Christ, Badenoch doesn't do too badly on that. It must pay to be stupid.
These numbers are a bit daft to consider in isolation.
Badenoch is completely useless, and way to far the right of traditional conservative values. But she's also not got a snowball's chance in hell of ever becoming PM so people aren't as bothered by her as they would be if she was actually in charge doing these things.
In much the same way that no one would really care about starmer if he wasn't prime minister. The trouble is he is prime minister.
If you are "Sir" anything you do NOT belong as leader of the labor party.
Sounds pretty damn ignorant.
If you can’t spell the name, you do NOT get an opinion on who is qualified to be leader.
See how easy it is to make arbitrary silliness?
Are you legitimately dumb? Do you think I think his name is "anything"? And I most certainly do get to say that anyone who is knighted has no place leading the labor party.
Oh shit, you dumbfuck, you complain about my American spelling of "labor"? Shove it up your twat you clown.
It's not the American spelling of labour it's the incorrect spelling of the party name.
"How much time ya got, buddy?"
Back in May, Adam Something posted a brilliant video called "Why Centrism Won't Survive 2025" and he made a very convincing case. Toward the end, he lays into Starmer's Labour specifically, though he doesn't predict the rise of the Greens here.
"Centrism"
Captured opposition that wasn't supposed to win
They absolutely were, without them there's no rhetoric of "oh the other right wing party left us without money so we need to raise taxes to pay back debts", they're then also free to do all the unpopular shit to make sure they're not re-elected and there's money again to steal. It's a back and forth team effort.
Calling Labour and/or US Democrats "captured opposition" takes away their complicity and agency.
They are just both right wing parties which do not represent your interests, and they never will.
Politics is a dead end. The only true change we will see in this world will come from revolution.
He’s on the way out!

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.
