Does anyone even care what Own Goal has to say?
(Apart from those who foam at the mouth at every little thing he does)

I love the Union connection to Labour.
However if they're cutting funding then let's cut their influence and voting at conference. They'll get nothing better from the Cons or other parties. Labour members will Just need to cough up more when necessary, if this Union takes this petty line. Any sort of niggling re Labour and some Union leaders, actually could benefit Labour as the softer or swing voters of other parties think the Unions aren't dominating,or getting away with trying to. If this woman was happy to see millions handed to a campaign and leader that COULDN'T win. Yet now would pull the plug on a campaign and policy making not even known or needed yet, with a leader who just may have the ability and chance to end the majority rule of this PM and the Cons. Then she's perhaps the wrong person to be leading anything in my view. Last edited by joeysteele; 03-12-2021 at 09:06 AM. |

everyone goes on about the dodgy deals the tories do with donors/employers/brown envelopes, quite rightly, but the union money dependent on influencing policy is just as bad, if not worse. It may all be out in the open, but its still a case of ... you can have this money if you do that

The Labour party was born from the Union movement.
I have no gripe with the Con donors as long as it's all made known and from who. The Unions are a big part of the employment process. Connected strongly to the Labour party. It seems Cons think Labour shouldn't get any regular income. While turning a blind eye to the massive donations to their own party. Known or unknown. Unless the day comes whereby political parties are state funded. Which I can't see taxpayers being happy at all about. Then they need income from other sources. The political membership of parties could never cover election costs alone. If the Unions should NOT donate and have consultation and influence on Labour policy. Then neither too should ANY source be able to donate to the CON party either. Good luck with getting the Cons to agree to that one. Last edited by joeysteele; 03-12-2021 at 09:44 AM. |

Trevor Phillips (SkyNewsHD)
asked Jim McMahon (Labours New Environment Minister) a great Question he asked, "are you going to do a deal with the SNP or Farage?, to get into power" Jim said "not really, we just want to get into power" Great question as without Scotland Labour will stay out of power Last edited by arista; 05-12-2021 at 10:08 AM. |

I don’t think the tories are beatable in the UK without SNP coalition of some description. I think it’s genuinely just not possible at this point. And even if you’re a Tory, that’s simply not a good thing, ineffective opposition in parliament is bad for everyone.

I see Angela Rayner's still in the picture after calling Tories "scum" just before one was stabbed to death. Shameful.

Veteran Labour MP Harriet Harman has announced she will stand down at the next general election.
She revealed her decision in an email to her local party in Camberwell and Peckham on Tuesday morning after almost 40 years as their MP. She promised to "work energetically" until the next polling day. But Ms Harman said she would then leave the Commons "now confident that Labour is gaining strength under the leadership of Keir Starmer". Labour MP Karen Buck called her a "guiding light and inspiration for women in politics", while former MP and now West Yorkshire Mayor, Tracey Brabin, called her "the original glass ceiling smasher". The 71-year-old became an MP in 1982 and has held a raft of posts in the party - including two brief stints as leader after Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband stepped down. She served as deputy leader for both men, but is perhaps better known for her feminist campaigning in Parliament and as Mother of the House - the woman with the longest continuous service in the Commons. |

Starmer has given an Exclusive to Times Radio DAB
and free online. The presenter Ayesha Hazarika worked under new labour. At the end of the interview she asked him for his vision of the UK. He said a "New Britain" under him. I thought, sounds like new labour, again. |
