the abject cowardice of this from a government that one assad margins (by american standards anyway) is something to behold

It's obviously not cowardice, at this point - these people are clearly just authentically racist and transphobic and motivated by those personal bigotries

It's all three, there's definitely some cowardice involved. The government even went to court to keep the hotels open (which makes taking this line tactically as well morally shit)

right like even if he's a xenophobe this is shockingly incompetent politics

there is no constituency for "diet hitler who sounds like a mickinsey washout"

WON fuck

second biggest majority in british parliamentary history, except in practice starmer has an even bigger one because he purged his internal opponents from the party before hand lol. he can't get anything done

it's shocking, even if you were always a severe starmer critic like bossman you have five years fucking do something, literally anything, to arrest the decline of your country, and no making xenophobic noises that alienate 90% of your coalition does not count

Yeah but that majority is Fake, since its based on the lowest vote share on the 2nd lowest turnout ever with the most gerrymandered constituency list in decades. He has no legitimacy. No-one does in "the country".

It is baffling how Labour thinks they’re going to beat Refourm and the Touries at their own game

At what point does literally anyone in Labour decide that he sucks enough to try and Liz Truss him.

I’ll say it again, the UK Labour Party is what Leftist critics think the Democratic Party is.

Hey they’re at like 14 months

half convinced that catastrophizing about a reform government is pointless when they're basically being allowed to run the governments agenda without even having more than 5 mps

honestly think a reform government might be more moderate, at this point

nah, no chance of that happening.

To be clear, I don't think Reform's *inclinations* are more moderate - I think Labour chasing Reform is driving things right further and faster than if Reform was actually in government and had to deal with opposition parties
