We never were, but we liked to lie to ourselves about it.
Brits love a good lie about ourselves.....
This why as a Queer man #Labour is not my ally and I will not be quiet about it to please some Straight Cowards who have hitched their ride to Sir Kid Starver
Ed Davey: ‘#Tacticalvoting can lock Tories out of power for a generation’
“It is no secret that some #Labour and #Green party voters lent us their votes in Somerset and we are very grateful for their support,” he said. “In many seats across the south-west, voters at the next election will be faced with a similar choice between the #LiberalDemocrats and the #Conservatives.
Have #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern nothing better to do with their time that write letters to the leader of #Labour. A few days ago Grant Shapps wrote, demanding Sir Kier pay for damage done by #JustStopOil and now we have #Braverman writing also about Just Stop Oil. Surely there’s enough for the Tories to be getting on with, beside telling other parties how to run their politics and decisions?
It’s no surprise that #Tories are fine with keeping kids in poverty. But if the Labour Party refuses to oppose such a heartless policy, #Labour doesn’t deserve to be in power.
@glynmoody#Labour didn’t lose because of ULEZ. The voters are simply too stupid to see, acknowledge and act on the damage done by the Tory government. The lies, Partygate, the sleazy dealings, the corrupt cash for favours, the economic damage, Brexit.
The #Uxbridge#Byelection has shown the Tories how well Climate Culiture War tactics can work: spreading #Misinformation about #ULEZ, branding #Labour “the political wing of Just Stop Oil”.
I expect the Tories will go for this full-on in the next elections, & the earlier we recognise & mobilise against this the better. Even if they lose these narratives are incredibly harmful #GTTO#ULEZ
This has been going for as long as I can remember. That is why having #nice around is so important and why its creation was a real achievement of the last #labour government. .
"Starmer says Labour doing something ‘very wrong’ after Ulez-linked Uxbridge loss"
FFS. Labour won its biggest by-election victory since 1945 in Selby and Ainsty and massively reduced the Tory majority in Uxbridge and this is what he comes up with?
To remind you 92% of London voters are unaffected by Ulez, Ulez was introduced by Bozo when he was mayor of London and Sadiq Khan was required to extend Ulez by the government.
Anti-Pollution Norms & State Policies Cripple UP’s Leather Industry, Pushing Muslim Livelihoods To The Brink
With de facto and de jure marginalisation of Uttar Pradesh’s Muslims after 2014, when chief minister Yogi Adityanath of the BJP came to power, one result has been the industrial decline of predominantly Muslim-owned and employed businesses across the state. One such important business hub is the leather industry, concentrated in the city of Kanpur and nearby Unnao. In the second of a two-part series, Article14 analyses the socio-economic consequences of anti-cow slaughter laws and discriminatory policies against the leather industry in India’s most populous state.
If #Labour lost the election on #ULEZ then there is definitely something to debate.
The subject of the debate is not whether to water down the pitch to voters. Although it is the hottest year on record UK weather has been pretty crap. Politicians need to understand and explain that we won't be OK in the future. We will be impacted by #ClimateChange on food, extreme weather, security, imports & everything else #UKPol
So, the #conservatives held Uxbridge, mainly because they hate Sadiq Khan, the Labour Mayor of London, for introducing the ULEZ (ultra low emmissions) charge,
Here is a copy of the letter from Conservative Secretary of state, Grant Shapps, ordering Khan to implement ULEZ.
The stupid thing is that #Labour didn't publicise this, and didn't win the seat.
