UK Labour are too Tory for me.
I’ve threatened that they’ve lost my vote. (edit)
On LGBTQIA, specifically trans rights.
On their plans for the NHS.
On their plans for health and wealth inequalities in the UK.
On their plans for the relationship the UK has with Europe.
They have to be less Tory to get my vote back.
It’s not acceptable that to not vote Tory, we have to settle for what they offer. They assume their position is acceptable.
If they correct their position, I’ll reconsider

    Hello exhibit A, thanks for joining us. Would you like to calm down and try again?

    I agree though, Corbyn losing votes was Corbyn’s fault. This then means Kier pushing the left not to vote for him is Kier’s fault.

    Except Labour supporters want it both ways, it was the left’s fault that Corbyn lost the election, and Starmer not winning the left’s vote is also the left’s fault.

    This is called a double bind. I hope that clears things up for you.

      I’m fine. I just find it amusing watching a party that spends it time blaming everyone else.

      Corbyn lost the election because:

      1. He had generally unpopular policies and
      2. The press don’t like Labour so will also make them look incompetent.

      Starmer has the same issue, watching the Labour left crucify him for policies he doesn’t have, and misrepresenting his caution for committing money to projects when the Tories still have time to wreck and pillage everything further as reasons he won’t support the NHS at all is amazingly short sighted.

        I know right? That’s what the double bind does. “It’s the left’s fault Corbyn lost the election, it’s the left’s fault they won’t vote for Starmer”. At least we can all have a bit of chuckle at them.
