Your monthly reminder that Labour lost votes the last election and only won because Reform split the right wing vote. The country is moving solidly to the far right, along with the rest of the world. Calls to implement more radical left wing policies from Labour may mean we get the worst of all options…
Much as I’d like more left-wing policies from Labour (or whoever!), the fact is just over 51% of thr UK population favour far right policies. Do we stick to our guns and lose the next election? Will a more radical left idealogy somehow persuade those voting for reform to vote Labour instead?
Look back to the hatchet job done on Jeremy Corbyn. He had his issues, for sure, but the right wing has spent the last decades fine tuning their political warfare. For Corbyn, it was that he supported Palestine. For Kamela, it was she didn’t support Palestine. I get what you are saying, but this perfect-or-nothing attitude landed the US with Trump. And the rightnwing know the left loves to find an excuse to not vote and leverage that over and over again. If we want to stop the fascists, we need to wake up to the way we are being manipulated.

This Labour government won’t implement leftwing policies. But calls for those are certainly not the cause for this shift to the extreme right.
