Burnham has been blocked!

[Ohcrap082024]

Just being reported on BBC news now. The NEC has met and refused to allow Andy Burnham to stand in the by-election. This is looking very bad for Starmer.

Most Germans would have agreed with you during the late 1920s and early 1930s before Hitler became Chancellor. And I'm the daughter of a Holocaust survivor who grew up in Germany at the time.

I completely agree with you. It is terrible when people call anyone or any party "Nazis" .Or compare Reform to the Nazis of the 1930s. Unfortunately it is what several PPs have been doing on here. And what the left do relentlessly.

All Im saying is that if you're going to do that then Labour seem more appropriate.

Yes that does happen

Completely agree.

Exactly, those shouting “nazi” might do well to remember it’s Labour in govt.

Labour must make much clearer arguments-any arguments-about why they are better than Reform. To different audiences, too. They will not win any debates by showing how similar they can be. Where the fuck are their comms people?

It's not comms. It's that their policies are ill-thought out and seem almost designed to destroy our economy and destroy any remaining sense of civic responsibility and cohesion.

I know "Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence". But only so much incompetence is plausible.

I don't think Starmer has any malice. I think he is an administrator not a leader so don't have the drive needed.
