The more Labour stampede right, the emptier the vacuum for the LibDems to go "Let's just ****ing rejoin the EU already!" and snaffle up votes. But it would need to be a loud, proud and sustained message. Not a policy line item on their website, but front and centre in all comms. 2025 is NOT 2019.

History will remember Sally Rooney as a beloved novelist who courageously spoke out against an abominable crime. History will remember Keir Starmer as a despised politician: devoid of principles, less charisma than an abandoned fridge, and a facilitator of genocide.

You haven't been paying attention if you still don't understand that The Starmer Project's primary objective is to keep the left out of power. The elections are still four years off, but when they arrive, Labour will poll around 10%. They don't care which RW party wins, as long as it is a RW party.
