I live in fear of what comes next if Starmer and co fuck this chance up
I would certainly be more willing to hold my nose over the bungs/corruption/gifts/grifts if there was even a sniff of progressive policies to go with it.
But when we get our own brand of Trump in 5 years time because the man on the street says "But what did Starmer really do for me?", I really hope that people recognise how much space is being ceeded by this inaction.
Obviously I'd love to be wrong about all of this, but so far it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...
Edit: oh, wait I forgot we're going to get GB Energy

Half of this stuff is from years ago, it hasn't all happened in the last 12 weeks. No one (the papers) cared because the Tories were in government at the time and it would've done more damage to them than to Labour.

TBH at the moment, the fact that this is bad politics is more my concern than the question of whether this constitutes corruption or not. I live in fear of what comes next if Starmer and co fuck this chance up, and as much as I have almost zero faith in them and think they are mostly objectionable little shits, I would actually much prefer them to succeed. The fact that they appear to have the political smarts of a recently run over squirrel does nothing for my hopes for the future.
