I'm a member of the Labour Party because I believe in social justice and for the provision of good public services for all. I'm also against the semi feudal system that exists in this country as personified by the likes of Johnson, Cameron, Cummings et al where your background and family wealth determines your life chances, that is not a meritocracy.
The fact that the Labour right, lined up with the Tories and the right wing media to weaponise anti semitism also left a nasty taste in the mouth.
Corbyn and McDonald were weak and ill advised to try to appease those accusing him of anti semitism, for which there was no evidence, witness the recent report into it as commissioned by Jenny Formby Chair of the NEC which Starmer has chosen not to send to the Human Rights Commisiion, and now wants to suppress, I wonder why ?
Well I wasn't exactly jumping from the rooftops with Starmer and his influence on brexit within the party which had a massive effect on the red wall collapsing .

However when he became leader I thought we have to move on and bury the hatchet , we need to come together behind him .

I've just gone 58 years of age , started work in 1978 , 42 years in the workplace , lived in Barnsley all my life and worked for the majority of the time in South Yorkshire .

I've had 14 years of Labour governments in 42 years !!! .

I'm fecked off with losing elections , the latest defeat did me over good and proper , a fecking humiliation , Labour strangleholds turning Tory , boiled my fecking blood .

Things needed to change , I've had to change , I have to change because my step daughter and her partner along with my 6 month old grandson need a Labour government , they are on their ass Wardy .

I have a partner myself of 8 years , she works in social care for Barnsley MBC , need I say anymore , budget cut by 60% because of these toe rags in government .

The Labour Party is a broad church but most times that's a nemesis when it should actually be our strength .

We should appeal to more of the electorate by definition but we don't , because we are always infighting .

When we do actually appeal it's generally from a position of centre with a left lean to it .

I'm not advocating New Labour , we need new and energising policies but New Labour had the road map to trash these feckers 3 times on the trot , they very nearly put the Tories out of business altogether .

We have to put everything behind us and change to where the winning ground is or we risk a one party nation for the foreseeable .

We aren't having this surely ?
