Nah, it's a simplistic and unhelpful analysis. Far right parties don't generally invest massively in the NHS, protect workers' rights, etc. None of which excuses the bad stuff Labour are doing (or the good stuff they're abysmally failing to do).

just say white power, seeing as you are so happy with fascism being enacted in your name.

I left there because it was full of people like you, making excuses for government sponsored genocide and transphobia.

Labour is smoothing the way for selling off the NHS and is engaging more and more private contractors. New Labour were the first to try to sell off Royal Mail.

But say Labour is just slightly less bad, then it becomes good cop which does less harm but doesn't reverse harmful change and is replaced by bad cop which adds harmful change on top of the last bad cop government and so on. Then Labour is part of moving the UK towards authoritarian neoliberalism.

Slightly less bad than what? Labour in government has (so far) been deeply disappointing in many ways, not least on trans rights, Gaza, the right to protest, and in failing to call out far-right lies. Even so, it's on ANOTHER PLANET compared with Farage, and it's disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

What has needed to happen to get us where we are. Starmer had a massive majority and 5 years to get us on another path. He could have made the case for progressive values and helped those who are in danger of voting Reform out of desperation. screedvault.neocities.org/post/full_sp...

Thanks for sharing this. I'll have a look at it.

Instead Starmer's Labour Party is maintaining the country on a course to get to the same destination that Reform would take us. After 5 years of Starmer, Farage won't have anywhere near so much left to do. Is it any better if my healthcare is blocked by someone with Labour branding?

I'm not defending everything Labour has done. I was a member & activist until I resigned over "Island of strangers" & trans rights. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to be trans rn. But I disagree profoundly about using the "far right" label for Labour.

If we're unfortunate enough to get a Reform govt in 28/29 I think it will be a horror show the like of which we haven't seen in living memory. Trump is giving us a taste of what it might be like.

Starmer is enacting the same programme as Trump is.

Tariffs? Troops on the streets? Slashing science and health research funding? Creating an unaccountable paramilitary police? Attacking higher education? I can't take this comparison seriously, I'm afraid.

The BBC is still run by Tories after over a year of Starmer. The EHRC, our HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTION is still run by the same anti trans activists as it was under the Tories - they had their contracts extended and another one will soon be the chair in defiance of the JHRC. bsky.app/profile/good...

Yes, I agree entirely about the BBC and the EHRC.

They aren't investing massively in the NHS (a lot of that money is going straight into private pockets), and the far right absolutely does go after LGBTQ human rights, the right to protest, foreign aid, and scapegoating migrants. They are the far right.

While they are quietly handing over everyone's data to a global surveillance organisation called Palantir, for some unspecified service to the NHS and run in the UK by Oswald Mosley's grandson. Labour In Name Only.
