@Geri@veganism.social i feel like there is a reasonable argument to be made that the labour movement and the labour party have never had their interests align really. Even going back to the second labour government in the 1930s they squashed the miners strikes in favour of coal barons. Edit, my bad, was the second

@Geri@veganism.social This seems to be a f***ing shitty "trend" in many countries. 😤

@Geri@veganism.social The Labour party lost its way under Kinnock when it ditched clause 4 and has never recovered

@Geri@veganism.social "was" is doing all of the heavy lifting in that last sentence of yours.

@Geri@veganism.social I started receiving my state pension last year but I don't think I could live on it. Any politician trying to save money this way should try and 'show their workings', like 30p Lee didn't!

@Geri@veganism.social All part of the attitude that (as Pritti Patel said) if you’re ‘economically’ inactive’ you are of no (further) use to society.

@Geri@veganism.social Main difference between Starmer and Burnham is that the latter is a natural born conman. He busted in with such overwhelming support that he really didn't need to keep Mahmood and Streeting, yet they're still there (lurking in the shadows lest they begin to stink too much). Miliband is being played and won't be given an opportunity to move a single inch beyond that publicity stunt. Healy is an opportunistic hyena who will sell us as packets of Soylent Green whithout a second thought.
