@Matt5cott You’re pretending that the argument is solely about income tax rather than tax in general. You’d rather sustain this fantasy than acknowledge what Gary is actually saying in the video you yourself have posted.

@muicivocrev @AaronBastani Those predictions have come true? All the data and now just the experience of going outside shows it

@SamCKx Been here before with Trump. Don’t mean to downplay the significance of this but saying things like ‘he’s done for’ is naive and unhelpful. Can’t keep thinking the rules are going to save us

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@lesthecroc Bad faith - this was immediately after the leadership election and he was arguing for critical support which at that time was fair enough. Doesn’t mean he ‘fell’ for Starmer, he supported RLB

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@lewis_goodall Yeah nice one he’s spent decades getting to this point so he’s just gonna give up once he finally has a chance at PM. Think wishful thinking prejudicing your analysis here. He probably plans on aping Trump by just carrying on regardless

@soldierpaypig I mean, this was a frustrating interview at the time but ultimately he was right that Corbyn’s Labour weren’t connecting with post-industrial towns

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@ChrisCorney1 He didn’t ’stick the knife’ in Corbyn? Wasn’t involved in the chicken coup, Corbyn even said it himself the other day

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@pete_sinclair What does ‘firm’ mean? He’s talking about not doing it in this parliament but Labour will likely lose majority in next election. Why would the Greens stand down without even trying to extract something from him first?

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@jemgilbert Bigger gamble is whether the NEC are actually going to approve this. You have to think surely they will but you can’t rule out stupidity either

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@mattzarb @DPJHodges @adamboultonTABB Miliband Rayner aren’t likely to stand against Burnham though

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@OisinMul_ None whatsoever! But why do socialists need to be falling in line behind some sort of mecha-socialist in the first place? Can’t they exist independent of the leader/party they are working with at that time?

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@adubwoods @MarxPhilosophy Good read

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@Manics lol play Dear Stephen then

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@AndyBurnhamGM @david_conn Bro what about @orgreavejustice ?

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@UKDispatchBox @rivkahbrown You’re describing the situation that already exists

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@RealEmirHan His worst performance

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@maxshanly Speaking as someone dithering about joining the Greens and agrees with everything you’ve said - wouldn’t this argument feel more constructive if it was made from within the party itself? I don’t see how a lot of this doesn’t also apply to YP

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@chakrabortty @b0bm1ll1 Hold up, isn’t that also a limitation for Reform?

[ex-tweeter @TheRealEdTaylor]

@peligrietzer I really do like 1984. ‘Totalitarianism may be oppressive, but it helps a lot of people feel contented loving their leader, so it’s impossible to say if it’s bad or not’ is an amazing thesis for a novel to have
