Andrew James Carter @acarter.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Labour’s approach to their leader is no different to their approach to policy. Superficial change designed solely to preserve the broken status quo. 0163
Andrew James Carter @acarter.bsky.social · 29/06/2026There is no 10-year-plan to improve the country. “10 years” is how long they think Burnham can maintain the broken status quo; how long he can get away with pointless tinkering, falsely presented as change; how long they can do the bare minimum and lie about it. They are, of course, wrong. 020
Andrew James Carter @acarter.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Avoided the AC debate so far, but it seems to boil down to this: EUROPE: It’s too hot! USA: Just get AC, lol EUROPE: We have it, but not everyone has that option (logistics, buildings, landlords, cost, etc…) & the real problem is climate change. USA: Why do you weirdos hate AC?! Your so dumb. 120

Andrew James Carter @acarter.bsky.social · 25/06/2026The Conversion Practices Bill is transparently designed to serve 3 purposes: 1) A set of guidelines for how to legally abuse LGBTQ+ people 2) A mechanism for criminalising gender affirming care 3) A shameless dogwhistle to Labour’s fellow bigots that still lets them claim otherwise to the public 162

Andrew James Carter @acarter.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Labour’s problem will be diminishing returns. Starmerism lasted 24 months. Burnham brand Starmerism might last 18. So they need another 3 vacuous, unprincipled beige men just to reach the next election. They should have loads, but they somehow had to look outside Parliament even to find this one. 120
Andrew James Carter @acarter.bsky.social · 22/06/2026The whole political spectrum pretending Starmer passed earth-shattering reforms on renters/workers rights. He caved to the wealthy and even the watered-down dregs had to be forced over the line by the unions & threat of a backbench rebellion. He had the majority for generational reform. He failed. 020
Andrew James Carter @acarter.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Goading Burnham to move (even further) to the right. It’s a painfully obvious ploy, but Labour take the bait every damn time. (Because many of them are looking for any excuse to do that anyway.) 010

Andrew James Carter @acarter.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Meanwhile, in reality… Reform vote count in Makerfield went *up* vs 2024 when Restore Britain also weren’t splitting their vote. And it’s absurd to call purely tactical voting by Greens/LDs the “consolidation of the progressive vote”. Labour are not progressive, they are right wing authoritarians. 140

Andrew James Carter @acarter.bsky.social · 14/06/2026There are good moral arguments behind this… none of which outweigh the abuses that would follow.
