So many on the left and in the media won't be happy until Farage is in power The media spend their time building up Farage and the left spend their time attacking Labour while saying nothing about Farage

This is nonsense and you know it. Us on the left acknowledge that appeasing the far right and telling them how correct their framing is just paves their way to power. Addressing the root causes of the decline that they feed on is a far more effective strategy.

It's such a ridiculous position as nothing but absolute pure ultra left is good enough and they would rather have Farage than Centre Left. Infuriating

Which factional label did I use? Is it left wing to enact austerity a la Osbourne and Cameron? Is it left wing to arm and enable genocide? How about targeting migrants, refugees and other minorities? The ones being factional are those insisting we cheer for Labour regardless of what they do.

the people obsessed with purity are the people who think everyone is constantly trying to test it you need to believe that purity is already proven to make that assumption

On the contrary, the ONLY ones I've seen overtly attacking the racism that feeds Reform are Sultana, Polanski, Corbyn, Lewis, Abbott etc - whereas I've seen almost diddley-squat from Labour MPs, including the PM and Cabinet...

Indeed, they attack the Government who share some (not all) of their views and values, while ignoring the ominous threat from the right that actively hates them and wants to detroy their freedoms. Politics is weird.
