    Labour is so set on shooting itself in the head I have trouble believing Starmer isn’t literally wearing a skinsuit that he’ll rip off to reveal he’s actually the zombie corpse of Thatcher, revived by pure spite on her unholy mission to finish the conversion of Britain to an outright fascist state.

      Labour has been an effectivly useless party since Blair took over. The modern leadership doesn’t realize that their ideas are wildly unpopular and thatcthe only reason they have power is because the Tories literally destroyed the British economy. Labour is dead and will only have themselves to blame when Farage takes over in the next general election.
