@InvertTheWing@lagos2145 Maybe cos there hasn’t been another case of it? Mistaken identity isn’t exactly an everyday occurrence. Your agenda is so shameless lmao
@SaveTheNHS4U@EddyJBlue@ZoeJardiniere Fair point and whilst I respect him more than anyone else in the party, I’m sceptical of the idyllic aura that surrounds him. Nevertheless he has achieved a great deal in GM & I think he’d be open to work with Greens and LD, which is utterly paramount to stopping Reform.
@Kellieturnbury@ZoeJardiniere And whilst he has achieved many great things in GM, has always been frank about limitations and what he cannot do, always having to work with govt to get more
@Kellieturnbury@ZoeJardiniere Why would he have been restricted to the back benches if he got into parliament? He’s comfortably the most popular Labour politician in the country - Starmer would have either brought him into Cabinet or otherwise orchestrated his own assassination.
@Kellieturnbury@ZoeJardiniere Any constituency within GM/Merseyside would see the widespread recognition & respect for him almost certainly ensure the constituency LP support his nomination, and he’d have a very good chance of winning any contest - at the very least far outperforming any other Lab candidate
@ExResurgam@ZoeJardiniere You really have no awareness of politics outside of Westminster if you think this. He’s super well respected by many across GM region & broader NW, including among non-Lab voters. Polling, vox pops, tons of evidence to show
@SaveTheNHS4U@EddyJBlue@ZoeJardiniere He was very clear about it in his interview with the NS last autumn & frequently brings it up, not much more he can do as a mayor. + he would likely recognise that at this point Labour needs PR to ensure its survival in parliament - Labour Together types too blinded to see this
@EdwardR68647707@ajsrugby Ignoring other aspects of their play(fluid, attacking rugby that they now play). That's besides the constant state of surprise at Pumas achieving results as if they are somehow still a tier 2 nation, not to mention the horrendous pronunciation of straightforward names
@EdwardR68647707@ajsrugby Difficult to recognise from the other side but English pundits have for many years never bothered to provide a proper analysis of the Pumas and have relied on old tropes such as a strong scrum(which hasn't been a feature of Pumas play for a long time) as a means of .. tbc
@RucksSake Not so much the tackle itself but rather the failure on Curry's part to acknowledge a potentially serious injury that he has (unintentionally) caused and his subsequent contempt when confronted about it
@AaronBastani I think he’s capable of at least recapturing disillusioned Labour voters who won’t vote Reform but aren’t drawn to Greens/Corbyn either - this is about 10% of their 2024 vote(undecided). This alone possibly enough to hold onto many metropolitan seats, but so much can change by 29
