"Trigger ballots prove an unwelcome distraction for under-fire Labour MPs" https://www.dumptheguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/04/trigger-ballots-prove-an-unwelcome-distraction-for-under-fire-labour-mps Chief fraudian saboteur/witchfinded Jessica Elgot now brings news that Labour really should be focused on fighting the Tories. Autumn in Westminster is likely to be one of the most exhausting periods of British politics in recent history – late-night votes on Brexit preparations, attempts to thwart no deal, a potential confidence vote in a Boris Johnson administration and an ever-more likely snap general election. But for many Labour MPs, the first thing on their minds is something different – trigger ballots. In interviews with the Guardian, most MPs said their main frustration was being distracted from preparing for a snap election. MPs said they had set up phone banks, organised multiple dinners and tea parties for local members and set up email campaigns solely targeted at their own members – rather than local voters. “It has absolutely sucked the oxygen and life out of the Labour party and now we have a whole summer and autumn of introspection when we should be laying into the Tories,” one MP fumed. No your main frustration is being held to account for joining in with the 21st century McCarthyism of the Israel lobby and the threat of having your lying snout knocked out of the trough. "A whole summer and autumn of introspection"...how terrible compared to the previous three years when you were completely dedicated to taking on this hideous government and not wasting time on some falacious witch hunt to bolster an apartheid regime...oh...never mind. The frustration applies to MPs in both safe and marginal seats, but many also said they felt the party was losing ground attacking the Conservatives because MPs’ headspace was elsewhere. “I have almost 2,000 members who I could take to campaign elsewhere, but we are locked down in the constituency – during the most rightwing government of my lifetime,” one MP said. NOW it's suddenly become a real priority to actually function as an opposition. I wonder why the sudden urgency... Of course none of this is challenged by the Poundshop Lying Laura, Jessica Elgot. Not one mention of the incredibly costly and wasteful, almost completely manufactured anti-semitism campaign on behalf of a foreign government that has hamstrung Labour for the last few years. What a surprise. |
