 - So, at last Brian you admit Labour is tearing itself apart .
 
 If you were aware of the working within labour  the corbynite like them or not are the ones who will canvass , door knock etc
 
 The middle England don't
 .
 So the very people you want to reach won't be reached .
 
 
 Like labour , you expect  s majority to just switch from  Tory or non voting to labour .
 
 Problem with that thinking is that  people have a number of other parties so some will vote against the  main two parties
 TAKING VOTES FROM LABOUR
 
 Some are fed up of all politicians
 TAKING VOTES FROM LABOUR
 
 
 Up north labour has to win these seats backs in traditional labour areas , some will come back, but some won't .
 TAKING VOTES FROM LABOUR
 
 
 Got to win seats in Scotland which is unlikely
 TAKING VOTES FROM LABOUR
 
 Got to win seats in Wales also unlikely
 TAKING SEATS FROM LABOUR
 
 
 
 So to hold on to this  , the Tories will lose and everyone will only vote labour is a dangerous way to be disappointed , thus why labour will be out so long
 Like all parties labour stopped regular contact with the electorate , and seen now as irrelevant as the other parties.
 
 Just turning up at election time is not enough ,

 - And then the boundary changes which predicted labour to lose 15 more seats 
 
 
 It's all a lost cause Brian

 - Now that Laughing Boy has finally donned his 'big boy pants' (with a little nudging from his fiancee) and shown the odious Cummings the door, I can do no better that copy the reflections of a person of some sense and judgment.
 
 Professor Chris Grey reflects on Dominic Cummings' departure and what it means for Brexit:
 
 "Johnson is Johnson, and bears a heavy responsibility for Brexit. But it shouldn’t be forgotten that he was one of many leading Brexiters who, orchestrated by Dominic Cummings, cajoled voters into leaving the EU without knowing or caring about what happened to Northern Ireland, to the GFA, and certainly to Ireland. For that matter, they didn’t know or care what Brexit meant for everything from creating customs arrangements to disrupting medical supplies to road haulage (£) to musicians’ tours to financial services (£) to data transfer, police and judicial cooperation to the millions of lives left in limbo, and so much else besides. They didn’t know or care at the time of the Referendum and, for the most part, they haven’t bothered to find out since. Worse, throughout all these years they have vilified and belittled those who did know and care.
 "So as Brexit limps on, the unloved orphan of a failing populism, to some kind of resolution of at least what the end of the transition period will mean, we shouldn’t forget the lies shamelessly told, the promises blithely made, and the fears viciously propagated which have brought us to this shambolic point."

Quite. It's why I asked. They share much of the important stuff, like thick hair and tailored suits. But the trivial similarities matter too, like a dodgy past that includes briefing against party leaders, an exemplary attachment to the Peter principle, an ideology of increasing state control over the individual, a loathing of working-class folk, and a tendency to hitch a lift with any colourful passing bandwagon.

btw 'wafer', surely? Or has church cost-cutting reached that far? (Of course, that's all hypothetical since the government nationalised God and banned worship.)

Keep up, BD, there are many routes to political power and influence, and some of that 'bad rubbish' is actually now responsible for advising on government policy.

Take Susan Michie: Professor of Health Psychology at UCL (also director of the Centre for Behaviour Change there),  member of the Covid-19 Behavioural Science Advisory Group,  the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviours (a sub-group of SAGE), and Independent SAGE. Her work involves 'developing methodologies for designing and evaluating theoy-based interventions to change behaviour'.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Michie- 
She's also a member of the Communist Party of Britain, donated £14,000 to the Labour Party in 2017, and campaigned for her comrades to work for a Corbyn-led Labour government. I'm sure I don't know why all this info (and more on her wealthy background and family links to the Labour leadership) was very important when the press was trying to link Corbyn to marxists during an election campaign but is never mentioned now she's all over broadcast and print media telling us what to do.
