Populism

I’ll be posting soon about the Unite Trade Union requesting the Supreme Court to sue the Labour government on their decision to remove the winter fuel payment from pensioners. When I do you can pull both of emotional triggers simultaneously and defend both your beloved Trade Unions and your beloved Labour Party.

It will be fun to watch 😉

I hope unite win but neither of them are my beloved, it’s enough for me that they are not spoilt scumbag public schoolboys running the country for their corporate daddies or ultra right scumbags like farage who spends more time inspecting trumps lower colon than he does in the uk he purports to love so much.
You know your the fawning zealot here dive you right wing nuts are always more emotionally driven than us lefties

So there is no such thing as left wing political party in the uk, they are all right wing including the labour party?

Well, it would depend where you are on the political spectrum, wouldn’t it?

To the maga American, the British tory party is probably already a socialist nightmare.

To me, a communist, labour most certainly is a capitalist party. So right wing.
I, for example, wouldn’t stop pensioner’s heating allowence.
Indeed, I’d nationalise energy and give to everybody free. Obviously everyone pays in taxes, but free at the point of delivery. Like the NHS is supposed to.

Better get used to Farage being in the limelight my comrade, he’s already ahead of Starmer in the approval polls.

Starmer on the other hand has made himself less popular than Liz Truss in 150 days. That’s quite an achievement.

I’d nationalise all the utilities, that doesn’t make me a communist. That’s just good sense.

The problem this Labour group has is not how far left they are, it’s that they are all morons.

Ha yeah but a million miles from power in the UK he’d be better served spending ALL his time in trumps America and running for congress there
Reform will never find high enough concentrations of racist halfwits in enough places to form a government.
Five years is a long time son, certainly long enough for labour to redeem itself and pick up more disaffected conservatives who don’t fancy staying in farage’s Tory / National Front party

Ahh the hackneyed “racist” and thicko tropes are wheeled out once again; always a sign of lack of ideas.

Listen Dad, Labour are ONLY in power because of the Tories debacle. Starmer got less votes than the lunatic terrorist apologist Corbyn got. Even Labour voters are turning against him and it won’t be long before there’s more sleaze, scandal and resignations. You lot won’t make mid term let alone full term.

Let’s see what exciting “resets” are in store on Thursday shall we… the economic growth pledge has already been binned thanks to Rachel From Accounts ludicrous anti-growth budget.

It’s hilarious, the last two weeks has been day after day of Labour shat-show 😆

They are not far left.
They’re pro-capitalism. Pro-war. Pro-selling arms, etc.

I didn’t say they are far left, I meant no matter how far (to the left) they are or aren’t.

I would also dispute your assertion that they are pro capitalism on the basis of the budget which is designed to shrink the economy (which it already is), increase unemployment (which it already is) and destroy manufacturing (which it already is).
