lol that was a far better opposition than I've seen from Starmer. I have no religious inclination, but he hit the nail on the head, fair play!

I think it's important this Christmas to remember all those who suffer. It can't be easy being a Tory MP, having to give taxpayer money to their mates knowing that they are causing such immense suffering in society to the hungry children, the vulnerable and disabled, the freezing pensioners and the poverty-stricken workers. To have to live with that guilt and shame while forcing themselves to drink huge quantities of champagne every night just to get to sleep. So please spare a thought for Tory MPs and their supporters this Christmas. The choice of which thought is yours!

@stonehengemaca Agreed, and I did. Imagine the difference to the challenges the UK has recently faced Pandemic, lockdowns, Brexit negotiations if Corbyn had won with his Free Broadband, Green Industrial Revolution, Rebuilding Public Services, Tackling Poverty and Inequality ensuring the NHS was funded and that no school child goes hungry. Not to mention the Re-Nationalisation of the energy market and the fact that all that was offered for around £60 billion, a fraction of what the Tories have wasted...

@greenisnotacreativecolour I was anthropomorphizing :) We all know they're not the same breed, some might say they're so in bred they should be classed as sandwiches!

@seanfaherty Agreed, Red or Blue flavoured neoliberalism and the Overton window keeps shifting further to the right.

@Calszonal lol attacked? Starmer has been vocal about the migrant issue but more to gain the Tory leftovers than to challenge Tory policy.
7
@Calszonal No I'm talking about migrant policy in general. "The British economy must be helped away from its "immigration dependency", Sir Keir Starmer has said"

@Calszonal " The days of "cheap labour" must end to wean the UK off its "immigration dependency", Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has told business leaders." Do I need to post more? he's chopped and changed his attitudes on a weekly basis I could post plenty more quotes for you if you like.

@maxsuicide4767 Starmer's speech at the CBI was anti-migration and used tropes about low wages and cheap labour and immigration dependency, forget the Rwanda policy. The speech was so right-wing that the Tory newspaper the Telegraph wrote that its message “echoes that adopted by successive Tory prime ministers, including Boris Johnson and now Rishi Sunak.”

@taefravis Thanks for the asinine comment. I've obviously provided evidence of Keir's right-wing stance on migration, your sidestepping of that fact with irrelevant misinterpretations of my points is about as much use as a rubber beak to a woodpecker. Thank you for your time, have a wonderful day!

@stonehengemaca lol that's a new one, usually, I'm called a cultist for supporting Corbyn. To which I reply I'm off to pray to a 10ft effigy of Corbyn: "Our ideology that art for everyone. Socialism be thy name. Our time will come as capitalism is undone on earth as it is inevitable. Give unto those your daily charity and forgive us our profits. As we forgive neoliberals who use profit against us. And lead us not into greed, but deliver us from monopolies. For thine is dialectical materialism, class struggle against the Tories. For ever and ever, ahem."

@taefravis Regarding Keir Starmer's address at the CBI The Telegraph wrote that its message “echoes that adopted by successive Tory prime ministers, including Boris Johnson and now Rishi Sunak.” What have second-generation migrants in the Tory party got to do with anything? You could go on and on, but I fail to see any relevance to what is being discussed. We all know the Tories are abhorrent, but Keir is parroting their rhetoric. Blaming migrants for low wages, saying the UK shouldn't be dependent on immigration. These are tropes from the right, something Farage would say...

@billlarner7977 Take your ignorance to someone gullible enough to fall for it. Migrants grow the economy and put more in through taxation than they take out in benefits as countless studies have proven. The problem is that the Tories are pointing at migrants while their hand is in your back pocket. Corruption and greed has cost the UK it's economy and morality.
