Even if likely successor Andy Burnham wants change, he'll face formidable external controls from the financial markets and internal constraints from the Labour machine
Your comment only strengthens my belief that all Politicians are crooks. They are in it for the money. Capitalism has been imported from the USA, and it will destroy us .
Can someone send this to the rest is politics? They really don’t seem to understand the Problem in the UK and their own parties. Pretty good on foreign stuff, but my god the domestic…
Thank you for this excellent excoriation of what the Labour Party in the UK has become . While reading it , so many similarities with the spineless version of the Labor Party in Australia leapt out at me . “The market” and foreign donors are the priority here .
The Australian public , whom they were elected to serve , are way down their list of priorities, receiving merely “crumbs from the table” . But for some inane reason they still cling to the scandalous AUKUS “ deal” set up by a former LNP PM Morrison , and apparently see no problem with giving away many billions of dollars for submarines that may never eventuate . There are words for this betrayal of Australia , its people , and its future . In both our nations , “the People “ are spectacularly ill served by Government.
Democracy has become a mirage , and too many people remain asleep to this terminal illness .
Spot on, Jonathan. Thank you for laying out exactly what deceits were used to cheat Corbyn of a potential victory in 2017 and how Starmer then became an aggressive supporter of Israel and Trump, while indulging in more austerity at home. He is the most unpopular Prime Minister we've ever had, and deservedly so.
Excellent summary, thank you. Gaza has become the ultimate litmus test on who is who in politics. Polansky bringing an all too rare level of inegrity. Once the labour honeymoon is over, which wont take long by your analysis, hopefully people will wake up and vote green.
Starmer had the audacity to claim he saved the Labour Party from immorality! This from an odious man who supports Israeli genocide, who promoted Mandelson, who took personal gifts for himself and his wife without declaring them, who has attacked free speech and persecuted anyone who protests against war crimes! He either has a mental health condition in which case was never fit for high office or is truly evil, yet the media keeps describing him as a "decent man"! There really are no words.
Of course the UK's establishment will do exactly the same to Burnham as they've done to their puppet Starmer. They didn't reckon that the British people would see through Starmer's veneer of decency so have decided to replace him with a more likeable, relatable character who will STILL do their bidding. They only need to keep him in power for a couple of years which is what they no doubt calculate will be long enough to keep up the pressure on Russia! Like Starmer, Burnham is a fan of Israel and will continue supporting them with the backing of the complicit biased media including the BBC.
I'm beginning to lose hope. Britain needs a revolution.
yes its crazy James Obrian cannot or wont face facts re Starmer and Labour together. Why ??? the man of truth seems to be unable to see what happened to Labour party and why Starmer was elected leader of LP. He, was totally unsuited to job, but he was complient and quite happy to carry out orders and ok taking back handers not declaring them getting rid of decent MPs members. He lied and lied again yet , Obrain the man of truth kept supporting him regardless. If he had some proper journalists like Paul Holden and discussed his book Fraud or Peter Orboune and his book Complicit on his program on LBC, it would have helped and prove that he is man of truth. He clearly is not.
Sturmer hasn't failed, he's kept the conveyor belt of subsidies and privilege to rich bastards running without a hitch, just like all Liarbour leaders. He has stayed loyal to American Caesar and his zionazi vassals, made hostile squeaks at the Russians, allowed the Septics to bomb Iran from British bases and parroted the usual bleats about China. Trebles all round!
A long-time Labour Friend of Israel.
The only reason Starmer is leaving is because he is leaving the country in the safe hands of another Zionist who'll have no issue with genocide.
Just goes from bad to worse..we are in the grip of zionism and the future is bleak for anyone with a sense of morality and justice.

How long is Burnham going to last? Just long enough to come up with another abysmal loser?

Well said Elizabeth 👍

He’s a Labour friend of “Israel”
Says it all …..🤷♀️
Business-first all the way. Deep in the human psyche.
It's what keeps iran from wiping out tel aviv, and so on.

Yep!

The UK Establishment knows full well that the Burnham honeymoon will be over.
They don't care, as long as Burnham can use the time he has.
If the oligarchy ever falls, it will not be soon enough. Thanks again for your journalistic integrity and moral courage

This is what a casino capitalist cheer leader looks like.....you've nailed it.
And its a danse macabre.....taking us all to poverty, climate disaster and world war 3.
We look to have been fooled again. I bloody well hope not
Labour was struggling for breath under Blair and Brown. Under Starmer it expired. Resuscitation under Burnham is impossible.
