UK Labour should take this as a grave warning and change course immediately.

But of course, they won't. They're leaning right in both economic and social policy. It's awful.
Should have called it Thatcheresque for the local flair.
That would require the Republicans to have knowledge of history outside their own country.
The republicans have knowledge of history inside the US?
I have the feeling they mostly believe in a fairy tale version of US history from what they peddle.
If a US Republican is praising your policy, it's a bad policy. If they call it (🤢🤮) Reganesque, then it's a disastrous one.
Especially for fucking Labour.
And he didn't even have the situational awareness to call it Thatcheresque instead.
Tragic. We came so close to the Labour Party being the party of labour; for the many, not the few.
Corbyn got done dirty by that psychotic media you guys have over there.
And the other half of the party. The leaked Labour report last year showed the Blairite wing of the party engaging in organised sabotage of any left wing candidates in the 2019 election.
Labour would have probably won if it wasn't for the fucking party itself.
That's cemented the fact for me that the Blairites in the party aren't just misguided, they're actively malicious. They communicated very clearly that they will ensure labour can only win if they're in control and will sabotage anyone outside of their clique.
FPTP needs to go so we can kill this abomination that the party has become and the real factions can stand on their own merits or lack thereof.
Corbyn was also incompetent and didn’t keep his faction together, now Foxman is picking off the remnants one by one
So disappointed in Labour right now. I was never a huge fan of Corbyn himself, although I agreed with a lot of his views.
I was also quite hopeful about Starmer as a leader, as I was impressed with his his work in opposing Brexit and the government's attempts to force through changes without proper parliamentary scrutiny. But now...
I've voted Labour all my life, but I feel politically homeless right now. Everything they have done or said in the last year or so has made me less inclined to support them. And that's despite the fact that the Tories absolutely, positively MUST be got rid of asagdmfp.
I live in a reasonably safe Lib Dem seat, so it doesn't really make much difference what I do, but it's frustrating nonetheless. I'd like to be able to go into the polling booth and proudly vote Labour because I believe in them. Not right now though.
At the next GE, look out for Swap My Vote. It’s a good option for those in safe seats. You’d, for example, promise to vote Green/Labour in your safe LD seat, so that a Green/Labour voter in a marginal seat would vote LD to get the Tories out. It’s not perfect (especially now we’ve lost the Labour Party), but it could shake things up enough to be worth the compromise!
Hmmm, will check that out, thanks. Tbh, I would just vote Green anyway, except that in Scotland voting Green means voting in favour of independence, and I'm not.
When the right-wing party moves so far right that the left-wing party now stands where the right wing party once stood, it's time for everyone to do a little soul searchi...
hahaha no! fuck that! profits! profits are all that matters! hahaha. bow to your corporate masters! dance, peasant dance! or die! we don't care! we have all the money! hahahaha!
