It's pure vindictiveness and all because some racist moron in Worksop told a reporter once that he'd never vote Labour again.
― Fronted by a bearded Phil Collins (Tom D.), Monday, 14 November 2022 12:45 (one year ago) link
he should stand as an independent (which I imagine he reluctantly will do) at least then he'd be blocking a terrible Labour melt from winning the seat. He's healthy enough to carry on being one of the few decent constituency MPs for some years. He needs to forget about "stay and fight" at his age, it's futile and will be for a long long time - maybe more than what many of us have got left!

In another way tho calz there might be some power in him explicitly acknowledging that the Labour Party and by extension the current parliamentary setup is useless to left politics
― Burnt Norton 360 (Noodle Vague), Monday, 14 November 2022 13:21 (one year ago) link
after being in the Labour party for so long I think he might have become a little bit institutionalised on his thinking on this. He spent decades marginalised by the right, yet he bided his time. He's been around long enough to know that the party is garbage and of the futility of exacting change through parliamentary democracy (as hard as he tried). But this is just a feeling, but I think he's got a strong bond with the party in some emotional way and he doesn't want to terminally sever the link.
― calzino, Monday, 14 November 2022 14:06 (one year ago) link
I think you're right, just not sure it's good for him or the left at this stage

Labour’s proposals to abolish the House of Lords are set to be watered down after an eleventh-hour row between Gordon Brown and Sir Keir Starmer’s advisers, The Times has learnt.
Preparations for the launch of a review of the constitution by the former prime minister have been overshadowed by internal tension over the scale and pace of reform of the upper house.

look at the state of this lying fuck
In a discussion on how he "couldn't disagree with the basic case so many leave voters made to me", Starmer says yes, he campaigned for remain & voted for remain, but "we lost the referendum".

do their focus groups ever tell them that just going with whatever their focus groups say will play best at any given moment doesn't actually play very well? that it kind of makes you look like a snake who can't be counted on for shit?

Who would be your dream dinner guest?Probably Bruce Springsteen.Big fan?I am, yeah. It was a toss-up between him and Billy Joel there. I sound like my dad, actually. But, probably Springsteen. Big fan of his music – I’ve actually seen him quite a few times, too many times, maybe. I actually saw him in the States in my early 20s and he puts on a good gig. I’d love to sit down and have a chat with him about some of the folk he’s played with, like Bob Dylan and all that, I think it’d be a good chat. I say good chat – I’d probably just sit there in awe.
