This needs more attention. Sure, people want rid of the 'Tories' but is there a real alternative (in England)?

Labour are literally in the same political territory as the Tories and the DUP.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

Veteran Labour MP Diane Abbott has reportedly had the whip restored & will stand for Labour at the General Election!

So Victoria Derbyshire reveals today that disciplinary proceedings against Diane Abbott ended months ago. Consequently Starmer had to come clean that they have no intention of allowing her to stand in the next GE. What a nasty piece of work he is.

"Change" he says, carrying on that one HUGE mistake the Tories made with the country but now, curiously, he loves.

Labour doesn't know what to do, they hate Diane Abbott but losing another seat to an independent in London would look bad. It won't effect their chances of Government but these are vain, public-school boys and they have to WIN (especially against a Black Lady...)

This means she will have insufficient time to announce her intention to run as an independent candidate.

The SNP’s woes are a boost for Starmer. But he’s not promising the change Scotland wants

Anyone in Scotland who thinks that voting Labour will benefit Scotland really needs to take a hard look at themselves and the party.

Anas Sarwar of Labour in Scotland has become a millionaire of the back of his family company not paying its workers the Living Wage.

He's now severed his links to the firm but has transferred nearly £5m worth of shares into a trust fund for his own kids.

I'm not sure that making his own kids into millionaires at the cost to his workers paid a pittance is much of a moral highground.

Labour activists in Jeremy Corbyn’s constituency have accused the national party of an “egregiously undemocratic selection process” after it chose a candidate without consulting the local branch.

Photo titled Praful Nargund founded a chain of IVF clinics with his mother, Geeta. He was anointed without even meeting the local Labour branch, activists said.

Watch Scotland folks…

This feels like your very abusive ex partner asking you for a reference. Starmer hates the left, smashes to pieces the broad church, but still expects our votes. I sense they are panicking. Vote Green, Independent, TUSC, SNP. Don't give these right wingers your vote.

National service? Really?
No I'm not going to laugh. I have kids and would much rather they not get murdered for your arms companies chums and donors thank you.

Another thought, on #labour claiming some mystical flood of seats North of the border. Say that when it happens. We remember who did a better job of handling Covid, and if you had been in charge we'd have had the same death rate with London party telling "Scottish" branch what to do.

So, apparently, Labour now believe 16+ yr olds are capable of voting as well as working, fighting (and dying), having sex, but not in making decisions about their gender identity.

Hm, a little transphobic, perhaps?
