I saw a post from the Downing Street spokesperson repeated here from the other place earlier. Is it their fault if our media is a cesspool of not very balanced coverage ?

Yes it is. The media never reports a counter-narrative because Labour doesn’t provide one. The messaging from Labour today has accepted the underlying premise of Farage’s policies. It was far, far worse than useless. It was spineless, ineffectual and an utter betrayal of the real British values.

I mean, they literally put out a statement that was ignored..?

Is this "I saw a post from the Downing Street spokesperson repeated here from the other place earlier. Is it their fault if our media is a cesspool of not very balanced coverage ?" Because putting things on "The other place" is not how governments should be communicating.

Yeh it would be nice if they actually moved here instead of the trying to please the other place residents. However, keeping their head down and actually getting on with the job and trying to get voted back in on an actual record might just work..

I didn’t realise “getting on with the job” was demonising migrants, pushing disabled into poverty, raising unemployment and tearing apart your own vote share by acting like a bunch of Tories. The Labour Party, Keir Starmer and Morgan McSweeney are far more than a disappointment. They are awful.

Quite a lot of assumptions there, well done for skipping way ahead in the conversation making many assumptions.. good for you 👍🏻

You’re straying close to getting bot/propaganda accusations there with the “assumptions” line, as my list are all things labour have done so far. Good for you for ignoring the disgusting policies this nasty government has enacted, you’re just like a Tory voter! Have a gold star, Tory boy.

Hahaha. Yeh I’m definitely a Tory supporting four kids renting a house and a vulnerable wife. They really helped me out..
aug 26, 2025, 9:28 pm • 0 0 • view
A vulnerable wife, and you support labour when they’ve slashed welfare brutally? Do you have any shame or are you not even a real person and that’s just a load of lies?

Nah. They're torching their electoral coalition. Fuck them. As for 'the statement', pathetic moral cowardice. Ian Dunt is right.

Clearly the answer is Corbean, again. Shame he’s too unreliable to even be considered good enough for even a councillor position 😂

Woah there, Corbyn, who brought him up? You people are obsessed with Corbyn. I don’t care about Corbyn, you clearly do, a lot. Are you a bot, or are you McSweeney’s burner, because I’ve just touched a Corbyn nerve there 😂

I love using that little line because it really touches a nerve. Mainly because shameless labour supporters like yourself feel slighted that you’re acting like a load of Tories. You can’t take it deep down that you are what you hate: Tory.

I guess Starmer-stans really only can conceive of two worlds. One run by Starmer/McSweeney, and one by Corbyn. Must be nice to have it so easy.

I don’t even like Corbyn. I voted for him. I don’t even like him. Yet that’s the first thing this Starmer Stan has. It’s hilarious. They’re in a cult.

Except their record consists of telling anyone to the left of David Cameron that Labour will implement the policies they want over their dead bodies. So that is not going to be much of a record to run on.

Do you mean the statement that vindicated Farage's underlying policy while mildly criticising the details of how he intended to do it? Where Ellie Reeves literally took issue on the basis that Iran might not agree to take people back? Labour should hope and pray that that statement gets ignored.
aug 26, 2025, 9:18 pm • 1 0 • view
Erm yeh pretty much that. Iran is not gonna agree to a ‘returns agreement’ so FauxRage is talking shit again. Anyone that needs their government to point that out to them, well.. probably couldn’t find the voting station, or their elbow..

Oh, you're going for the slightly rude amended version of a name approach to political argument now?

Jesus! Just listen to yourself. Remember Iran? You know, that country that is run by the evil Ayatollahs and happily tortures people? And your problem with Farage saying he will return people there is that Iran won't agree to it?
aug 26, 2025, 9:26 pm • 1 0 • view
First, of course Iran will accept back the people it wants to torture and kill. Secondly, how can you live with yourself that THAT is your criticism of the policy, and not that it is evil incarnate? And people wonder why Nazis sometimes succeed.
