I preferred that lot when they sold papers outside tube stations.

If The Mail or Telegraph ever see that, we'll never hear the end of it. That's exactly how they like to portray everyone Left of Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Why is old Neil Kinnock in the dock?

There's a lot of "where will the growth come from now?" bollocks about Labour. The total amount to be spent hasn't changed. So I don't see why growth should be any lower over the next 5 years. The better question is "how much decarbonisation do we need, and is this enough to get there?"

Nicely framed here by The Independent guy I've called out before. I thought they were likely to drop this because America doesn't like it at all.

If you haven't come across Iain Darcy before, you have now.

Who the fuck is Andrew Feinstein?

He's a Stop The War bloke who's written a book on the arms industry. This apparently is a bigger accomplishment than being DPP.

The Jo Swinson analogy is mad. She lost to the SNP, her closest challenger, because their vote rose by 8.1% on the last time from the very poor 2017 performance.

They're fucking bonkers.

Have the comrades cleared this candidature with Tommy Scripps?

Here's more from Iain Darcy. He's a David Miller fan. Who could have guessed?

As my nan would say, "If he had a brain he'd be dangerous "

I’m sure it was Hugo Gye who Sunak attended his wedding.

Ha ha ha. Yeah, I mean it's not like we just had Trump supporters, is it?

Just looked him up. Seems a bit of a one trick pony and preacher to the converted.

As for his insights into the global arms industry, there's nothing that hadn't been covered by Mark Thomas in "As Used on the Famous Nelson Mandela". Which was also funny.

I was going to ask how it can be that Keir Starmer is "the most dangerous potential PM ever", but you know what ? He isn't, so i won't bother my arse.

Something about the security services and the CIA, apparently. The source of this is Grayzone.

How do these people think that Starmer's spurious links to MI5 and his opinion of Julian Assange are more important to the electorate than feeding your family and keeping a roof over their heads? I wonder if they ever talk to anyone even vaguely normal.

I'm learning the rules of online twitter leftism.

1) Labour have cut their green programme. This is a disgrace, no time to wait at all.
2) I'm going to vote for a no hope independent. Because actually we can wait.

They do the economy as well, in fairness. Ending "neoliberalism", whatever that means. Certainly there are some very poor bits of outsourced state they could point to, but I think your average hard-nosed Victorian mill owner might have noticed a few unneoliberal things, like the level of taxation. The same people who were cheering Corbyn for 26% Corporation Tax think Rachel Reeves going for 25% is an outrage of rightwingery.
