@NoJusticeMTG Yes, we should bring back Tony Blair. Glad we’re all in agreement

@Jonathan_K_Cook This isn't really a good argument? Obviously the leader of a major party is going to be subject to more scrutiny than a random backbencher

Corbyn was an MP for 32 years until he was elected Labour leader in 2015.

I sincerely hope Blairite Andy Burnham shows up
megan kenyon@meganekenyon
A Green Source responds to this from Caroline Lucas: "The problem is that we just don't know which Andy Burnham is going to turn up. Will it be the Blairite politician who went along with years of privatisation and welfare cuts, or the one who has publicly supported proportional representation and expressed support to make changes to the failed economic model? We just don't know."
English
@_AashishReddy Oh I see, sorry. Perhaps he isn’t hedging on Burnham being as ignorant of the bond markets as Truss (and therefore not lasting only 49 days)?
English
@profavi_ This is essentially the Sunak model though, who also never won with the membership
English
@_AashishReddy Because he knows he wouldn’t stand in a chance in a leadership election put to the Labour membership, and Chancellors of the Exchequer are quite powerful
English
@profavi_ Why would he want to be Chancellor? Presumably the plan is for Burnham to do a Truss and then come in afterwards having warned about the need to be cautious and all

@fpl_tactician @cliffy_dude Is this including anyone in an overseas territory e.g. chagos that would count as uk

What historical fact sounds fake but is true?

@MonoMichaeI @FarndonLuc33201 @TomDutty Yes it is. Look in the background of the pic of Joel Ward facebook.com/officialcpfc/p…

Missed an ‘N’ there, lads.

@algorecrave Also why are they acting like the King isn’t progressive on stuff like that
English
does no one in this country understand how the government works why do people think that king charles made this decision himself and has the personal power to implement it…we are cooked

@rogerssznnn @callumseuk @redtory_ Look, I'll end it here because I'm sleepy - your heart's clearly in the right place and you want what's best for the world, but you're misguided about what actually drives a lot of what you're talking about, and if you picked up a bit of economics you'd understand it more
English
@profavi_ @callumseuk @redtory_ I’m not arguing that it hasn’t been beneficial AT ALL by the way, capitalism is responsible for many modern inventions and improved QOL in many ways, however I believe more could have been achieved through socialism which didn’t leave some still in extreme poverty
English
not particularly a labour supporter but i see a much clearer and stronger vision for our country under the leadership of andy burnham.
English
@rogerssznnn @callumseuk @redtory_ Well... yes? That's better than before, when they were under it, isn't it?
And wait until you find out why China lifted so many people out of poverty in the 1980s hahahahaha en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_an…
Please, I'm begging you, read more
English
@profavi_ @callumseuk @redtory_ By the way, what they class as ‘extreme poverty’ is $2.15 per day, anyone earning a penny over that isn’t accounted for. A large share that were ‘lifted out of poverty’ since the 1980s by ‘capitalism’ as you say are from china… need I say more
English
@rogerssznnn @callumseuk @redtory_ You're choosing to ignore facts for some reason. Thanks to capitalism, we have far, far less poverty!
English
@profavi_ @callumseuk @redtory_ Unfortunately, the facts are that the working class is there to be exploited and will continue to be exploited more and more until something changes. People shouldn’t have to live without the bare essentials and as long as we have capitalism we have poverty.
English
@rogerssznnn @callumseuk @redtory_ I think that you have a really flawed understanding of capitalism that basically amounts to "evil thing that forces people into poverty and makes lazy people rich", and I'm not going to be able to convince you insofar as you have that understanding of it. investopedia.com/terms/s/scarci…
English
@profavi_ @callumseuk @redtory_ Honestly I think you’re smarter than this makes you seem, I think you’re being disingenuous. You know it’s not as simple as ‘everything you want for nothing’ and on the topic of finite resources, capitalism encourages harmful extraction of scarce resources for profit
English
Indonesia
@rogerssznnn @callumseuk @redtory_ ..works, and certainly not how any of those ideals are administered in practice in any state that is supposedly socialist. This is, I'm afraid, common sense. Yes, capitalism is imperfect, so we have regulation to legislate away market failures. It's still the best economic system
