It's the socialists who recognise the hardships that people are suffering. I like Andy Burnham, but he may well have been one of the MPs who was ejected from the Party if he had still been an MP. He is currently Mayor of greater Manchester. Will he be standing for Parliament at the next election? He’s biding his time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly do not think someone like Andy Burnham would have drove at the speed recorded if he had seen information about the lower speed in operation. The instinct reaction is to hit the brake pedal. I still find it a little unbelievable - a reduction of the limit to 40mph suggests quite extensive works, and as I have said, even if he missed the roadside indications, the limit is on the overhead gantries in big flashing yellow numbers. But he is one of the 'special people', so maybe he didn't think the rules applied to him? Edited March 27, 2023 by RollingJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour has been most succesful when its been in the centre The more left you take the party the less votes they get Labour and his Corbynistas stole the party from the working classes so the working classes voted Tory Anyway....if you want to be socialist then vote for the SWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which has nothing to do with riots in France. Your post has nothing to do with anything really. As is often the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Labour party was created to fight for the rights and wellbeing of the working class - which includes most working people. The Corbynistas stole nothing, they tried to defend the people from 13 years of Tory Austerity and 40 years of Thatcherism. The world has changed markedly since the days of Blair's Labour. The Tories have swung ever nearer far Right. We can see the results in the chaos and disadvantage all around. It can only be corrected by a swing to the Left to even things up and restore the balance. Corbyn understood this. Starmer does not. He is a Tory in all but name.

BTW - I like your weak attempt at trying to shut down any adverse comments on politicians on 'your' side of the spectrum.
