Ok I’m happy 2009 it was rejected but I’m not sure since. I really am confused by the state of politics in our nation but I’m not sure new Labour has been rejected.

They seem very reluctant to drive the hard working lad made good, which is surely Starmer's USP. He *is* competent in his career before politics, and it's surely his abilities you need to drive, how he is a man who has achieved through his own hard work, not a silver spoon.and like Biden people will want competence but who the hell knows at the moment.
Well quite - it doesn’t mean much without a name, let’s see who’s making moves if it does change hands.Thats all well and good, but like Grendel on a match thread it doesn’t mean much without a name. Cooper is seemingly the best bet and she’s a female Starmer except more right wing economically.
He’s not going anywhere and all the left are doing with this constant hum of “Starmer should go” is exactly what the right did that got the left so upset 2015-17.
Boris is Teflon and the worlds luckiest politician. Not just Brexit but pandemic bounce as well and knowing our luck England will win a major tournament and make him even more untouchable

Making up your own straw man fallacy again shmmeee.
Let's face it, there will be enough vibrations going on in certain parts of Cov Labour tonight about the thought of Yvette Cooper becoming Labour leader to power Nuneaton for a couple of hours.
Don't worry that the public and Labour members have rejected New Labour on numerous occasions. Keep grabbing hold of that ever-shrinking Labour ticket in Coventry.
Getting your hedges in order?I still think Labour may cling onto Batley anyway
No chance at allBut I don't think that will register either.
Johnson is so teflon that people genuinely think he is a man of the people, one of us. The mind boggles. Doesn't seem to matter that he has £30k worth of takeaways paid for him, or gets people to pay for his home redecoration, or pay for his holidays.
Meanwhile the son of a working class toolmaker is an elitist snob.
What chance does he have?
Bloody hope soI still think Labour may cling onto Batley anyway

I don't think the Galloway plan will work and is more likely to take Tory votes - he is pro Brexit and a nationalist. I do not think the Muslim vote here is pro Labour especially with a gay pro Israel candidate
I think getting Jo Cox sister in is a shameless bit of politicking and don't agree with it but its bound to attract sympathy. The Muslim protests at Leadbetter will not go down well.
This has been a rather ugly and unpleasant campaign
So at the risk of starting a war, how did these election get on, did Labour get wiped out?
Find out tomorrow. Don’t think polling has closed yet.
That will be why grendel is strangely quiet then I guess... I was expecting to see him gloating
what are you on about ive posted today on this thread
It would be a miracle if they win this. They had some locals on the radio at lunchtime saying they were longtime Labour voters getting stuck into them for cuts to the local councils budget.I'd be very surprised if Labour win.
It’s genuinely terrifying how some of the locals have been hoodwinked into deflecting the blame away from the Tories.It would be a miracle if they win this. They had some locals on the radio at lunchtime saying they were longtime Labour voters getting stuck into them for cuts to the local councils budget.
I'd be very surprised if Labour win. They have absolutely no vision, terrified of their own shadow. Whilst the candidate rattles on about there being "no magic money tree" whilst the magic money tree has paid many people for over a year just shows how useless their strategists are. Trying to win yesterday's argument. Morons.

It was always thus really.The threatening funding shite is proper scummy campaigning. Shouldn’t be allowed. And is a load of bollocks anyway, see all the Tory councils that end up begging for cash recently.

However with devolvement etc, metro mayor's it's a simpler stchik to play especially under Osborne.
Yes I believe it was rejected at the outset but came to be as finance was linked at a time when councils were starved of funds and selling off assets to survive .You have to remember that Coventry Labour agreed to abide by the spending review as part of the devolution deal without even knowing what they were.
Coventry councillor says West Midlands Combined Authority is big smokescreen – AFTER vote to join
A LEADING Coventry Labour councillor has admitted the West Midlands Combined Authority is the \coventryobserver.co.uk
Always got to blame on the Labour right as well; Lucas, Ruane and Co with forcing this on to the people of Coventry without a referendum.
Apparently, populism was to blame.
With powers going from the City Council to the WMCA in the setting up of the combined authority, which made a referendum necessary, and also DEMSOC stating a referendum was also needed, then blame needs to be proportioned to the advice Coventry Labour received from certain officers from CCC, and of course, to the Labour right in Coventry and other Labour councils as well as the Tory Party in general.
Not saying those odds are dodgy, but the NIP didn’t even field a candidate.Any idea on the policies of the fifth party on that list?
They’ve got better odds than the lib dums!!
