🚨Business Chiefs urge Labour to consider fantastic plan to #RejoinEU under new membership scheme🚨
Bosses of the BMPA, Cold Chain Federation & the British Chambers of Commerce, welcomed any proposals which would reduce #Brexit trade friction
Under the Associate Membership Plan, outer-tier countries would be expected to contribute to the EU’s annual budget in exchange for participation in the bloc’s single market, which #EU insider's say was designed with #Labour in mind

Well, this is all rather telling about the integrity of some Labour candidates, and of the Labour machine that has ridiculously defended this particular candidate.
If the term 'Communications Consultancy' was meant to be a "generic" term, why were both words capitalised and why didn't a comms person not know this was wrong? Quite apart from why a non-existent company was linked to it!

@jackLondon are you saying its not true that #Starmer has been collecting more "gifts" than #Blair?
Or just complaining about #JVL - Jewish Voice for Labour?
Its either true or it isnt - hate the message not the messenger

Try this instead
"Starmer has taken more freebies than all Labour leaders since 1997 combined"
Well "centre" (by definition) is between one extreme and the other ... I am not sure once can define a scale for political position, but quite obvisuously the centre is not on either end
Given that the right state repeatedly that #Labour is too far left, and the left that it is too far right, I am not sure anyone can demonstrate it is one side or the other of this mythincal "centre"
@jackLondon i dont care where you choose to define as "the centre"
The #labour party currently wont commit to proper funding of #schools, the #NHS, or #FreeSchoolMeals
In order to avoid a #WealthTax or equalising tax on earned vs investment income
Place that wherever you like on the imaginary left-right spectrum -its still protecting the wealthy at the expense of children
Sainsbury has been contributing to Labour for decades.... nowt new there
The idea #labour was a socialist party along Corbynist lines prior to Blair is a fantasy - it always was a wide group with leadership nearer the centre-left than the left
When we had large organised manual unions, few members were socialists - it was always an obsession of the leftist university educated members to impose such a vision on the country
Failure to recognise that leads to repeated defeat
In the interests of balance, another poll claims it’s the other way round. Mind you YouGov are good on polling for elections but I don’t trust them on social attitudes
At any rate the streets are safer and quieter now and I doubt it’ll stay a major issue for long

I've yet to hear ANY #tory or #Labour make sense on climate. When covid first hit and we went into lockdown, with all the daily briefings etc. we had a glimpse of the level of action we'd need to tackle #CO2
We still have covid, yet for the sake of the sacred 'economy' we ditched all control measures. So it is with #climate -
Business as usual.
They only think in electioneering terms. Not a pair of bollocks between the lot of them.

‘No salaries in last 18 months’: Workers who made parts for ISRO satellite launches stage protest
Employees of the government-owned Heavy Engineering Corporation say they have been struggling to make ends meet. On September 17, BBC Hindi had reported that some employees of the Heavy Engineering Corporation who contributed in building a launchpad for the Indian Space Research Organisation had taken up odd jobs, including selling idlis, tea and momos, by the roadside in Ranchi.

"Reeves has boxed herself into an impossible economic situation, given comments that she has already made"
""..growth in public services can only follow growth in the private sector. That is the only option that she has left available to herself. However, any prospect of significant growth in the private sector is now unlikely."
#Austerity kills whether delivered by #labour or #tories
@raymo unfortunately the current Labour team have shackled the UK to outdated monetarist theories, and will deliver more life-destroying austerity, in the name of "fiscal responsibility". Sure, the Tories will be gone but their monetarily policies will continue under Rachel Reeves. That will be a tragedy for my neighbours.

Now former Corbyn speechwriter Alex Nunns has published a thread on what used to be Twitter, listing just a few of the examples of racism by Labour MPs who are still in the party and in many cases on Starmer’s front bench – exposing the lie that this has anything to do with ‘standards’”

What Starmer actually said:
"There's currently no case for rejoining the EU, so Labour will focus on making Brexit work better". The operative word is CURRENTLY!
How can Brexit be better without rejoining the EU, Single Market or Customs Union? Closer alignment. It's implied!
There's no seat at the EU table or votes, but our views will be acknowledged

Never again can we allow a repeat of the mistakes of the mini budget.
I will bring stability back to our economy so working people will be better off.
Labour pledges more watchdog power after Truss mini-budget
I am hoping this is just one of a series of measures #labour will introduce to clean up politics
LOTO has real contempt for grifters selling influence & those imagining their position allows them to ignore constraints the law imposes on the rest of us
#blair left office without protecting our politics from the likes of "NF" Farage & #vacuumOfIntegrity - #starmer must not make the same mistake
Tax cuts 'virtually impossible' at present, says Jeremy #Hunt
Almost certainly this is a tactic to enable springing a last minute tax cut on a "grateful" nation months before the GE
It will of course by "unaffordable" by all normal measures of fiscal prudence - but the #toriesOut will do it anyway - and blame #labour when it has to be reversed post-election - since it will not be enough to retain #sunak in power...
"Voters aren’t talking about Brexit, says Lib Dem leader"
The Tweedledee of England's opposition doesn't want to talk about Brexit. Oh no. This follows Tweedledum's fantastic thinking about rewriting the EU withdrawal agreement.
Oh well, at least the Green Party will go into the election with a firm and honest statement on Europe. I should know, as I'm helping write it.
#Brexit #EdDavey #KeirStarmer #EU #LibDems #Labour #GreenParty
I wonder how many of the far left posting attacks on #labour here will mirror the journey of #russellBrand from #corbyn fanboy to member of the misogynist far right protesting persecution by the "main stream media" ?
Voters aren’t talking about #Brexit, says Lib Dem leader
Re-joining the #EU is "off the table", #LibDem leader Sir Ed Davey has said
So can all those still attacking #labour for not committing to an improbable return to the #SM within the next parliament please stop? You really are wasting your energy
Or you could join the #SNP who are happy to build fantasy on fantasy by proposing first indyRef2 then independence then EU membership..... sometime!
So why did #labour lose in 2017 and 2019 against the weakest #ToriesOut campaign in the first case, and the clear BS of the #vacuumOfIntegrity in the latter?
You deliberately pick examples of things everyone wants (eg functional NHS) which are not actually policies, but in reality are upset there is no commitment to the policies that lost those elections like nationalising the energy industry...
@RichardJMurphy Am I right in thinking that #RachelReeves has announced what is in essence a fiscal policy of five years' #austerity?
@glynmoody
So, #ToriesLied about the seven bins and #MeatTax. No surprise.
I think #Labour should play along and #KierStarmer announce that he will end Tory plans for:
- Shoe Tax
- Mandatory Fox Hunting
- Used Loo Roll Recycling
Clearly Tories don't intend to fight the next #GE in the realm of reality.

#ClimateDiary A few (uniformed) thoughts on #RishiSunak’s speech yesterday - the #Tory row back on #NetZero. Mainly i just found it depressing in so many ways; calling people who ask for more #ClimateAction “ideological zealots” etc etc
Hopefully once in power #Labour will reverse this, but all the confusion and pampering to those unwilling to change (industry and “freedom” lovers) hugely damaging; especially as #Starmer will probably respond trying to please those, too 1/2
Trade unions wanted employment law devolved, Sarwar said he was good with that. Now Keith has told him he's not good with that so he's not.
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/labour-msps-oppose-call-devolution-30986973
The UK's in such a mess & broke with a debt/GDP ratio of 101.1%, if #Starmer promises anything substantantial, the first thing they'll be hit with is "So how're you going to pay for this?"
Policy pledges not adding up is political suicide. In this respect #Labour are hamstrung. There's only so much scope Labour can be afforded, but the electorate seemingly understand this
The last thing Labour want to do is lose the financial prudence argument by making wild, uncosted promises.
@simon_brooke @AnthonyFStevens
Because all you can talk about is how bad #labour is....
It seems simple enough to me. Get #ProportionalRepresentation advocates to agree on a preferred version, & that's what presented as the alternative to first past the post.
We haven't got a #Labour government, so how can they be terrible in government when the #Tories are in power?
@MadeyeTheCarnaptious There is no point in voting #labour . Vote #Green or Independent Socialist.
@simon_brooke @AnthonyFStevens
Well i thing there is a fair amount of selective editting in your comments..... much of the text concerns preventing any repetition of the #vacuumOfIntegrity imposing whitehall's will on devolved matters by primary legislation in the Palace of Westminster
The fact #snp fans attack #labour but do not bother with the #toriesOut speaks volumes about where they see the threat to their political dominance, but nothing at all about the relative merits of the parties
@simon_brooke @AnthonyFStevens
OK I get it - you want to attack #labour (like all SNP people do) because they threaten #SNP dominance in #scotland - unlike the hopeless #tory
You can stop now....address your criticisms to the Labout party
5/ Why can't they join the #SocialistWorkersParty, install #Corbyn as leader, & create an executive with Abbott & McDonnell, & put their case to the UK electorate? 🤔
Nah, that's too much like hard work. They feel it's easier to stand on the sidelines & hurl shitbombs at #Starmer & #Labour.
They prefer to break things & burn stuff down, than create a #Socialist view for the #UK as an alternative to Starmer's vision for Britain.
Talk about bitter & pointless! 🙄
4/ Again, I'm no #Starmer fanboy. I'd rather have #Labour in power under a new leader, than in opposition under Starmer.
Can the far left #Corbynista's say they felt the same about #Corbyn when he was Labour leader? 🤔
For several years I've asked this question in respect to Corbyn, NOT ONE of his disciples has been honest enough to give me an answer, let alone an honest one.
Why can't they just move on & leave Labour alone?
On page 105, #Labour go on to meddling in the organisation of local government in Scotland. That is very clearly a devolved matter. If a #Labour government in #Westminster so much as whisper about it, that is rolling back devolution.
It should be noted that Scotland's overlarge local government areas are a product of previous #Labour gerrymandering, solely aimed at creating jobs for their boys.
Yes, we need reform -- but we will do it ourselves, thank you.
>>>
3/
6. All we hear about from far left #Corbynistas is the Forde Report, Clause IV & the Ten Pledges, & NOT ONE alternative solution to save the UK, from #Tory destruction!
It's seriously like their way or no way! One guy on #Twitter spewed he was making it his life mission to DESTROY #Labour for what they did to #Corbyn?
HOWEVER, every time I ask what the far left's solution is, they don't have one! 🙄
2/ But there's a few issues.
1. Lifelong Eurosceptic #Corbyn was in charge of an 80% pro-EU #Labour Party
2. Jezza was leader, so regardless of what was suggested to him by his shadow cabinet, it was HIS decision to make a #Brexit confirmatory referendum party policy.
3. Jezza resigned.
4. #Starmer threw his leadership cap in the ring & won.
5. Starmer had to modify his message to reform, heal & rebuild Labour.
@simon_brooke @AnthonyFStevens
Happy you took the trouble to stop & read some of it - even if only to find what you think is a flaw
It's unclear what point you're trying to make - is it that some of the money spent in #Scotland is centrally directed - eg Defence - other UK expenditure is also on behalf of the whole UK eg Embassies, foriegn aid
You need independence for your own army....
My point was only #labour will make changes - not that they will be enough for #snp supporters like you
1/ I tell you what's counter-productive, I share news on the damage the #Tories are doing to the #UK, & the solutions #Labour are proposing.
HOWEVER, EVERY SINGLE DAY, I get descended upon by #Corbynista's who skip straight past the #Tories who're causing the carnage, & go straight for #Starmer! 😳
I get it! You HATE the guy & blame his & other Labour MP's calls for a confirmatory referendum, on your Messiah Jezza losing badly in #GE2019.
@jackLondon @AnthonyFStevens Brown's been promising exactly that for more than ten years. He has no power and no influence, even within #Labour. His words mean nothing.
#Starmer has been really clear that there will be no more devolution, and, indeed, in several area, Labour want to roll it back.
@AnthonyFStevens @simon_brooke
It would be logical for #labour to offer more devolution - indeed #gordonBrown plan envisages devolution of power across the UK
In contrast to #toriesOut who have done nothing in 13 years
#scotland is not a region, but a separate country with 1000 years of history before 1706 - this is not just a matter of politics & economics but also cultural identity
So long as they are tied to #England scots will be subservient to Whitehall & the independence will appeal
If #Labour do make a strong return in #Scotland, it'll certainly turn a spotlight on the Scot's appetite for #ScottishIndependence.
Could more devolution be an interim solution?
@simon_brooke @AnthonyFStevens
I am definitely sympathetic to scots wanting free of english domination - the Union no longer serves a purpose & if I were a Scot I would be #SNP - however..... reality is the cause of independence is on hold for the duration, and #labour will take a number of seats from them - possibly as many as 10
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election#Scotland
@AnthonyFStevens We've seen the catastrophy of #Brexit - which Scotland voted resoundingly against; we've seen thirteen years of quite astonishing incompetence and corruption under the #Conservatives; we're about to see a continuation of more or less exactly the same policies under #Labour.
Most people don't start to think seriously about the #ScottishIndependence question until a referendum is called; when it's called, there will again be a broad, vibrant grass roots campaign.
As Rishi Sunak scraps Net Zero policies in a desperate attempt to ensure he loses the next election by slightly fewer votes, here’s what the changes will actually mean
#RishiSunak #FossilFuels #ClimateChange #NetZero #Tories #Labour #GreenParty #UKPol

If I was gunning for #ScottishIndependence I'd outline every last issue & pitfall & give a detailed solution to how it'd work in practice.
In #England all we hear is less than 50% of #Scotland want #Independence & they've zero clue what they'll do in practice if they ever get it.
Now back to #Labour. Look how they've switched tactics & are now creating the UK's political narrative?
There's lessons to be learned for the #Scots.

This is the issue Michael. You're completely missing the point that in opposition, all #Labour are is an ideological talking shop.
In order to effect change, we need power first BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! Only then & with a large workable majority can Labour express themselves.
As things stand, the slightest sniff we give the #Tories, they use it as an ideological smokescreen to blindside & distract the public
Nope! Labour are giving the Tories nothing, as they devour themselves
Your choice mate. The "Socialists" haven't gone anywhere. It seems they just infest the political wilderness with their bitterness & bile, & would prefer another 5 years of #Sunak's #Tories than a #Labour government led by anyone else but Jeremy #Corbyn.
His Messiah-like leadership & the cultist disciples who followed him was always gonna end in tears.
Why don't they just reform under the #SocialistWorkersParty with Corbyn as leader, & Abbott & McDonnell as their executive? 🤔

Just in case you had *any* doubts just how Tory #Labour has become:
“Labour MSPs backed the Tories”
That’s Labour, the Party that pretends it puts people first.
Labour isn’t ‘progressive’, it’s now a conservative reactionary irrelevance of a party that is so bereft of principles it has to steal other party’s policies to see if they can get a few votes off them.
Labour is dead in Scotland — its so weird that they just keep on pissing on their own grave…
England can bury them too. #VoteGreen
