Is Labour finished?

I'm not agreeing with what he said (I think we should shoot her, bullets are cheaper than deportation flights). I just think the reaction to what he said is stupid and self defeating. He was insulting her policies and fascist tendencies, the fact she's a Coconut is clearly not a factor in what he said.

Oh dear, will the Labour Party ever cease to be entertainment?
So Diane Abbott says Keir Starmer has to go if Labour lose the Batley and Spen (no, i've never heard of Spen either) by-election to the Tories.

Did she ever stop to think that Labour might do better if she, for one, was gone?
Keir Starmer is the least of Labour's problems - and he's a big enough one. This Labour lot surely do live in some kind of super-isolated bubble.

You haven't heard of the Spen Valley - famous only for its cyclepath because the rest of it is a shit-hole in comparison? Shame on you

Ms Abbott has clearly smelled some coffee and senses that Kier Starmer is on his way out. She is positioning herself with the far-left once more in an attempt to gain a Shadow Cabinet seat, probably Chancellor of the Exchequer because No.11 gets a free cat...

To pull such a dirty trick (and in politics the bottom is way, way down in the abyss) they'll have to win by a decisive margin to call it a "victory." That being said a narrow squeak is probably the best thing for everyone: Labour can kid themselves they "still got it!" and Queer Stammer will be quietly persuaded to wind back on all the changes and keep the party heading Left.

Already halfway there with the shit-show of a cabinet reshuffle.

I was listening to the Murican/UK comedic Rich Hall this afternoon.
He was describing the british as he would to fellow Muricans.

Described J. Corbyn as a man that, 'looked like the last fcuking drumstick in a bucket of KFC'.

Back to the question in the thread title:

Keir Starmer needs to end Labour’s civil war

An article as partisan as it is depressing... if you're a Labour supporter or anyone who believes Parliament deserves a credible opposition party

The internal politics are described as "a warzone" and that's only outpaced by the dwindling money reserves. Not good.

Since the Labour Party is going though a period of such unpopularity, I think now would be a good time for it to split into its various factions as separate parties.

Might as well have a British Woke Party, let that stuff stand on its own merits (or lack thereof).

Let's have a Rejoin the EU Party (offices in Islington). Or that group could all just migrate to the Lib Dems (if they still exist).

And the traditional Labourites (if there are any left in the party) can have their own party, within which they can figure out if they're still relevant in the modern world (they might be, but I think they need to reassert their case, cos I for one don't really see it right now). Or is that what George Galloway is?

Wouldn't surprise me if the Conservative Party ended up splitting before long either, the way things are going.

Perhaps they're all just irrelevant now, and we do need new parties with fresh ideologies to go forwards into the Brave New World future.

Expect them to start pressing for “electoral reform” since they keep losing.

https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/democracy-vote-reform-conservative-labour-b1894343.html

So 44% voted Tory yet they got 80% of the seats… not fair on the 56% who didn’t vote for them? But those 56% oppose each other too, so they can’t be considered as united in anything except resentment at losing the election.

How I would love there to be a party that isn't hampered by institutionalised dogma.

If we need immigration, we have immigration as we need it. If we don't need immigration we curtail immigration and with out the tag 'racist' being slandered right left or centre.

If there is a need to renationalise something, railways say, we do it because it's necessary, not because it's party dogma and vise versa.

If we, the country, haven't got the money to do something, it doesn't happen because, same as people can't live on tick, neither can a country. Once we have paid off our debts, we will have much more to spend on important things like me.

etc. etc.

Will never happen though.
