What's Under the Line
Added 2024-11-01 20:40:52 +0000 UTCFor this week's bonus, Riley has read as much as he can stomach of the Labour 2024 book 'Taken as Red,' but we also spend some time discussing recent reports that the human cost of Neom is over 20,000 workers dead. Has that stopped British politicians from doing cosy photo-ops with the Saudis and shilling for the line? Well, what do you think?

2024-11-04 14:39:12 +0000 UTCHere in America patriotism is ubiquitous. Our flag and our anthem are everywhere, it's like Europe pre-WW1. So it made me smile to learn the Labour Party never sang the national anthem before. That'd be a scandal over here, people would be losing their fucking minds lol. Do they still sing The Red Flag?

2024-11-02 10:30:01 +0000 UTCWhat genuinely annoys me about the "We need to win power first crowd" (outside of the whole "thinking they're geniuses for inventing the concept of lying to win an election" thing) is that the data showing they're huffing their own farts is pretty clear. Literally just look at the past century of UK elections and you'll find the one data point you need for their oh-so-clever targeting strategy to be provably a mechanism for winning, i.e. a party winning a majority with a minority of the vote, has only happened twice in over 100 years, 1951 and 1974. Their strategy is therefore a strategy for third parties under First Past the Post and for mildly enlarging a majority, not a strategy for winning overall. So literally the only reason it can exist in a major political party is so that not particularly bright people to have a story they can tell themselves and their mates. Meanwhile those of us with a functioning brain can just look and notice that the Tory vote collapsed largely independently of Labour (see Party Gate where Starmer moaned for months to no effect and *had to rely on a fucking Tory rebellion to oust Johnson*).

2024-11-02 00:08:24 +0000 UTCIn this episode Riley angrily reads an account of how some people with what he considers to be an inferior understanding of how politics works took over the Labour party. I am wondering if, given his superior political noos, Riley has any ideas re: how the left can retake Labour - and, if not, whether there was any chance at any point that a client state of the USA would be allowed to have a socialist government
