This is actually a Tory policy, where the law was passed by the previous Tory government and came into force under labour.

That's not a get out of jail card, because they could have stopped it, and instead choose to continue it, just like they continued the NHS anti trans policies. Or the way they choose to continue the same austerity budget rules.

At this point, I'd say they're exactly as right wing as the Tories.

So it just seems like they're further right because every successive Tory government is further right than the previous one and Labouare just Tories?

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
