Well, yes, but this is a post about the UK.
Good luck in your country
Same to you. The best hope for the UK is it breaking into its constituent parts, frankly.
Valid, but people in the United States sympathize because Starmer's Labour today is basically what we've been dealing with from the Democrats for a fat minute. Used be to jealous of y'all, myself.
Yeah. Do you know who I am talking about in the OP? It's not Labour.
Is it not? Then I apologize, I've spoken out-of-turn.
No. "Your Party" is a new party in the process of being formed.
Yeah, I heard Corbyn was trying to go Morena. …oh, shit, wait, what happened?
He has gone totally silent on trans rights, and several prominent members are transphobes/anti-LGBTQ+. He shared billing/platform with one yesterday at a party event. In short, he has thrown trans people, and the wider LGBTQ+ community, under a bus.
Anyone speaking up and asking him about this are being plagued by cishet white men shouting us down to protect their precious fantasy of progressiveness.
That's… disappointing. Yes, I'll understate the problem and say "disappointing." Jesus. I don't have a good instinct for optimism at all.
Here's the event in question if you're interested. The day before this event, Adnan Hussain was tweeting about how women's spaces shouldn't be encroached upon and how trans people should be segregated into third spaces.
I would also like to apologize because I'm realizing in hindsight that this post didn't sound as sympathetic as I was trying to convey. Starmer's overseeing some uniquely evil shit of his own volition and I hope y'all are doing alright.
