@@tr3vk4m there is a lot of policies that will need to be reversed from the current government. Considering they have a limited time to make the most impactful changes before they must have another election, I suspect they are incentivised to focus on reversals which have immediate and visible improvement on people’s lives. They need to be strategic about this. If you want to assure protest laws are reversed, you’re best bet is to incentivise it for them by making this as visible a policy as you can and demonstrate how much backing it has, and therefore why it is worth spending their very previous time on this rather than on other policies. As for intention we will need to await the published manifesto, but we should be careful not to misattribute a lack of mention as evidence for desiring the opposite. I.e. I suspect there will be no mention of rejoining the EU in the manifesto as it is unrealistic that such a policy can be pursued during a single parliamentary term even though there is a majority of support in the party. The manifesto must be careful to not contain things that can then be used as ammunition against them next election. “You promised this and it didn’t happen” type things where the media will ignore accomplishments and focus on what they didn’t to in an effort to get the conservatives back in power.

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

All we have to do in response to that is wait and see. The real issues will come to the fore after the close of poll - either Starmer's approach won't have worked, in which case all bets are off concerning the Labour Party's future direction, or it will, in which case he's going to have to prove a lot of people wrong who think he's a born-again Tory. By the way, I don't think he is - but I do think he's an authoritarian who has surrounded himself with an even more authoritarian bureaucracy, and one or two young special advisers who just should not have any role in running any political party, certainly not one committed to democratic change. The first one to get the boot should be the idiot who leaked to the press that Diane Abbott would not be allowed to stand - leave policy to the politicians, not the keen little wonks who are hoping to re-shape the Labour Party so that in due course they can emerge and be slotted into a safe seat. If I have a message for Starmer himself, it's this: if you are successful in creating an NEC which is unequivocally on your side, good: very few Labour leaders have achieved that. But do ensure that once you have them in place, they know what they're doing, what they're there for, and that a tradition of democracy and accountability in the Labour movment is not something you can just throw away when you find it inconvenient. Get your team in place - but manage it in consistency with the principles - or "values" if you prefer than weasel-word alternative - of the party you lead.

Cameron also tried to purge his party in an attempt to surround himself with toadies like Liz Truss. That worked a treat, said nobody ever.

[@reamoinmcdonachadh9519]

Purges are never good, not in the short term, (nor for that matter in the long term either) and are only a benefit when it's the removal of malfeasance or corruption. To purge a wing of the Party because of possible criticism/opposition by various means fair (and foul) that attempt to shut down dissent just before an Election is a dangerous thing to do.

@@DerekLangdon I'm not trying to kid anybody. Most working people are pretty centrist and have views that can lean left or right depending on the topic of conversation. Its about time Labour dropped the far left.

[@thisismetoday]

2:00 Yupp, he’s turned me off. He’s kicking out the most valuable people they had, i.e. the people that truly care about their constituents. Labour leadership looks like a real bully. Plus they started gaslighting when being interviewed and questioned like we’re used from the Tories, but like I didn’t expect from Labour. I’m widely disgusted. They turned me off from voting for them 100 per cent. Greens it is! 2:08 Right again! He is acting very undemocratically. He’s kicking out people from the party that have been democratically elected and who have been given a mandate. He’s robbing people of their choice.

[@martynsier4388]

Starmer is a Fascist he ticks the boxes.

[@TheFatmer]

Fortunately Labour under Starmer is getting rid of the far left who are responsible for this government (many people voted against Corbyn and not for Borris). Time for change and Labour this time round are by far the best choice. I don’t agree with everything they stand for but you can’t have everything.
