  1. Phil's research is excellent, but you do have to be aware of his massive tribal blindspot for anyone with a Labour rosette 🙁

  2. I hope Jamie Driscoll wins, and the Labour executive realise how short-sighted they are It's true that we can't beat the Tories without Labour, but I fear we haven't beaten the Tories if we get Starmer. He's just more austerity and more privatisation

  3.  @ricado372  what if the cost for beating these Tories, is giving a different flavour of Tory control? Starmer, Reeves and Streeting are still talking austerity and privatisation. They may not be continuing the culture war, but they are sticking with Tory economics Let's back Jamie Driscoll, and let Tyneside lead the way in showing there is another way forward. If Starmer is smart, he'll follow

  4. Statistically speaking, I must have stood next to an antisemite at some point! Am I an antisemite too?

  6.  @ricado372  this is the beauty of Jamie Driscoll standing for Mayor - if he succeeds, we've sent a clear message to Starmer and the Labour leadership that there are voters out there who are sick of austerity, and we are getting ever more organised and effective If it doesn't work, it's had minimal impact on the national party - Jamie isn't setting up a rival that will split the general election vote If you don't want the Tories to win, but have concerns about Starmer's direction, this is the chance to act! Support Jamie Driscoll, with money if you can afford it, and by spreading the word. There is an alternative to austerity, and if Jamie Driscoll wins in Tyneside, Starmer might finally listen! Even if Starmer doesn't, at least my old school friends get a great Mayor 🙂
