Can this be true - new / old labor be careful what you ask for with welcoming turn coats as it may not turn out well with the resident momentum band

[Andydevon]

Well is this a sign of new Labour or the old labour or should I say momentum band? Abacus Abbot supported by two homes Raynor to be reinstated as a labour MP.

Diane Abbott lashes out at Labour welcoming defector Natalie Elphicke

The veteran left-winger, who has been MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington since 1987, has had the Labour whip withdrawn for more than a year.

Apparently momentum and other labour MPs. And party members are not to happy with that recent Tory MP for Dovor defecting to them

Day 1 all smiles with Starmer. Day 2 apologizing for the rather over familiar attention of her husband. Maybe not the best start for Starmers new labour.

We need to start charging by the letter for thread titles.

Polls say otherwise

Polls say otherwise

Certainly true but what will Labour actually do ? Other than blame the previous administration.

If I were them I would be lowering expectations but that’s not going to happen, so huge numbers of voters will be very disappointed, very soon

Yes sorry a bit long winded. Unfortunate a bit like anything the opposition says and promises. Its a different matter when they are in power. May I take the liberty of reminding you of this fact when Starmer get elected?

Social media is bringing the current government down and WILL bring down the next one. That’s the political cycle now

Labour and momentum need to split.

The fact momentum use such a name (to be different) emphasises that .

They are different, but it's easy to criticise and call them the same. It's like the Tories and the Erg (and other groups).

Diane illustrates why she is out. Truss and other Tory do it regularly.

 

[Andydevon]

When or if Labour are reelected with two homes Rayner as deputy how long will it take?

Angela Rayner wants to see Diane Abbott back as Labour MP

Labour suspended Diane Abbott for saying Irish, Jewish, and Traveller people do not face racism "all their lives".

If they act with a tiny bit of dignity and a modicum of decorum, maybe social media will have no say in things.

Ha, ha, ha.

You need to take your blinkers off

I've not seen any voter having high expectations

You seem to be setting up a strawman
