I don't think they see it as a win.
Cutting foreign aid and increasing defence spending aren't very lefty things.
I see the left as being pretty unhappy with Starmer, which isn't suprrising as he's pretty centralist IMO.
Those who really aren't happy with Starmer are the 'patriots' on the right who are furious it went pretty well. |

Not my area of expertise but my understanding is that the difference between this case and the ‘swift’ ones is the not guilty plea.
This may well be two tier in that some can afford to mount a defence where others can’t, but sadly that’s not a thing. |

Absolutely!
The Chagos islands thing is a good example. Trump indicated that he’ll go along with the deal which would be affirming for Starmer and infuriating for the Tories, Reform and the right leaning press.
Of course what he says and what he does do not always tally. |

While it’s reasonable to question the length of these sentences I don’t think it can be called two tier.
If there’s evidence of the same crime, in the same contest, committed by people with the same behavioural backgrounds having different sentences because of who the are then that would be two tier. It would also be two tier if sentencing guidelines were ignored. I’ve not seen any of that.
Otherwise it’s just feeling that sentences don’t always fit the crimes |

The devil will be in the detail but looks like a pretty big success.
There’s clearly been some serious preparation time given to it.
There seems to be a helpful space for us between the EU and the US.

And that’s pretty much what the opposing parties have done in Ukraine.
My point was would Farage in the same way been vocal to Churchill and Atlee to set an election date? |

You could definitely make that argument but I wouldn’t say they either of those made common parlance as the one for Reeves.
I’ve leave it there as I’ve said my bit. |

The rise of Reform has seen the Conservatives question for a while now who they are and what are they for, and it seems that it’s Labour’s turn now to do the same.
It might take some time as although there’s a lot of Blue Labour that’s appealing, I think it’s hard for them to find traction when there’s not money to spend. |

Which ones of those are based on sex?
As I said, I’ve no issue with Reeves the incompetent/useless etc., it’s the latent sexism I don’t like.
Edit: I’ve thought of one. The Grocer’s Daughter for Thatcher. Not sexist but snobbery. The same in that it puts an unnecessary barrier up.

As I posted earlier in the thread, it’s basically calling her a trumped up secretary, taking a traditionally women’s job and belittling it.
So far a few have tried to give examples of nicknames for men as comparable, but I’ve yet to see one that is. |

Not outraged, just expressing an opinion.
I said originally I’d probably be a lone voice on here. |

Which ones?
I could well be wrong but I genuinely can’t recall one that’s comparable to Reeves’. |
