  • So, the Tories are in polling meltdown and they've crashed the economy: the election is now Labour's to lose, and here at the annual conference, delegates know it. But is this party still a broad church? Has Keir Starmer abandoned the promises he made to become Labour leader? Has the party finally adopted a bold transformative agenda in this crisis-ridden country? And could Labour really finally be on the brink of power?

    Your Kinnock reminder is very pertinent Owen - voters had no reason to trust a man who would say anything, and ditch any principle, to get power, and may well do the same again - Starmer lied to get elected leader, it's a reasonable inference he'll do the same when trying to become Prime Minister.

    We must have Proportional Representation - It must be the Single Transferable Vote system.
    If it is not included in Labour's manifesto - Then vote Liberal Democrat/Green/Plaid Cymru or SNP.
    There are around 95 seats where the Liberal Democrats are in 2nd place and could remove unpopular Conservative MPs.
    Plaid Cymru could take Ynys Mon in Wales fro the Tories in the next GE.
    Labour could win the GE, but think how better it would be if the main opposition party in parliament is the Liberal Democrats and the Tories relegated to 4th place behind the SNP and Plaid Cymru.
    With Labour - A Social Democrat / Socialist party
    With Liberal democrats & Plaid Cymru - An Egalitarian Capitalist group.
    I say this because every Socialist government in Europe, Cuba, USSR and China operated with Capitalism.
    It is CRONEY MONOPOLY CAPITALISM THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

I would even go so far to say I think it is worse now and more under threat during the Johnson and Truss premierships than it was under May , Cameron , Major and even Thatcher .

      Although I am pleased with the polls currently , there is still a long , hard slog to Gvt . The tories and their friends in the press will resort to smear campaigns and stoking ' culture wars ' as diversionary tactics .

    I think, like you said, the question is whether he'll stick to what he said given his broken pledges from the leadership campaign. I'm really happy with the content of what he said... if he does it. Given how bad the economic situation is, I guess we have to park how authoritarian he seems to be for 5 years.

    You can sense from this video just how refreshed and reinvigorated these MPs are. Not arrogance, but you can feel that there’s just a general renewed confidence and optimism about the party and it’s members now that Corbyn has been battered out of Labour.
    I notice there’s also been a massive reduction in complete weirdos walking around calling each other comrades and waving Palestinian flags about. Fantastic!

      If the Labour party is to be effective it HAS to win the 'centre'. The 'centre' is defined by where the centre of the voting population is. It's where the votes are. But the likes of Owen have argued that there's no point in courting the centre.
