Labour: The Party Supporting Working People?

[Khandro]

'East Midlands Labour are on the hunt for a new office administrator, promising an “exciting” opportunity to be “a part of a team which will help deliver the next Labour government“, and with a list of important duties befitting of a full-time position. A great job for any would-be politico – so long as they’re happy to work for nothing. The role is entirely unpaid.'

Yes but they were not Labour or the unions would have been back running the country and income tax would have gone right bach to their punitive level.

[Khandro]

The ad says 'exciting” opportunity to be “a part of a team which will help deliver the next Labour government“,

It will be such a long wait, that only teenagers need apply!

[Stableford]

This should be under 'jokes'

[ToraToraTora]

teenagers? I don't think the 4th labour leader to win a GE has been born yet.

[Arrods]

Or even mine at 15.10.

//The person who did the most for "working people" in the history of this nation is TGL.//

Unless they worked in the coalmines.

Labour closed more mines than Mrs Thatcher.

naomi - // Of course Labour doesn’t support working people. It discourages aspiration, enterprise and self-reliance. If a Labour government is your choice keep your cloth cap handy. You ain’t going anywhere! //

I think that is entirely accurate.

The reason why Labour were so utterly humiliated in that last election is because Jeremy Corbyn lives in a world of fantasy where the 'cloth cap' image is still alive and well.

What Labour supporters - as oppsed to Labour vcoters - wanted, was someone who was going to appreciate their change in attitude, which Corbyn willfully refused to acknowledge, far less embrace.

That change can be summed up neatly in just one word - 'aspiration'.

It's an ad to attract a starry eyed person to intern, the carrot being a boost at the bottom of the greasy pole.

Not a particularly attractive pole to want to start to climb, if Keir Starmer is an example of what is waiting for you at the top!!
