Labour Conference
I think this deserves a thread, it's bound to generate some friendly encouraging replies to much of the 'promises' we'll hear
Labour conference: Reeves promises £28bn a year to make economy greener
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58699072
Quote:
"I will invest in good jobs in the green industries of the future, giga-factories to build batteries for electric vehicles, a thriving hydrogen industry, offshore wind with turbines made in Britain, planting trees and building flood defences, keeping homes warm and getting energy bills down, good new jobs in communities throughout Britain."

Sounds too good to be true?

Any thing with green in the title just means massive price increases, and huge tax bills.

Re: Labour Conference
They first have to win elections - so far this years conference has been a embarrassing disgrace for them. My dad was a life long Labour supporter and he said the party is unrecognisable to him.
But so far this years conference has been a showering shit show of:
- Rayner "****" remarks at a fringe event. I discovered earlier, she has blocked me on twitter for commenting on the person who revealed the disgusting remarks from her yesterday, badge of honour to be blocked by her.
- LBC Political Editor thrown out of JVL event yesterday, by Tony Greenstein, who was expelled from the Labour Party for anti-semitism. He was in the event Jewish Voice for Labour: https://twitter.com/theousherwood/st...75566787059712
- Keir Starmer's claim that it is wrong to say only women have a cervix.
- And Mark Ferguson, a member of Labour’s National Executive Committee, who told delegates at the Labour Brighton conference: “I am afraid, and I am not speaking from a position of particular strength here, there are too many white men putting their hands up.” https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/l...r-b957344.html

Re: Labour Conference
They certainly seem to be doing their best to achieve a 4th place finish in the next general election don't they

And even so - I would never vote Labour, it is a toxic element in today's politics. There are still many in the party whipping up Steptoe, despite him losing two elections, the last one, devastatingly so.

Overall I think Labour's leadership will be happy so far. They've managed to get the EHRC's measures adopted despite being opposed by Momentum, they've got their General Secretary who suspended a lot of members to be approved despite Momentum saying they had the numbers to stop him and most importantly they got their rule changes passed to make it harder for candidates with little support amongst MPs to become the leader.
Starmer has managed to see off a lot of challenges from the Corbyn wing of the party this week. In fact, the last remaining pro-Corbyn member of the shadow cabinet has just resigned as well on the same day that a Jewish MP who had left the party under Corbyn has returned: Ex-MP Louise Ellman rejoins Labour after anti-Semitism rule change.
