      The only way to get starmer out is to get on the streets and protest peacefully and there is a 22 billion pounds blackhole just look at the bank of England income statement which shows a unrealized loss on the guilts portfolio fact starmer should have been thrown out after the stupidity in September in particular the UK is bancrupt

      @@mdhightide1860 Actually Starmer achieved far worse election results than Labour did under Corbyn in absolute terms of votes or even percentage terms, but thanks to the self-destructing Tory collapse, the corporate media rallying to his Blairite cause, and the bizarre vagaries of our nonsensical FPTP system he still got a big majority. To do what? Precisely what the Tories were doing anyway. Get over it yourself.

      @DarrenSmith-tq2xz Checking the £ to $ rate, it seems it's the same now as it was in 2016, so it's curious you think the recent rise in energy rates in the last couple of years is a result of a £ that's as strong now as it was a decade. I guess the energy companies were just 8 years late in their adjustments?
      As for the debt, lol. I would really love to know who you debt watchers think the debt is owed to. Because it seems to me that if the UK can't pay back its debt, then it's the people who are owed the debt who have a problem. As for how bad the debt actually is, in 2020 the national debt was 81% of GDP.
      In 1919 it was 135% of GDP.
      In 1923 it was 181% of GDP.
      In 1947 after WW2 it was 238% of GDP.
      I'm no history boff, but if we didn't go bankrupt then, I struggle to see why you think we're suddenly going to go bankrupt now. But then you're clearly the expert here so who am I to question you, random TH-cam poster, when facts exist.

    There is zero possibility of us building 1.5 million houses. Where are we going to build them that has the services in place? Sewerage treatment, water supplies, electricity, schools and hospitals, feeder roads etc. Not enough skilled labour.
    The land needs to be purchased, schemes designed and planning permission obtained. That is only the start of the process. Other approvals are required, work tendered and houses constructed. If you started today, you would be lucky to be selling the first houses 2 years from now.
    One of the priorities that this country needs to do is invest in the cheapest forms of energy production and storage. It is currently on shore wind, followed by hydro. If we have lower energy bills we may find that our competitiveness in some industries improves, brick making, steel and cement production. Would also help reduce everyone's energy bills.

    I don't see any way we can get a proper Labour government this year, or anything like one, unless the vast majority of the present Labour mps were somehow, tragically, to get wiped out, a General election were to be called, and Jeremy Corbyn and his independent colleagues were to form an alliance with those actual socialists that were all that remained of the Labour party, together with George Galloway's WS party, with people of the calibre of Craig Murray being elected, and they were prepared to form an alliance with the Greens, the SNP, Plaid Cwmru & maybe even the Lib. Dem.s - on the basis that any government formed would change the voting system, would devolve powers to the regions more, and would actually behave like a left of centre Government.
    Also on my wish list, that won't occur of course, would be things like the arraignment of Boris Johnson and others on grounds of mendaciousness, questionable probity (or even corruption) and poor judgement (Lis Truss is one of many who spring to mind in the last regard, there being many others who I could name, but won't - some of which might be controversial choices for some - on the basis of their bad governance, and their colluding with and justifying of war-mongering and genocide). This, I fear, is the stuff of dreams, but it's a lot better, imo, than the nightmare of either more of the same, or, Gawd forbid, an alliance between Tories and Reform to misgovern us.

      @@Pomegranate_David I have my misgivings about some of GG's pronouncements and attitudes as well, but I think you may be missing my point. The left is very good at being argumentative with itself, in-fighting and nit picking over small, or maybe not quite so small differences. What's required, if anything is going to change, is to set aside differences and for the left to work together, but eliminate those elements, which / who are plainly traitorous infiltrat-ions/-ors. That doesn't mean that only "Working Class" people should be included - Tony Benn would have been excluded on that basis, but people who call themselves socialists who, at best, could be called champagne socialists, and people who, like Starmer, would be unable to sign up to a basic leftist agenda, or who are just entryist careerists, such as Blair, Campbell or Mandelson, should not be welcomed.
      On the other hand, the idea that good candidates were being deselected by H.O. / Starmer is anathema, and should, imo, tell us all that there is something badly wrong with a party that has been taken over by the right of the PLP!, which has become, itself, further right than is good for democratic balance, and has, imo, lost the party the right to call itself by the name it suborns by its' policies. Furthermore, I have an idea that, should the swp stand in those northern seats it lost to Labour next time round, they (including Craig Murray, were he to stand in Blackburn again) would stand a far better chance of winning.
      But arguing over the things that would stop a coalition of progressives is counter-productive and would only lead to the possible success of a more far right coalition, were that to take shape.
