Yeah, just the language and attitude from Labour MPs that I've heard interviewed is refreshing. Get to work, get things done, not about us, it's about the public etc.

Harriet Harman on BBC now making good point that of the 412 Labour MPs 264 are women compared to her start in parliament when it was 20. Progress indeed. :-) G

That means Labour women were far, far more likely to win than their male counterparts.

264 women won from 296 female candidates

Like I say, didn't get that vibe at all. And I was looking for signs of it.

As a casual/occasional observer of politics, i've never got that vibe either.

Public service, fairness, one nation, majority female MPs.
It'll never catch on.

What about looking after the few not only instead of, but also at the cost of the many? Whatever happened to moral bankruptcy? This Starmer fellow isn’t long for no 10. What is he? Some kind of socialist?

LK comes from good Glasgow private all-girls school stock. Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and all that. She definitely leans to the right. A female Andrew Neil, but with bigger balls.

Labour not been in power for even a day yet and people already writing them off. Says more about the complainers than it does about Labour.

So Starmer isn’t Corbyn. Get over it. If he had been Labour would still be in opposition. Corbyn would not have won a General election while he’s got a hole in his arse.

If Labour don’t perform then they will get voted out. But give them more than ten hours before you condemn them.

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.
