I'd rather a petition to the PLP. Make Larry the leader of the Labour party.
Yep well considering the US leadership is basically following 1930s Germany as a guide.
The exact reason the ICC was formed. Yeah objections are to be expected.
Not every house receives mail every day.
By reducing the days 2nd class is added to the deliveries. The number of houses the. Postman has to stop at is hugely reduced on those days. Meaning the routes can be finished faster. R more routes by less people.
At a guess I'd say in an average street those days would have about 25% less stops/driveways to walk down etc.
It will have little or no effect in large blocks of flats where all postboxes are in the same room. More common in cities. But for suburban and rural deliveries the effect will be huge. Even in terraced streets with no front garden. It would be a small but notable change in time taken.
PS. Not saying it's a good thing. Just pointing out why a corporate money hustler would want to do it.
Some of those yep. But the majority are questionable. Looking at them with any sceptical thinking.
Nationalising rail. Seems left wing to me.
Yep
Nationalising steel. Seems left wing to me.
Temp national control. No actual plans to leave it nationalised. Much like the Tories did to failing rail franchises. Not left wing. Just desperation. More like Tory temp rail nationalisation of franchises to avoid bankruptcy / loss of survice. Then actual attempts to move left.
Nationalising parts of our energy sector. Seems left wing to me.
Nationalising part to avoid the whole. This is more a way of using gov money to support private investment in green energy. Then for the gov to control the market or essential inferstructure.
They’re increasing workers rights in a bunch of different ways. Seems left wing to me.
Leftish. But more a move towards less extreme right of Tories. The right they are returning were added during the thatcher etc period.
They’ve significantly hiked minimum wage. Seems left wing to me.
Sounds exactly like Tory policies to me. The Tories spent years claiming they wanted work to pay. And significantly increased min wage.
They’ve implemented a windfall tax targeting profiteering energy firms. Left wing.
As did the Tories.
Placing VAT on private schooling. Left wing.
Yep def left.
Means testing WFA. Left wing.
Given the method of means testing leaves only the very desperate covered. While pensioners on blow living wage income still cannot cover rising bills. Not to mention it is very openly declared as a cost saving measure to avoid taxing the wealthy.
No it is just more right wing then even the Tories were willing to be.
Placing taxes on non-doms. Left wing.
Yep
Invested a great deal more in infrastructure. Left wing.
Promised to. While openly stating they have 0 ways to fund it. But will not tax the huge increase in wealth disparity created over the Tory gov.
No it's just the same 40 hospitals, North investment, we will build more houses. That the Tories roll out every time their polls look bad.
Capped public transport costs. Left wing.
So the Tories are left wing.
This was a Tory policy policy. Literally labour limited the rise in cost to 50%. Because they knew they did not have the support to cancel it.
Implementing stricter rules for landlords. Left wing.
Yes
Essentially restarting SureStart in all but name. Left wing.
Promises promises. But I'll wait to see some real funding before assuming it's not more desperation. Remember this and the investment in inferstructure only happened when polling indicated disaster.
All of this looked like an attempt to avoid the 120 welfare objectors pushing for a no confidence vote,
Changing inheritance tax to squash loopholes surrounding buying up farmland. Left wing.
Yep.
Ending the use of offshore trusts as a way to avoid inheritance tax. Left wing.
Yep. But also a little we will catch tax avoiders. Something the Tories keep claiming every election. But yes some action is good.
Bringing the NHS back under direct public control. Left wing.
Yep
Expanding green energy. Left wing
Promises. And also an open Tory policy pre them heading more right wing around Bojo time. Both the left and right have a history of pushing green.
Pre Bojo it green was no longer a left wing policy but one seen as required by all parties. Funding methods was the only diff. And labour are using private investment.
This is more the moving overton window pushing post election Tory party away from it. Then labour being left.
They are not. More to the point they are not legally binding.
But the corps etc recognise that most employees do not have the funds for good legal advice. So use such docs to scare the shit out of victims.
Hence why this law is needed. It basically bans the language in a contract. Honestly I don't think it goes far enough.
Employment contracts that contain any unenforceable clueses should be a crime. Companies should be forced to either use standard safe contracts. Or pay a lawyer to ensure they are not adding unenforceable language.
EDIT: sorry to up voters. I tend to take time to edit to get my ideas down. So much may have been reworded as you read it. I'm finished now and will only fix typos is pointed out. I'm severely visually impaired so typos are common. Also can spell for shit.
The idea farage can gain by splitting the Tory vote. But a new left party cannot gain when the left vote is already split to hell. With a huge % out right not voting.
Is just not logical anymore.
I assume most down voters are starting to recognise that now.
Labour has lost the hope of such a huge % of the left wing voters. They won the last election more due to Tory non voting then labour voters.
And that was before attacks on disabled. Authoritarian arrest of Gaza anti genacide supporters. And totally refusing to address the huge wealth gap creating the cost of living crisis.
They have lost a huge % of polling post the election.
So the logic that not voting Labour will lead to reform. Also a vote splitting party. Rather then coalescing the left of centre vote around a new party that actually listens to left voters. Makes no sense.
Consider these facts, Reforms percieved risk is because reform is seen to be listening to Right Wing voters post the Tory failed election. The very new anti Tory right of centre voters Starmer attempted to appeal to in the election. While literally dragging along a small % Left of centre voters who fear Tories.
Labours polling shows a huge loss of trust in even the small % of left wing voters. As the Starmer government has continued the worst of Tory policies. While: increasing attacks on disabled, Censoring opposition to the Gaza genacide (imprisoning protesters for supporting an idea not their activities), showing huge curruption in accepting gifts etc (exactly like the Tory govs).
Add to that the very insistence in refusing to raise taxes on those that have gained the most wealth over the last 2 decades. IE capital gains and non PAYE based ttaxes.Basically refusing to challenge the tory press arguments of any tax rise is breaking their promise. (Clearly a Tory press lie.)
Over all ATM polling indicates. Without a huge leadership change and reverse in direction. Their is absolutely no hope of Labour winning the election. And not much hope of a coalition with any Left of centre party currently existing.
Worth adding. With the current PLP while a leadership change is possible. A dramatic change in direction is not. Labour atm has a functional majority of Right of centers MPs. As shown by the recent fight over the PIP bill. And how much of a non change it took to win most over.
The most likely result in 2029 ATM is a Tory reform coalition. And let's face it. Unlike the 2010 Lib Dems. Reform will not be changing their perceived ideals post coalition. The Tories will be moving closer to reform policy. Not the other way around.
Labours current actions make this more likely not less. All they are doing is trying to split reforms support. While pushing more centre right in that direction.
The only hope of a true Left of centre change. Is a left wing party willing to listen to and form the most broadly acceptable Left of centre policies. Actually forming a party (or changing an existing one but I don't see that happening). That can win the majority of left support. Amd start to push the overton window back.
The only true negative I see. Is Lack of a leader that can win the respect of both far left and left of centre voters.
Nope. Just because a majority disapprove of an idea. Is in no way a reason for that idea to be removed from view.
On the other hand. If parent wants to prevent their children from being exposed to an idea they disagree with. Then those parent need to be with the children and monitor the books they read or select from a library. Just like the internet.
They do not get to enforce their censorship on the children of parents who do not worry about such simple ideas. Even if those parents are a minority.
Hiding ideas from view. Is just confession that they lack the ability to effectively argue against it.
Added to idea they recognise very simple geometry
The fact they communicated the idea to at least 11 Wales. Then openly demonstrating this fact to humans.
Is way more sci fi plot like. Sounds very like a star trek tng plot idea. Alien sludge creatures trying to prove to another race. That they are more then lighting oil to be killed and sold in barrels.
Or
Hey those killer Wales. They are only giving you fish. So you trust them close to your boats again.
They plan to leap into the small ones and capsize you. Then they will present us with monkey hats.
Labour plp and the leadership. Who is at the end of it who you vote for.
Is not in any way left wing anymore. The shit their doing is more blue then red.
The members may be broad. But the party no longer pay any attention to them.
Sorry. But if you plan to vote labour next election. You are not a red voter.
No. Not arresting them. Arresting people for holding signs supporting them. That is extremely authoritarian. And has fuck all value but as a form of censorship. Arresting people for supporting an idea out right fascism.
