NANOJAMBO Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I know this is about Tory lies but here's the latest hot take from the "brains" behind brexit, Dominic Cummings - This sums up a lot of the motivation for why the key players in Vote Leave did it in 2016 & why we think covid showed we were right.

I think Starmer has a better chance than Corbyn as he wouldn't get outwitted with the cultivated anti semitic stuff. He would deal with any signs if it rather than just go with just the 'we aren't a racist party line's that helped fuel something that wasn't really there. Sadly I think England had become too tory for them to be dislodged Even places like Sunderland etc are voting for them. With the labour vote now gone in Scotland, it's more tory governments than we have ever had fir the near future. Scary stuff I said modem politicians but when have they ever really been in it for us? Even some snp politicians are in it for themselves but wise Scottish voters know we are only using them and they can piss off as well as soon as we cross the line . We need a new modern system of politics. We need a series style referendum system to get rid of the politics of blame and have us have a say in the big decisions. Parties will never advocate that as the gravy train and power also stops. 21st century and nothing has really changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour seem to be fixated on winning back the Red Wall voters at the expense of p*****g off millions of Re-Joiner Labour-minded voters. The latter massively outnumbers the former.
