I keep asking what evidence there is that Labour will be competent. Look at Wales.
Of course, no one has provided any evidence - because there is none.
Im pretty sure that Gen Z is actually more to the right than many think. For example - It’s not just boomers, young people are voting far right too
Personally, I believe that Starmer is 100% for being in the Customs Union and EU Single Market and believes that it would be the best for the country. He's abandoned that in order to further his own career and become PM and won't be the one to deliver actual change for the better.I agree with 2nd part of that. I sense our Country is becoming more right wing, selfish, bitter and intolerant and social media fuelling it.
A bit of sensible boring politician with a vision is what we need as Tory infighting has been harming the country for 15 years and will take years to settle down until hard right are kicked out. Farage is ultimately desperate to be the Conservative & Unionist Party leader.
Hopefully KS is man to deliver hope to those in poverty/out of work/kids/families and elderly.
May, Boris, Truss, Rishi and Farage have been an utter disaster.
If not, one day Id love to test a coalition of Greens and Lib Dims with good leader in place.
From my albeit limited dealings with them they're liberal but much more inclined to the right that our generation.Zoomers are regen Boomers, I’m convinced of it.

The point is that it doesn't actually deliver any meaningful change and is a Labour government dancing to the tune of a Tory dominated media.He’s made the decision not to stand on any live rails to get elected. No big spending. No overturning Brexit. These aren’t slam dunks these are the kinds of things that lose you an election. The idea deciding to get in and do what you can rather than stand on the side moaning for another five years is some kind of moral failing is ludicrous.

I was on about those who'd be mid 20s now but I can definitely imagine that's the case for those around that age bracket.I don’t meet as many as I used to and I have moved to Bedworth which may be contributing but I’m shocked at how conservative in terms of race gender and the like the ones I know through my 14 yo are.

I presume that's a joke.Also this really doesn’t apply in the UK where the housing crisis and lack of culture war has made everyone under pension age more left wing than ever on average.
A bit ironic calling it a child's take and then making up me saying he's the same as Sunak - hahaha.Because he’s not got all your pet policies he’s the same as Sunak? It’s just nonsense I’m sorry. A child’s take.
I wasn't a fan but no one predicted him cutting May's lead to the extent it was.Does anyone think if Corbyn was still leader of Labour they would have this 20 point + lead in the polls?

How can a sovereign currency issuer face a debt crisis
Isn’t he referring to extinction rebellion there when they superglue themselves to the road?When Greenpeace activists come to see Starmer in 2024….

Or the growth they hadFor the sake of the country, I hope Starmer is as competent as Blair… that’s just a very optimistic take.
New Labour also inherited a low tax burden which this prospective Labour government will not have the luxury to raise taxes to improve public services as Blair and Brown did.

I sincerely hope Starmer delivers the change some seem to think he will do but let’s not pretend he’s getting in for any other reason that the Tories being a disgrace.He still lost in 2017 and by standing in 2019 ensured we had another five years of the Tories. Him "nearly winning" didn't help anyone.

The last few seconds of that clip perfectly encapsulates grifters like Farage and Co.
They just spout stuff that sounds great to boomers, but with absolutely no substance or truth behind it because there simply doesn't need to be, it's obviously never going to be implemented.
A bit like the Tory manifesto I guess - national service etc.
I mean it’s a tongue in cheek comment, but really it’s more that Starmer has changed his opinion on lots of things in the last 4 years. I think there is a piece of video out there saying he supported the actions of activists like Just Stop Oil or Extinction Rebellion before he was leader of the Labour Party.Isn’t he referring to extinction rebellion there when they superglue themselves to the road?
He defended the Greenpiece activists under freedom of speech laws regarding leaflets they were handing out regarding the practices of McDonalds. Not sure it’s the same thing.
Either way the point stands. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone on the right who’d take on a 10 year pro bono case to defend freedom of speech.
May runs the worst campaign in decades and it’s Corbyn cutting her lead, Sunak does the same and it’s the Tories throwing it away and nothing to do with Starmer.
It’s such a ridiculous meme. Starmers approval now is higher than Corbyns ever was, higher than May and around on par with Johnson in 2019. By any measure he’s a relatively popular politician and on course to win a landslide.
The fact this is true while everyone on social media claims the opposite should give you pause for thought.
I was reminded recently that Starmer represented 2 green piece activists pro bono in what was apparently known as the longest libel case in British history (some 10 years) against McDonalds. Quite a famous case known as McLibel.
Sorry but if you think someone who would do that is anything like pretty much any politician on the right I think you’re deluded. Most politicians on the right would have been cheering on the corporation against the woke lefties, while giving them tax breaks funded by the plebs.
Also like the Labour manifesto and the £38 billion black hole.
Rishi, is that you?
I’d think we’d be looking at a hung parliamentI wasn't a fan but no one predicted him cutting May's lead to the extent it was.
Hung parliament territory I thinkLeft wing friends think it would be more
