Yes, tbf some labour councils do little to help themselves regardless of how constrained they are
But he's some ex Labour bloke staffer, not even an MP, with 16k followers.
Why does that cut through more than the Prime Minister saying the working class are feckless criminals, chavs and losers?

I had a spat with him on twitter. He was ok. Think he realised that I was right. A few on here could take a leaf out of his book!

About Labour’s voter coalition in 2017:
I doubt it does. I just came across it on Twitter, like the above post and thought it showed that the centrists in Labour can be just as deluded as the rest about the electorate.
As for the second bit, to most people “Boris” is a friendly shambolic character who’s a bit of a shagger and up for a laugh. He says things he’s “not supposed to” but don’t we all eh? At least he’s not a PC fun sponge.
This is a good explanation: Why Johnson will always get away with it

A classic piece of Starmer spin - we all know it’s 25 seconds
Absolutely.
And to most people that's more important than any policy, or actually improving the state of the country, or helping out those worse off in society.
And that's what really fucking grates.

Lee Hurst and Matt Le Tissier are bad from what I've seen. Shame cos Le Tissier was one of my footballing idols growing up.

I just cannot wait for Gareth Snell to go on TV calling for Starmer to resign after the assumed dreadful results of the WMCA race.
As the Labour campaign manager for the race, it is almost like he is duty-bound to do this.
He doesn't even need to wait for the result. Just get on TV early and set the tone for the results.

Why would I disagree with that ? But let's not pretend that that Labour is this Labour..

I mean at its core it definitely is. Left wing views are left wing views. Wipe all the crap off and there’s just someone who wants higher wages, better working conditions, more home ownership and education for more people and no one left behind. It’s the incessant squabbling about the other 99% of politics that does us in these days.

Is this what you mean by more home ownership?

Pretty fucking vulgar using Townshend as an example tbh. Regardless of his wrong doings. Didn't the Conservatives deliver 0 starter homes of a promised 200,000 recently?I'm struggling with these Coventry Labour values.

No, definitely not vulgar. He was deputy leader. His actions should be taken into account. I can't see how his death in any way adds or subtracts to what happened when he was in office.

The relevance is quite clear. These elections are Local Elections. About local Councillors. About people who want to represent Coventry.
I would say individual personal values are a big thing on what people get elected by.
I would say the values shown by the former deputy leader drop well below acceptable common standards.

Ridiculous way to decide who to vote for. Yes there are dodgy councillors, in a population of several thousand that will happen. No it doesn’t tell you anything.
