Buy me a coffee!
You won’t be surprised to hear that I agree with you 100%.
What is Labour’s game? What do they stand for?
I haven’t a clue as a voter. None at all.
PSR and Richard,
I hope I haven’t posted this here before, but certainly have on Facebook (I’ve reached my anecdotage, when one forgets people have heard your stories before!), but here’s my take on Starmer’s Labour.
Starmer is Labour’s King James ll and Vll. Like James, he came in on the back of his predecessor’s popularity, & in no time squandered it by his obsessive, one-track thinking.
With James it was the (admirable) goal of religious freedom for all, including Catholics. With Starmer it’s the (less than admirable) defence of Israel & Zionism.
Both successors lacked, and have lacked, their predecessors’ empathy & emotional intelligence. Alienation ensued under James ll. And ensues now under Starmer? Yes.
Never forget, Charles, James ll’s far more savvy, emotionally intelligent brother, restored the monarchy, & lasted 25 years on the throne, to his death. James, by contrast, alienated all the goodwill he inherited, & was booted out and replaced on 3 years!
Starmer’s future IMO! In fact, I’d be surprised if he lasts much longer than the local elections. Even if Labour performs creditably in those elections (which will, of course, be puffed up by the deluded Starmerrhoids and Starmerites), it won’t save him.
Only a landslide will, and as Labour is trailing the Tories by 2 or 3% (remember “Anyone but Corbyn would be 20 points ahead”?), I don’t see that happening.
Instead, I think he’s heading for Trumpian exile.
PS: his latest wheeze, appointing an Israeli former spy to oversee internal Labour Party communications is in keeping with his obsessiveness.

IMO, he is actually taking the p*** out of the members here, arrogantly assuming he’s so much ‘in control’, that he can do whatever he wants. Mistaken, in my opinion.
Really good interview Richard there – I forgot to come back and comment straight after watching it, so it’s not fresh enough for me to make further comment (head’s too full of too many other things just now!)
Thanks
