Quite surprised the UK doesn't have more rail freight.Originally Posted by GeromeDoutrande
Here is a diagram on how the UK compares to EU countries in intermodal freight transport (from 2016 because that is the last year in which the UK is in these diagrams that I could find, the proportion of road freight volume has increased since then):
nevar forget
Railway policy until relatively recently was little more than why bother when nobody will ride trains in the future.

Also a lot of rail lines that could have been used to send freight to regional depots were closed in the 60s and 70sIm not, our trains are shitQuite surprised the UK doesn't have more rail freight.Here is a diagram on how the UK compares to EU countries in intermodal freight transport (from 2016 because that is the last year in which the UK is in these diagrams that I could find, the proportion of road freight volume has increased since then):
Poland treats me like shit and I hate them as a result of it
If only we'd built the grand contour canal
Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves for slaughter.
Its cute to see you still have kept me close to your heart after a year of me being away.
This must be one of those trans-generational trauma things I have heard about.

The right of the party just needs to accept the membership is more left wing than they are. They don't have to kick left every time they are reminded of the fact.
Funny how the media were so keen to talk about Corbyn's stalinist purges of the party which never happened whereas they keep quiet about Starmer doing everything possible to ensure the left of the party are either removed or locked out.
Remembering a prolific shitter with the reasoning skills of a toddler isnt trauma.Its cute to see you still have kept me close to your heart after a year of me being away.

The left of the party has literally spent every moment since Starmer was elected trying desperately to undermine him, the EHRC and literally any credible attempt to make Labour electableThe right of the party just needs to accept the membership is more left wing than they are.

Meanwhile Starmer's end of the party has gone to pathetic milquetoast focus-grouping paralysis.
The Unions just vetod Labour support for proportional representation.... so that's that. The only reason for voting labour gone. And its the lefts fault, not Starmers/
The left of the party (which is largely just the membership weirdos being vocal on twitter) has done what and with what mechanisms of power within the party? Now contrast that with the PLP and their actions during the Corbyn years with actual mechanisms of power.
The Unions are a third faction of the party, and fuck knows how they see themselves aligned. They aren't really the 'left' since there's a negligible amount of union power outside of the public sector.

Unions arent left wing. Really?
The unions are a relic of the past and are refusing to modernise to embrace the new working reality. They don't represent many of the workers who need them most.
They supported FPTP because their immediate concern is appeasing Starmer and maintaining their power within the Labour party structure.

The undermining only started happening once Starmer started to move away from the pledges he made during the leadership campaign. And even now, it's nowhere near the scale of what the centrists were up to while Corbyn was leader.The left of the party has literally spent every moment since Starmer was elected trying desperately to undermine him, the EHRC and literally any credible attempt to make Labour electableThe right of the party just needs to accept the membership is more left wing than they are.

The unions were the reason why the motion to increase the nomination theshold in leadership elections was passed - a motion specifically designed to block the left.
It started about 30 seconds after he was elected.
Spoiler:
honestly labour is such a fucking mess right now. I'm not convinced much can be done but nuke us from orbit and start again.

All because Ed was shit at eating bacon butties
Labour is a mess because they refuse to even attempt to resolve the tensions that exist between members and PLP.

That's not our fault, it's their fault.
