Not sure if youโre interested but I think I may have solved Labourโs comms overnight! Shame they wonโt employ my strategy though ๐

@lbc.co.uk Jamesโ call in can be solved with one word.
Why are the papers warmongering?
Answer: Nationalism
I donโt think he gave him as much a hard time as he should have
James OโBrien tends to treat people spreading bilge fairer if they have posh accent; it sounds like heโs having an intellectual joust.
If that man calling from Dubai had a regional accent he would treat them like an idiot, which that caller was.

Out of interest, what is it about Burnham you donโt like?
She was embarrassing. But her knocking โStarmer around the parkโ should be emphasised as Starmer being incredibly weak, rather than it being a result of her political merit.
If this is the standard, I worry for the UK
I've never observed a wider gap between self-confidence and lack of any actual understanding than in Badenoch. On other topics it can be comical, but when it extends to undermining gov't on matters of national security, in breach of established conventions, it is profoundly dangerous. #PMQs
The UKโs right wing media are currently lambasting a UK prime minister for not waging an illegal war in the Middle Eastโฆ they have learned nothing from Iraq have they? The likelihood is, one of your grandparents are digesting this bilge on their television every morning with their cup of tea
Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.
The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

I hate people talking about โregime changeโ. People really should look up the definition of what a regime is.
All of a sudden moving to Dubai because you canโt be arsed to contribute to society doesnโt seem so attractive.
I wonder where the first place these โexpatsโ will seek refuge when Dubai international airport opens again?
Great news. This must not now be about โregime changeโ by putting the shah in place for the purpose of the Americans extracting oil for their own financial gain. A proper transition towards democracy must be put in place to give the Iranian people the right to self determination.
๐จBREAKING๐จ Robert Jenrick has defected from Reform to the Greens.
Being pushed to third in Gorton & Denton, one of our safest seats, is an indictment of the governmentโs current approach.
Unless we get back to core Labour values, we are heading for disaster.
Intellectually, they are already thereโฆ preventing stitch ups like in this election is another as they donโt currently hold the power.
Starmer should have seen the train coming with mandleson, but Labour together and Blue Labour just can not help themselves.
Anyone in Labour who is of the tribune or mainstream ilk have their vision for the country that would deliver for the working classes.
They need to wrestle the Labour right
What Labour need to do is find a new position to take, a line that also offers people hope, and doesnโt just scapegoat migrants like reform, because 1) itโs immoral and 2) because it hasnโt worked!
What really annoys me about this is that Kier Starmer is going to ignore this result and head towards May on self destruct.
What also annoys me is that up and down the country, local CLPโs are going to be on radio silence.
Labour are no longer the only party to defeat the far right.
What point are you trying to make here?
Why donโt you just concede that you got cultish real quick and recognise sometimes there can be 2 or more correct answers to 1 question.
Yet it is me with nothing relevant to say apparently
Iโm not insulting anyone, you havenโt addressed the point about nuance and factors.
You simply had a kneejerk reaction and just said โsomething something that message take a long time to writeโฆ โ
Yet it was you who bought him up
What a clinically online thing to say
I never started this conversation as a Corbynista and I didnโt end it as one. I like him, but his leadership wasnโt the greatest and there are valid critiques of him.
I lionise no political figure; and I certainly wonโt be indoctrinated into the cult of any politician
Howโs that played out Lorraine? Wake up. Labour need to start delivering for the British people and tack left
Or you just canโt hold 2 thoughts in your head at once and understand nuance or multifaceted issues. When do educate yourself in humanities past gcse level it means you can write essays that include something called โfactorsโ.
Huh? Blown my cover? ๐คฃ
Yeah I agree they sabotaged him. But he also didnโt help himself; the wishy washy play both sides of Brexit because he was secretly a brexiteer also damaged the result of the 2019 election.We need to remember, yes Corbyn got a large amount of the vote share, but Boris Johnson got more red wall seats
