    And they do that by being a consistent leader.

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    I’m just asking for consistency - surely a reasonable quality in good leadership?

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    After having some time to reflect on this I think he wanted an excuse to bin her. She’d already been silenced and kept out of the media whilst they wheeled out Reeves to talk about Education stuff (was she too supportive of the Union stance on schools?) If he wants to be decisive about...

    Method of Rating Manager Transfer Ability

    Like when the missus sits and occasionally comments that all they need to do is kick the ball in the net.

    Nigel is such a prick.

    I’m sure he’ll be fine pal. They will have him outside for some of the time which will help. The primaries have generally been good with their bubbles and reducing risk of unnecessary interactions, especially now groupings are much smaller

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    That doesn’t mean they can’t come from the left or are the exclusivity of the right.

    George Floyd

    Isn’t the point that it is planned, the organisation has asked to protest in advance so that the police can appropriately supervise, so ad-hoc counter ones are banned so not to overwhelm services?

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    I liked Pidcock because she was direct when answering questions and wasn’t afraid to give back to interviewers that were trying to lead conversations somewhere else or misrepresent her. A lot of Labour MP’s would fare better in interviews if they didn’t always come across as starting from the...

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    Had Pidcock not lost her seat it would have been her on the ballot for leadership instead of RLB.

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    I do because this is where all the ideas have come from. If the right of the party had spent the last 5 years bringing good ideas to the table instead of sabotaging and writing shitty Guardian bitch pieces then we may have been in a different place. What have they brought to the table since...

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    That would be a start - someone with experience of the area. There will still be numerous civil servants in the department but I feel it would help.

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    I’d actually like to see someone with educational experience in one of these roles. And when I say experience I don’t mean ‘went to private school’ Not sure there is anyone in Labour that fits that remit.

    I wonder how Dom will feel when Boris gets shunted out holding the can for Cov-ID and replaced by Gove.

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    ‘For the many not the few’ worked well for a Labour in 2017. Boris’ ‘Get Brexit done’ was even better in 2019.

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    I think they are all fair and reasonable points, and I also feel that can easily co-exist with some socialist policies that are generally popular with the public. What concerns me (and I guess I am also soul-searching politically too) is that your suggestions only seem to go in hand with an...

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    Scotland is gone now for Labour - best case is they could take the seats not held by the SNP currently but that’s a real stretch.

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    This is a fair assessment. There’s little evidence of success for political parties when they fail to take a stand on something this big and not be decisive in that stand.
