To be sure, but with actual labour supporters looking at that and thinking "it's because Tories didn't actually keep their promises to stop immigration" and "let's opress trans people too" I honestly don't think the resulting government with a few more in opposition would've been worse than something where an actual left party might've succeeded. You know, one that provides a revolutionary vision of hope.

“I do think people need hope, but it needs to be what I call ordinary hope, realistic hope,” Starmer said.

This government is doomed.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
