogged down in arguing over different possible interpretations of “utopia” - because it doesn’t exist, it’s hypothetical, but the ultimate goal is what most progressives agree with, what we don't agree with is how we get there
