GOOD.

We donā€™t need to give the flag shaggers any more wanking material.

See, Keir, this is how it is done. It is also nice to know we have a proper Shadow Women and Equalities Secretary again.

ETA: IMO this is the absolute bare minimum I expect, but considering how shit the Labour Party have been recently Iā€™ll accept it.

The return to the electoral college vote is dead, butā€¦

20% is conveniently just above the Socialist Campaign Groupā€™s MP membership :thinking:

Sir Petet will still be very disappointed with him for not dragging us right back to where the Beige Dictatorship were happy and In Charge tho. Fucking arseholes. We need rid of that pie-faced twit before he can do more damage. Rayner is clearly champing at the bit when he throws the next election, which he will. Shit, Iā€™d take Rayner or Burnham, or even Lammy over Sir Lawyer Boy and Mandelsonā€™s cabal of PPE grad SPADS. Just do it now, not after BJ Fuckowitzā€™s next term starts.

More from the Conference.

This is what the T-shirt says

Starmer out
Fight the tories
Not socialists

Respectability politics in the Labour Party

(Yes, it was that Margaret Beckett)

Considering the feelings from the left of the Labour party, booing is being civil.

Keir Starmer is still trying to be all Zentrum on trans rights.

Itā€™s that respectability politics thing again. It never seems to come up when TERs accuse all trans women of being rapists and child abusers, for some reason.

At least the TERs are angry at him now, not that he will ever realise that you canā€™t have a debate where one side wants to exterminate the other, or how this same debate ended 90 years ago.

Against a higher minimum wage and sick leave?

Someone please put a headstone on top of Labourā€™s grave, tnx.

I think itā€™s more likely to be the grave of Keir Starmerā€™s career.

I was too young to experience the Winter of Discontent, but I wasnā€™t in a hurry for the re-enactment. You canā€™t blame it on the unions this time either, this is all the fault of Brexit Tories.

I can remember it all too well. Nobody wants a re-run.

Iā€™m hearing rumours that part of Starmers speech will be about the launch of Labour Friends of the Police. Thereā€™s no prizes for guessing which side the former head of the Crown Prosecution Service is on.

I was there for it but was very young. We built an igloo in the back lane.
