By the sounds of what the shadow chancellor is saying, it's here to stay babyPFI contract makes school pay thousands to cut grass
Disgraceful that this is still hampering schools.
It is a bit worrying though if at this moment in time the public think the policies being suggested are left-wing. Especially as many of them just seem to be not changing anything, just being less incompetent
It has to be them warts and all just for some competence.I think most people aren’t stupid enough to think the Labour Party has suddenly become right wing TBH.
Can't we just social media shame them into forfeiting/reducing fees?
Look at the c**** that want to take money out of educating kids for their own financial benefit.
Shame Galloway's not going out as Respect, or we could have the morons pop their cross in the polar opposite box as they struggled to understand Respect and Reform.Bizarre happenings in Rochdale. No labour candidate, Georgous George wants a return and a former Rochdale MP stands as a reform party member
I think Kier Starmer is clearly a raging antisemite and must apologise to the Jewish community at onceBizarre happenings in Rochdale. No labour candidate, Georgous George wants a return and a former Rochdale MP stands as a reform party member
Shame Galloway's not going out as Respect, or we could have the morons pop their cross in the polar opposite box as they struggled to understand Respect and Reform.
Also chuckled darkly at somebody who said it didn't really matter what the (now former!) Labour candidate said, as he'd still be streets ahead of Galloway in standing up for Jewish interests!
Meanwhile......
He's an absolute buffoon.

Why do you say that? It strikes me as a sensible campaign to educate people.
Online fraud is ruining lives.
Isn't the former MP the one whose wife liked flashing her knockers about?The Green Party candidate has been removed by the party as well
Read the community notes, his statement is full of lies, he's bullshitting and falsifying the stats in a speech about preventing fraud.

I’m old enough to remember the Johnson era when fraud wasn’t considered a crime so they could claim crime was falling when in fact it was up 14%. A typical Tory tale of too little too late.Meanwhile......
He's an absolute buffoon.
What community notes? I can't see any in the campaign statements to which there is a link in the video.
Underneath the tweet?

Doesn’t appear in the embedded tweet to be fair, you have to click on it to see the Community Note.

Not visible to me. I don't have a Twitter/X account. Could that be the reason?
All I get is Cleverly's video promoting the campaign and the link to the campaign's material, all of which seems entirely sensible to me.
I mean I won’t be sad if fewer children grow up in poverty, no.
As I said before I think the disconnect is seeing voting in a GE as either a statement of your values, or a binary choice in direction. There is no magical third option where everything is gumdrops and rainbows. And when there was it was a) questionably viable and b) fronted by, quite frankly, a weird crank, which even if a wasn’t true made it seem like it was.
This is a bit like that poll the Tory back benchers put out that was widely ridiculed that asked something like “Who would you rather vote for? Sunak, Starmer, a hypothetical new Conservative Prime Minister that focused on your priorities”
Surprisingly the imaginary candidate won by a landslide.
There’s a couple of related phrases from tech startup culture that are appropriate here: “vapourware” - a product that only ever appears in PR campaigns and never releases because it’s impossible. “Get in the arena” - never mind saying what you are going to build, put it into the marketplace and prove it.
The left never ships. Always promising something better is possible but never delivering it.
Left wing politicians need to get out there and win elections and put in place working policy. That trumps all the Oxford debates and protests and working groups put together.
How? How can the left do that exactly.
I voted for a centre-left set of broadly popular policies, as promised by the prospective Labour leader, Keir Starmer.
He then quickly rowed back on everything vaguely to the left and effectively moved the whole party towards the centre-right.
Rather than challenge that, you seem to be saying we should just suck it up.
I wasn't in a protest group, I was in the Labour party, a paying member, and we supposedly found someone of the left who was acceptable. Turns out it was all a front to get power.
The problem isn't with the left mate, it's with politicians like Starmer.
Whoever Labour put up as a leader is going to get hammered by the press. There isn't anyone in that job who won't be slandered or pulled apart.
The job of the leader is to manage that without caving in and to put the case for genuine change rather than just turning chicken every time a Tory paper might get upset.
Don’t worry, as a previous Labour MP the media will roll out a picture of him with Corbyn when reporting it.Labour will now be made to further submit to nonsensical antisemitism allegations

Isn't what he's said in line with British Law? Pretty sure its against the Foreign Enlistment Act and when there was talk of people going to fight for Ukraine the Foreign Office pointed out that it was illegal and "anyone who travels to conflict zones to engage in unlawful activity, should expect to be investigated upon their return to the UK".Labour will now be made to further submit to nonsensical antisemitism allegations
