The Labour Thread

[Super_horns]

Are they really going to be ready for power or win enough votes in 2/3 years time?

Sure Labour did better than expected in the election but still some way behind the Tories who messed up and will be under pressure from the Brexit situation.

But can they attract the older vote?

Skinner a savage. Dunno why they don't let hiM loose on the prime time shows that report on owt political. Love to see him light up that unreal Piers prick. https://twitter.com/UK_LDC/status/912583929751904256

Did you see his speech at the Labour conference about it being the best manifesto since 1945? The shortened clip was excellent but in the full version he was shouting triumphantly how Labour would 'borrow, borrow, borrow' to pay for Labour's plan. Very convenient that the borrowing line didn't make it.

I'd like to see Labour make an attack on employment agencies next. They erode the earnings of the worker and strip away their rights. In the education sector they are taking enormous sums of cash from schools. It would be an easy political win IMO.

I understand they want to keep ownership of that wall and everything but fucking hell it's complete censorship to anything that slightly challenges their view. http://www.jewishsocialist.org.uk/n...-group-statement-in-support-of-moshe-machover

It still grates me that he doesn’t raise his eyebrow like Roger Moore there.

 

[Abertawe]

What a bloody turnaround. It's time to concentrate on taking out the SNP now.

This is some staggering polling. Tories bumping mid 30's now. They're done.

No, they can't.

Labour are nailing social media now. They were surprisingly rubbish in the first year or so of Corbyn's leadership but now they know exactly what sort of thing works and they're doing a lot of it.

Just hope hope hope that the Spectator starts doing memes. That would be so good.

 

[Ian_Wrexham]

thought this was an interesting article about the way Labour gear their political strategy towards social media (by Stephen Bush, who is pretty much the only political journalist worth bothering with).

[Jockney]

Does make you wonder how commitment to this sort of rhetoric will translate to the practicalities of taking on the City. Either way, it's heartening that the discourse has changed so radically in such a short space of time.

Erm what about Matthew D'Ancona???
