Thank you for providing the historical background and connecting the dots. Fascinating.

As a lifetime Labour supporter I knew what was coming and for the first time in my life didn't vote Labour. I hated being right. Now the Tories who are in the toilet, as a political entity are mostly joining Reform because it's pretty damn close to their rightwing "values" and will be hoping to take over. It shouldn't be too hard as Farage enjoys spending all his time in trumps back pocket along with dizzy Lizzy. (It's the money stupid), should be painted on their foreheads! This time I am going to vote Green. I considered Your Party but they've already had so much in-fighting before they've even been elected so I don't want to take a chance of another politician who thinks he's the party. They all seem to forget that the voter is the party. I don't believe in "sitting this one out" as that leads to apathy. We can't afford that in these times. The dangers of AI and multi billionaires calling the shots means we HAVE to remain engaged. The Republicans are going to go the way of the Tories I'll bet. Conservative nowadays just means "we hate everybody that isn't white!" England has for years been multicultural and it's been better for it. They like to cite crime figures when an brown or black person does something wrong without contrasting it to the over whelming numbers of white people that do things wrong. Racism is the the Reform party. A neighbour of mine says "I don't hate them, just the illegals!" Yet a white Swedish girl would never get attacked for over-staying in the country illegally would she? This isn't "trump-land" yet and we never should go down that road.

A real horror show. I left Britain almost 60 years ago, and remember growing up assuming that of course health care was free, and all the other decent actions the Labour party took after WWII. I still see the government as being employed by the people to provide what needs providing. The present Labour government is picking on the poorest and most needy to make their lives even worse. Trying to force people with disabilities that really do prevent them from working, to get a job. Ugh. Then there were the people who got booted out of the party, Corbyn of course, but Ken Loach whose movies have had more to say about working class life than any politicians.

A leader with no rizz and one giant middle finger after another to the party's own supporters. No mystery to why they're so unpopular

Epstein files reveal corruption at my Alma mater Columbia! Bought a bunch of bogus admissions! A bunch of money loving scumbags who gave me a worthless degree!

Well said! Starmer has never been interested in human rights, democracy or freedom. He is nothing more than a “trump wannabe.” Buts seems to be further on the left side of the curve than dt. All appears to me to be a carbon copy of the dt and magat handbook! He has shown his complicity with the zionazis all along! EVEN to adopting the color red!

I don’t think you’ve quite grasped British politics in that case. Starmer is many things, but he is not a Trump wannabe, and the color red has been the color of Labour for 100 years.

The quintessential toady!

There's nothing decent about Starmer or this Labour party

Liar : it's written all Starmer's face. His relationship with a homosexual lord and receiving gifts and backhanders is very evident. It's very evident that he's been compromised and being used by the Zionist Jews and Israel. He is complicit in the genocide of Palestrinans.

He needs to brought to justice for his crimes against humanity together with pédophile Mandeldon who was close friend of Satanic Jew Epstein.

There are thousands of Mandeldon and Epstein embedded in the British politics, like Tony Blair who has become a billionaire on the payroll of the Zionist Jews.

It's about time that all the Zionist Jews and their cronies are weeded out and the British politics are cleansed once for all.

As the Brits go after Epstein apostles we here get to watch much worse people get a pass…for now.

Tell me that the democrats arent doing exactly the same with their 99% performative 'opposition' to ice, which they will no doubt fully fund after a few face-saving changes are made.
