Re: Labour Watch
Labour under Corbyn won the seat in 2017 with more votes and with the SNP riding the wave and no openly fascist Tory party. Keir has harvested the disgruntled Tories.Currywurst and Chips wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 12:30 pm Stonking win for Keir in Rutherglen
Scotland turning red again
Interestingly the SNP vote share has collapsed due to disillusionment with Nicola & Co and they couldn't muster enough activists to deliver leaflets and had to hire a company to do it.
I was wondering what would happen because of the massive influx of new members after the Indyref and whether they would become more radical.
They responded by centralising further and marginalising the membership whilst adopting even more neo-liberal policies and tearing themselves apart on marginal issues like the GRA. Independence is on the back burner for now.

Re: Labour Watch
Im surprised Corbyn managed to win more votes given the turnout in 2017 and 2023 were pretty much the same
Think the turnout in 2017 was only 20,000 higher

A fact is a fact. If Sir Kid Strarver was so popular he would have inspired a higher turnout.Currywurst and Chips wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 1:17 pm Im surprised Corbyn managed to win more votes given the turnout in 2017 and 2023 were pretty much the same

“Keir has harvested the disgruntled Tories”
Yes, it’s definitely a bad thing to persuade the people who voted for the other party last time to vote for you this time instead.

Re: Labour Watch
You're trying too hard. I didn’t say it was a bad thing. It was merely an observation.
The danger being that Labour move further to the right to harvest even more right wingers.

Wow, did you spot that danger all by yourself? That’s quite the insight. Have you considered perhaps starting a podcast?

So having identified and agreed upon the danger do you have any thoughts on how far to the right Sir Keef should move to harvest more Tory votes? For example, foaming on about stopping the boats seems popular.

It was. Although in % term last night is 26% down on 2017 and almost 30% on 2019. No previous by-election in this constituency to compare against though.

Re: Labour Watch
Could have been acid, or God knows what? Still Maxy & his ilk will think it a fine prank. I think it puts bad ideas into the heads of such extremists.
Re: Labour Watch
Yeah, it could have been acid, if it had been acid. I just said thank you to someone who poured me a pint of lucky saint. It could have been a punch in the face for giving me a pint of urine, if that’s what had happened. Makes you think.Friend or faux wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 4:29 pm Could have been acid, or God knows what? Still Maxy & his ilk will think it a fine prank.

You've gotta love Owen Jones. He'd do anything to see Labour lose. Even resorting to a classic boardin' Jonah.

Re: Labour Watch
Labour are terrified of a rerun of the 1992 General Election. Hence the softly softly approach. Media such as The Sun is less influential these days, and a lot of commentators fancy a change for a change's sake. I would like to see a certain East London MP charged with rape on the run up to the next Election. That would screw Sleazy Richy's Party nicely.
