When Theresa May is ousted, it won’t matter who replaces her – unless it is a Labour PM
[Image from Twitter.]
When Theresa May finally accepts her P45 – for real – it will most likely be for a Conservative to replace her. That means the government will be the same as before.
The same policies of impoverishment for workers and enrichment for the idle elite.
The same policies of genocide against the sick and disabled.
The same arrogance when dealing with the European Union and other foreign countries/organisations.
The same hypocrisy.
The same lies.
The same abuse.
It’s not acceptable.
When Mrs May goes, we – the citizens of the UK – need to make it clear that her government has failed.
That it does not have any legitimacy.
That it never had any.
And that we want a new government, from a better political party – now.
The main problem with the Conservative Party Conference wasn’t that the Prime Minister’s speech ended up like an excruciating scene from Peep Show or The Office. The main problem was the Conservative Party’s mask of decency slipping on a number of occasions and a complete lack of policy, vision and hope.
The ethos and agenda of the Conservative Party is no laughing matter. And that was very clearly revealed in the Foreign Secretary’s statement to an audience in a conference meeting that there’s big profits to be made in Libya if you just “clear the dead bodies away.”
I believe that the Foreign Secretary’s statement wasn’t a “gaffe” as some have called it — it was a window into the worldview of top Tories.
His recitation of a colonial song while in Burma and his callous call to “clear the dead bodies away” in a bomb-blasted Libya that his government helped to make more dangerous, more unsafe and more unstable are true to born-to-rule Bullingdon-boy type.
The truth is, we can’t trust the Conservatives to do the right thing in terms of Britain’s role in the world — and the Prime Minister’s fawning over a president who threatens to “totally destroy” an entire country, her politically motivated refusal to do what even her Conservative predecessors did and commit to the principle of a world free from nuclear weapons and the Foreign Secretary’s reference to the corpses his government’s disastrous intervention helped to create in Libya as barriers to business and profit are further proof of this.
Much has been made of the idea that in response to Corbyn and socialist Labour’s huge advance in the battle of ideas, the Conservative government has “stolen” Labour’s policies.
If only. Rather than adopting Labour’s policies, the Conservative government has — in pure desperation — produced pale imitations of Labour’s policies in an attempt to dupe a public that is more fed up to the back teeth with them with each day that passes.
The task of our movement is not just the removal of a prime minister or even just the removal of a government. The task of our movement is to secure a Labour government which will remove a system that is rigged against working people.

Exactly, Mike. Reading this, I suddenly saw what our country must look like to others, particularly when you add in Gove’s remarks about global warming not getting in the way of economic growth. Britain looks callous, profit-obsessed and completely indifferent to ordinary people’s needs. We have to get rid of this monster of a government. We need to get back to a more thoughtful and humane way of being.
I said as much before. Theresa May is a big problem but not THE problem. If she goes, we’ll just get another Tory. We need rid of this pitiful excuse for a government but unless people wake up to the fact that the Tories don’t care about anybody but themselves and their friends and that £abour is not responsible for the global financial crisis (as some even £abour M.P.s would have us believe), nothing will change and the Tories will return to the seat of government, time and again.
No fear for Tories, they have a new secret weapon. It’s called WAR WITH NORTH KOREA. Nothing like a good old war to garner public support. Labour policies and Brexit out of the window!! Hurrah, we’re saved!
