I would argue that those are positive outcomes for more or less everyone, and not small ones either. I think considering this was Starmers take just a couple of weeks ago on the ECHR, they don't seem to be moving in that direction at all.

I hardly think that Labour have been good but that feels like a bit of a short memory statement ngl, they've dragged the NHS off of life support, GB energy, have started the process of bringing the Trains back into public ownership. Huge failures as well but at least positive policy is happening.

I think it'd hurt his ego to go in too hard it'd basically be saying a venture he was a major part of was a failure, but I'm sure he'll have a bit of a moan.

They've certainly pushed their brand of cringe libertarianism, but I don't think it's fair to say that they have pushed the same ideology as Trump.

I wonder if he would've changed his mind if he knew it could get him a staring role in a Sainsbury's Christmas advert 100 years later?

Plaid being the largest party in the senedd might be the wake up call that Labour need. In terms of suggestions their messaging needs to shift I think, they seem to do a lot of chasing headlines in right wing papers rather than hammering home the tangible ways their policies will help normal people.

We get the short end of the stick a lot, there's not argument to be had there. But I think this is much more to do with a sudden change in global stability highlighting the importance of having a steel industry that can be scaled up if needed than it is Scunthorpe favouritism.

No stable system is immune to that kind of hijacking if the elected party really truly want it to happen no matter the consequences. You've gotta have some balance the government needs to be secure enough in its position to actually function. But you can't have too high a barrier to removal.

I'd say we had something pretty close to that situation with Johnson and what happened is they bowed to public pressure in the end, because there is a low enough threshold for kicking out leaders that it can happen. It works better than the American system.

But MPs do kick out PMs in response to things like Lizz Truss crashing the economy with reckless decision making, it's a major difference compared to the President essentially being locked in place for their term. That lower bar for the removal of a leader is important and is somewhat effective.

But the bar is far lower, and they can do so without Impeachment or serious health problems being the reason it makes a massive difference (as we know by the fact PMs do get removed from power)

I agree with most of his vision for the UK domestically, but I am so glad Corbyn wasn't PM for the war in Ukraine. His response to Salisbury, his backing of that stop the war coalition letter at the start of the war.
