Tbf Corbyn has been singing from the same song sheet for about 50 years and Sultana literally got thrown out of the Labour Party for being consistent.
I do agree that being too honest won't get them anywhere though.

Shhh! We aren't supposed to talk of a viable alternative and should spend our time as centrist hand-wringers just waiting patiently for that promised trickle-down.

I know it's a novel concept but do you think that just maybe they are saying what they genuinely believe in rather than what they think we want to hear?

Agreed, but obviously that same human nature is present under capitalism too.
The only difference is that the lazy gits and profiteers own the company and you only work for them.

The beneficiaries of capitalism don't like doing any form of work themselves so they are perfectly happy for actual workers to uphold the status quo by poo-pooing any talk of alternatives.

Yeah, because employees always pull together equally to feather the nest of the shareholders.
I suspect your poor experience was more about human nature than a fundamental failure of Socialism.

The UK here just dropping by to let you know it's not only in America.
Not sure if that's going to make you feel better or worse though.

Govt hasn't missed anything.
The asylum system (like most of our services) are designed to transfer wealth from the taxpayer to shareholders via the likes of Serco etc.
In that regard, it's working just fine, any tinkering is purely performative to try to win back some ground lost to the right.

This weeks list of people to blame for pissing away a huge majority.
The leader of a political party with a grand total of 4 MPs ✔️
A rabid press that has somehow taken the govt by surprise whilst simultaneously acting exactly as anticipated. ✔️
Gives Corbyn a break I suppose.

I suppose it's difficult to detect the hypocrisy of being a morally bankrupt human rights lawyer given you’re a self-proclaimed centrist punk.

It's certainly a well-provided demographic with the Labour government also chasing the same hare.

It wouldn’t help their workload, and I can’t see GPs falling over themselves to agree to sign up to that one.
Unfortunately, even bringing it back in-house would be a challenge, once you open the door to vultures like Capita it’s extremely difficult to shut it again.

What really pisses me off about Labour's strategy is that it’s not even remotely unprecedented.
We have always been able to peek across the pond to see what’s shortly to be blowing in.
It used to be Big Macs and Knight Rider; now it’s fascism and ultra-neoliberalism.

I think it’s quite common to make the mistake of believing that highlighting someone’s shitty traits will put other people with shitty traits off them.

How can a manifesto promise to do something immediately still be on track nearly a year and a half after the election?
I usually rate full fact but this looks like it was knocked together by the intern.

Cool, looking forward to Labour doing all the things their leader indicated in his leadership bid.
To be fair it's probably not just all about the Greens, being humiliated by Plaid in Wales might also have been a factor.
