Solid speech by Starmer. Making a clear play for the many conservative voters who have become disillusioned with the hard right rhetoric the Tories preach. Not everyone on the left will love it, but this is politics – you’ve got to own the centre if you’re going to win. Once you’re in power, then you can implement social-democratic policies.
> “That’s why I say this project goes further and deeper than New Labour’s rewriting of Clause IV… this is about rolling our sleeves up, changing our entire culture – our DNA. This is Clause IV – on steroids.”
Ok but what does that actually entail, because if it’s more Blairite stealth privatisation then no thank you
Read Animal Farm yet has he? Maybe he’s got ideas for a new party colour
Voted in every election i could since the 90s, but I’m pretty much done with it and most definitely won’t vote from now on. Labour won’t do anything fundamentally different from the tories and I detest them for it. We’ve effectively got American style politics now, couldn’t care less if both the tories and Labour destroy the place.
Why do so many people on the left seem determined that they’d prefer a Tory government?
Alright he is legitimately trying to throw this election. I call corruption. I call bullshit.
This time we won’t walk but *run* further away from our founding principles as a socialist workers party.
Won’t be long until we start arriving at France by rubber boats.
Starmer will be the next pm (unless sunak doesn’t make it to the election). The manifesto that’s taking shape is winning folk over. You can tell this by how the two sides of the same coin (erg tories and long corbyn sufferers) are fighting long lost battles and smearing the party.
The uk is ready for change and the sooner the better
