The boldest of dreamers and the bitterest of pessimists. Disappointingly sweary.

It seems to me, that the Labour Government has morphed into the very thing they originally established themselves to fight...

Pulling the drawer bridge up. He doesn't care about immigration.

He doesn't care about anyone, or anything apart from maintaining his privelge.

Experience tells me the mass of the masses don't care. They believe what they are told and want more of it.

#WaterPrivatisation
Profiteering is important...

irenelertora.bsky.social @irenelertora.bsky.social · 12h

I have checked all my statements since 2022. Fixed costs for water supply have increased by 41% and sewerage by 55%.. usage has also increased by 30% and 49% respectively. Would the consumer have to pay for their incompetence to save our rivers whilst they are reporting 200+ millions in profit.

The #Polanski Factor?

Duncan Poundcake @duncanpoundcake.bsky.social · 1d

YP is 5 years too late. I was a Corbynista. Proud to have been one & actively fought the good fight BUT he won the leadership 10 years ago, lost 2019 almost 5 years ago. The political landscape is now fundamentally different and the left finally has populist who can cut through with Polanski.

#ECHR
What none of these idiots mention is #NorthernIreland

Leaving the ECHR would violate the The Good Friday Agreement and end up with either NI staying in, whilst the rest of the UK left or being dragged out with all the consequences that would have for peace...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Would leaving the ECHR really 'stop the boats'?

The extent to which leaving the Convention would make a difference to immigration has been greatly exaggerated, argues Lord Sumption

I don't share your vitriol but Jezza's time has past HOWEVER he paved the way for Polanski. The left has been desperate for a home since 2019 and the Greens have a debt of gratitude to pay to Corbyn for enthusing millions that a different way was possible, up for grabs and need to be discussed.

I hear this a lot. It's very selective.

Brown lost more votes and voter share.
Corbyn lost more seats.

The caveat being Brown didn't have his own party, party machinery, establishment and all the press eviscerating him.
