Answer: People like Peter Mandeson who was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein and even spoke to him on the phone in prison!
This man has been a very effective poison in British politics that is still in use today.
The fall of the Left and the fall of Labour are two different things.Today's Labour is "Left" only inasmuch as it is politically to the left of the Conservatives - and then only slightly and often imperceptibly going by what comes out of Starmer's mouth. Indeed, some of Corbyn's manifesto was to the right of 1970's Conservative Party policy (vide taxation, for example). The Overton window has moved so far to the right it's on a different side of the building. At the moment, for me, both main parties are utterly unappealing - though I will still vote for Labour if there's a chance that will get the current lot of self-serving clowns ejected.
You are correct but you are missing something the overturn window is so far to the left on social issues that’s where politics is being won nowadays
Oh sure, racial bias training, unfettered immigration, choosing one's own gender at will, gay clergy, hormone blockers for 8 year olds, the decline of the nuclear family model and a gigantic welfare state makes Trotsky's ideas appear rather Thatcherite.
@@hakim2546 The Old Left ultimately cares more about the economic issues than the social issues. That's why they usually only talk about the economic Overton Window. They are willing to sacrifice the latter in order to secure the former. Plus, they hardly acknowledge ever that many center-left _and_ -right parties have moved towards Industrial Policy and protectionism, which is less 'right wing' than so-called neoliberalism. Anything that is not command and control is 'right wing.'
He seems to want Starmer in power, but Starmer doesn't want to be seen with him. No explanation of why he calls the most popular leader this century a 'near death experience' either.
A very wise man,Mandelson is a real intellectual with great insight about British politcs
This dude was so close to Jeffery Epstein that he had a nickname for him, isn't that right "Petie"?
How is ol Jeff anyways?. The cheek of him to be walking around freely giving out speeches i'd be keeping a low profile or trying to clear my name if i was him
He wasn't accused of any crime dude. He's not a paedophile if that's what you're implying.

"Hah As long as there is loot to take from the rich we will whine and complain so that coercion is used to force the wealthy to give to first enrich bureocrats and then throw us their spare change in the form of mediocre healthcare, education, infrastructure, security and more regulations to stop new clever ones from being rich." - Czar kasm
You're here, but you're losing. You will continue to lose.
That's right, you're here on CZcams 😂 Where you aren't is in any position of influence or relevance.
