  1. “We’ll beat #Reform by defeating their arguments rather than changing the rules to stop them getting money from #ElonMusk” -->
    It's this moronic naivity that loses #centreleft parties seats & governments all around the world. And it is always sadder to die by friendly moronic fire: thank you #Starmer! Merry Crimbo to us all 🎄 🎄 🎄 !

  2. "Labour has gone to great lengths to make clear that nothing substantial will change."

    "Centrist rule, typified by the incapability or unwillingness to take seriously the manifold crises humanity now faces, only increases the political dissatisfaction on which the far-right feeds. The […] Tories – or Reform itself – may well return renewed and worsened in 2029 when public frustration sees Labour’s exercise in political nothingness collapse."

  3. Adopting #rightwing policies ‘does not help #CentreLeft win votes’

    Study of European electoral data suggests social democratic parties alienate supporters by moving towards the political centre

    "More of the same" is what you get if the #toriesOut sneak back in again on the back of a distrust amonsgst many of the electorate of the far left were #labour daft enough to repeat the failed corbyn experiment

    Fortunately that will not happen and odds are good we will have a #centreLeft govt again to heal the nation after #2024GE

  5. Hi. I'm theaardvark, known by analogue people as Paul Taylor. I'm new-ish to the Fediverse, on Mastodon for a year at @[email protected] and MetaPixl for a few months at @[email protected]
    There seemed to be a decent amount of chat about Calckey and *key on Mastodon, so I created this account to try it.
    I'm not sure yet what I'll use this account for. I'm open to suggestions from existing Calckey users as to how they use it alongside other social media.
    I am a
    #VAT (tax) manager for an international retailer. In my spare time, I'm a #LabourParty councillor on #Burntwood Town Council and #Lichfield District Council. My politics, which has recently become more important to me, are #CentreLeft, socially #progressive, #woke, #LGBTQI+ #ally with a focus on #LocalGovernment and local issues.
    I have
    #ADHD and #ASD1 (#Autism Spectrum Disorder level 1 / #Aspergers) - diagnosed at age 50, #aphantasia, irregular #depression cycles, type 2 #diabetes and frequent #insomnia. I talk openly about all of these.
    I'm based in the
    #Midlands, #UK.

    I do not like such personal attacks and I am not sure they work for #labour - but recalling the "devil-Eyes" Blair ad and Kinnock inside a light-bulb I do not think #toriesOut have any moral right to complain.....

    Really I think more confident exposition of sensible #centreLeft policies and clear exposure of the dreadful legacy of #sunak and earlier tory leaders for 13 years should be more than enough to win

  7. @potatogunkelly @OliverNoble @labour

    fair comment - to be clear I am way more concerned about votes than popularity - and totally unconcerned about #starmer being unpopular with those emotionally committed to renationalisation or electoral reform or whatever

    I just want a #centreLeft govt instead of the #toriesOut - are you not sick of them?

  8. @FlixtonTom @LJClements8 @OliverNoble

    So ....lobby for it - starting with your local #labour candidate

    I think all the criticism aimed at #starmer is missplaced - he is a conventional #centreLeft #labour leader

  9. @justinionn @pennine

    You and all #libDems

    I want #labour to get a big majority, #reform #ukPolitics to prevent #toryCorruption ever being possible again - save the #NHS, normalise our politics to the #centreLeft then win again

  10. @GeofCox

    You misrepresent the "collapsed centre" - I regard myself as #centreleft (others see me as extreme left or right depending where they sit on the political spectrum) in that I never vote Tory & thought #blair wasted some of his opportunity to transform, but regretted the later choice of corbyn mostly on the grounds he would lose elections

    But "centre" is not a synonym for "things are not too bad" - as you would realise if you consider the howls of anger from centrists over #brexit

  11. @stefing

    just because some idiots say something don;t make it so

    This #toryParty is firmly on the right - and #labour is #centreLeft - as it must be to #winPower

    The #farLeft never want to admit reality.....and for some the #tories are never far enough to the right
