minus-squareTwig@sopuli.xyzOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 年前Well said. While he’s not perfect, I’d imagine Starmer will be significantly different to the Tories.
minus-squareessell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 年前The fact that he won’t be distracted by right wing extremists in his own party is a good start. Within the labour party he is the right wing extremist. And I don’t think he’s likely to be too damaged by attacks on the left much either, certainly not until after the honeymoon period.
minus-squareSturgiesYrFase@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前Labour seems to be shifting further and further Right, not sure how much better they’ll be than the Tories. But for what it’s worth, I totally agree.
minus-squarefifisaac@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前So when Tories go back on promises it’s lying but when labour do it its reasonable pragmatism?

Did I say all those things?
