Just as with Starmer's leadership vote, they are good at getting elected precisely once, and after that they have to deal with the consequences of their voters realising they lied about everything. One term will not be enough to loot everything they want to. They will do their best to game democracy in power just as they are doing now, but the above resistance among the core vote bodes well, imo.

It's not great, but the reason he's the candidate for Blackley and Middleton South is that he's been the MP for Blackley & Brougton since 2010. And for Manchester Blackley since 1997.

I only joined to vote for Corbyn. Was horrified when I had the CLP on the phone asking me to attend stuff and even worse, a bent local councillor turning up on my door step offering to taxi me somewhere to vote for some local politics shite connected to a newbuild housing project or something .. god knows tbh. The idea of meeting ppl on the regular and getting drawn into this shit is genuinely horrifying to me.

after he's flooded the upper chamber of the living dead with enough Labour peers to wipe out the Tory majority, he probably won't be too arsed about abolishing it.
― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Sunday, 2 June 2024 18:24 (one month ago) link
also Mandelson has dismissed abolition and no doubt all the right-wing Labour grandees/scumbags/arseholes would agree and they are going to be still there, whereas Kieth will be lucky to be still leading the party in 18 months

Labour peer and former cabinet minister Lord Mandelson has warned that, without agreement from other parties, Labour's plans risk dragging the party into a "quagmire", soaking up "acres of time and energy" that would be better spent on other priorities.
yeah, like sanctioning disabled people because they are not work capable and using MI5 agents as border force, starting a "investment vehicle" PFI energy carbuncle that will only benefit private sector behemoths. So many priorities.

so much going on. None of the Durham clp were allowed to ask him any questions, some of his gang of goons verbally abused ppl at a children's party that had been booked at the same venue months before. His wife racially abusing Asian people. Needing a police escort to get the fuck out of there. I think this is just day 1 of his campaign!
