The UKPolitics subreddit is absolutely intolerable when the Labour Party situation comes up, all these little toads crawl out of the woodwork jerking each other off about how the labour parties problems are all because of 'wokeism'
Isn't that also 70% of the content of this thread?

Is this a helpful comment, croft? Does it foster a feeling of brotherhood and cordiality throughout the thread? Are you adding to the sum total of understanding in the world with it? Oh croft. Are we so different, you and I? Why can't we all just get along?
Also glad to see Starmer finally being a bit bolder with vision. (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/may/16/keir-starmer-vows-all-new-labour-manifesto-and-economic-offer)
I was offering fairly unqualified support to Starmer in order to give him a chance to deliver on his strategy, but if Hartlepool tells us anything it's that that strategy isn't fucking well working, is it, and we need a new approach.
Personally I'd like to see something more explicitly prepared to call out the impact of Brexit - we don't have to go full remain/rejoin but I think it's a dereliction of duty not to mention the way NI and SMEs have been thrown to the wolves. But I don't really care about direction as long as it's credible and likely to win us some elections. This socially right / economically left stuff is just not working.

The UKPolitics subreddit is absolutely intolerable when the Labour Party situation comes up, all these little toads crawl out of the woodwork jerking each other off about how the labour parties problems are all because of 'wokeism', and whenever anyone brings up the survey that only like 6% of voters gave the slightest of fucks about that issue, it gets downvoted into invisibility.
Since the EU elections in 2014 the sub got brigaded hard by 4chan UKIP supporters all claiming to be ex labour but labour went too politically correct for them so they abandoned all their social and economic views and became right wingers. Of course they never fucked off.
