he's mixing up campaigners with voters here but of course it is nonsense. It must be exhausting campaigning for the party of no purpose or significance beyond "getting the tories out" unless your a good bullshitter.

there are still some parts of their new policy that would represent a meaningful (though totally inadequate and much worse than the previous policy) improvement to the status quo re: changing birth certificate gender marker, so i expect they will inevitably abandon even that before too long because trying to do even that inadequate, small improvement that makes no one happy policy would still upset all the transphobes in the party & media

I've always held fast to my stance that giving Diane Abbott one vote less wouldn't really work as a measure to spite Starmer and his ilk, but God I do wish there was something I could do in that department.

I don't even know who is going to be the Labour candidate for my constituency, but I'm quite certain they wont make it a difficult decision for me. If there was a candidate who Starmer wanted out of the party and was decent I still couldn't vote for them. When I voted for Ed in 2015 it was the first time I voted in a GE and I pledged to myself that I'm never voting for a marginally least worst option ever again. Now it seems that paltry offer isn't even on the table any more.

more than any time in my life parliamentary politics feels like a pointless, useless endeavour for affecting positive change in the UK, but i think anybody who believes that the UK government can potentially change things, and believes there should be a left/liberal party offering hope for change, should be very vocally withholding their vote from the Labour Party as it currently operates

The smell of cut grass takes me back to beginning to play grass football.
And, you know, going onto a pitch that's been cut, so when I was probably - first time I went on a decent pitch was probably when I was about 10, playing an under-11s league, where they cut the grass and it's that that smell of fresh grass that's just been cut.
You do still get at a football grounds, not so much because now the grass is sort of integrated a bit with other stuff, you don't get the same cut smell.
But that takes me back to sort of cycling around Surrey and Kent - I played with the Kent Boys League, um, for, um, a team there and just walking on the pitch.
I can't tell you how joyful walking onto a pitch is for me.
I’ve played football pretty much every weekend since I was 10. There’s nothing like it.Sport promotes creativity, resilience and the ability to adapt.With Labour every child can study a creative subject or sport.Our mission is to secure opportunity for all. pic.twitter.com/93LgmOjlUn— Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) July 27, 2023

if any Labour campaigners turn up on my doorstep I'm first going ask them to give me a concise one minute presentation of what is good about them without mentioning Liz Truss or Putin and then ask them why they will throw all minorities who aren't the conservative ideal of "hard working family" under a bus. Then tell them to fuck off if they don't admit they aren't much better than BNP or UKIP these days.

The Labour right huffing and puffing that a Jewish woman has been chosen to stand for the Greens in Birkenhead. Isn't it past time we call them what they are, which is antisemitic? As well as authoritarian freaks who presume they can dictate selection in other parties, of course.

I despise this party so much I would literally be tempted to vote Tory if I thought it would contribute to their demise. Not that I'd really do it and it would be a futile act, but I think there is some merit in the idea of tactical voting in marginals with trash Labour MPs to reduce their win margin. The last thing you'd want to do is hand these dangers a crushing majority and a limitless mandate for evil.

Now unlike some of you I've seen the Tory gallows proposal. And it pains me, Mr Speaker, though I must say I am not surprised, that the specifications the government have settled on for their gallows regime are utterly unfit for purpose. The Tories have mode a mockery of public hanging. We can do better. We must do better. The people demand it. Labour demands it. That is why, Mr Speaker, today I am submitting my own designs for a humane, sensible, thoroughly British approach to the execution needs of our country. It is backed by science. It is fully costed. And I call upon this House to see this Tory proposal for what it really is: a shambolic, unworkable system of outdated pulleys and levers that I doubt could even snuff out someone's grandma.
