I have waited 40 years to hear a Labour leader give that speech! Fuck Thatcher! Fuck privatisation! Fuck the Tories and the greedy capitalists who have fucked up this country. I hope he can deliver!
Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary is good news for the left.
• Ed Miliband defeated Cameron’s vote for the UK to enter the war against Syria.
• Ed Miliband whipped his MPs to recognise Palestine.

The criteria I’ll judge Andy Burnham by
• Tackling Islamophobia in Labour
• More non-private rental housing
• Cheaper bus fares
• End to energy rip off
• Less shit in our waterways
• Halting NHS sell off
• Halt to marketised education
• End to left purge
• Less private control of public services
• Stronger university finances
• Marked reduction in homelessness
• Legal safe routes for refugees
• Facilitating Referenda in Scotland and Ireland
• A move to more proportional voting
• Less divisive language in politics on botj right and left wing opponents

This proves nothing except that his regional policy was effective in a neutral economy but it’s quite hard to fight systemic nationwide economic poverty post 2020 as a local mayor.
Use your brain mate.

They steal workers wealth and convince people that they've worked hard for the billions they've stolen from the workers.
