    Seriously - I’ve never known a party to go so out of its way to annoy its own voter base as this current government.

    They’re haemorrhaging votes to the left in the hope of appealing to who? Tony Robinson supporters?

    The most odious thing about this is that they want to weaken the ECHR so that they can abuse immigrants more, in order to appease Reform voters, who will never vote Labour anyway.

    Starmer need to go. The sooner, the better.

      But they rooted out anyone who disagreed. They’ll struggle. Their new deputy criticised them for considering dropping austerity. When the critics are more Tory than the Red Tory leadership, it’s done.

      Green’s are our best chance right now, though next GE, tactical will be the way.

    what’s this bullshit, what’s the EHR got to do with the UK post brexit?

    eDIT : Thank you all for the comments. I get it, the UK still wants to dismantle the european human rights laws because they didn’t brexit hard enough, and can’t seem to stop them applying in the UK even though they were trying very hard to do so even before brexit. I’ve already heard that I’m wrong, stop messaging me.
