[Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

[Chicken Run]

I love numbers, yes bit sad I know. Consequently I get really annoyed by meaningless use of statistics like those contained in the linked Twitter post.

So Reform has an 11% increase in its vote, but from what, to what? 100 to 111?

As far as I can find out, Reform have won 7 local council seats since the GE, while the Conservatives have gained 24 seats, which doesn’t correlate with the percentage of vote gain.

It‘s all stuff and nonsense, being driven by largely right wing media and social media accounts, who have suddenly realised that 5 years is a long time to keep digging up ”scandals” that nobody cares about…

I love Brighton & Hove Albion Football scores, yes a bit sad I know. Consequently I get really annoyed if the scores aren’t in favour of Brighton.

Not quite the same really is it…?

Percentage increases mean nothing, if no context is given, as is the case with the Reform percentage increase.

In a real world example, while working for The Met as an Intelligence Analyst, my Borough Commander was keen for me to put a “massive“ 50% reduction in burglaries, in New Addington ward, in our local tasking document. What he wasn’t so keen on was to publish the raw data, where burglaries went down from 4 to 2 in the 2 week period - a nice reduction he could claim credit for, but totally meaningless as just a simple snapshot in time.

Not really a political media issue. I can think of at least 2 reasons why.

Labour won big on a split RW vote, there is no mandate and little love.

Due to the last decade being poisoned with the culture war people are sick of it especially "woke", Labour have been in the wilderness this time and get elected so rub their hands thinking "Time for some woke"..... KABOOM!

This iteration of the left which grew out of the US civil rights movement is effectively dead in the water, they just don't know it yet.

What have Labour done since coming to power that you consider is "woke".

Interested to hear your definition of it via actual examples.

Not answering a question is a non-action. So if that's the 'top answer' it highlights nothing.

I'm after actual examples of things that have actually happened. What I was asking is what actual policies introduced or actions done that are "woke"? What has Labour introduced / plan to introduce that is "woke".

Nothing from @Crawley Dingo yet?

I hope the Prime Minister enjoyed sitting in the second tier tonight.

I hope the Prime Minister enjoyed sitting in the second tier tonight.

I’m assuming he got a standing ovation?

Presumably he was in both of his tiers?

There he goes with his police escort which held up departure of vehicles from the coach park for a while.

Did you find any to analyse?

Did you find any to analyse?

As I was based in Croydon, would it surprise you if I said yes!

Wanker delayed us for a good 15 minutes, could have stayed behind until fans had gone but no que jumping again.

Yes, we were held for an additional 15 minutes.

Prioritising non white business for Government contracts.
Refusing a public enquiry into the Rotherham rape gangs.
Giving away a strategically important island to an ally of China.

Not dismantling DEI programs.

Prioritising non white business for Government contracts.

Which ones - evidence please.

Refusing a public enquiry into the Rotherham rape gangs.

You mean the public inquiry that the (presumably equally woke) Tories also refused to hold? You will have read the reasoning (that there has already been an inquiry, and the recommendations have yet to implemented) - so on what basis would you say the decision is 'woke' based?

Giving away a strategically important island to an ally of China.

Why is this 'woke'? You might disagree with it - but why is it 'woke'?

Not dismantling DEI programs.

You mean that re-introducing discrimination and unfair treatment of minorities is something that should actively be sought to avoid being labelled 'woke'.

Are you misguidedly conflating 'woke' with 'fair'?
