You’re not the only one

10 years ago before the brexit fiasco and before small boats and the mad policies of Boris to open borders post brexit.

Well put. We should as I do think of it pre-Brexit (attempting to tame and contain the far right) and post-Brexit (appeasing them to the Nth Degree). If the extremes of Brexit were to have been contained and restricted. We wouldn't be where we are.

The Trussification of the Labour Party

The oft promised 5D Chess gambit innit............. 😉

It’s all a veneer TBH This is who Labour are, we should start believing them

Power has corrupted any morals she ever had.

The fbpe need to come get their queen

I guess she is having to deal with the reality of far right parties funded by very rich people, (the AFD for example) getting ever closer and closer to power, plus in the UK, well funded press and media (murdoch et al) who have whipped up consistent hatred against people seeking asylum. Not easy.

Next Prime Minister. Show her some respect!....... 🫣

💷💷💷

The Home Office is not fit for purpose. It has a very nasty corporate culture. Instead of fixing it, Cooper has gone native. Grim.

You must have missed the racist mugs.

Has Ms Cooper anything to say about the vile racist attack and assault by two poisonous Geriatrics on an NHS Worker in a park in Halifax? Anything condemning that? Anything at all? Or are they now fully engaged in a 'Who can be the biggest Facists' comp with the fag ash fuhrer and the Tories? 🤨🤷‍♀️

I think she's changed and not for the better. Power corrupts. Look at Blair now - almost unrecognisable from when he was first PM.

And yet, there's consistency there. Unfortunately not in terms of morals. Chasing the perceived popular opinion rather than holding principles of one's own. Hence the term #labourismorallycorrupt

Personally I’m more disappointed than confused

Comparing 2015 pre-Brexshit Labour politics to now is pretty pointless. In 2025, with Trump in the White House, and the far right making gains all over Europe, sponsored by Putin & Musk, Labour are in a dogfight to keep the far-right out of power in this country. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Starmer and Cooper are cowards. Letting Farage set the agenda. Not what we voted for!

So what are we seeing here then, some kind of zen master "to defeat the far right we must become the far right" BS?

Nope. What we are seeing is Labour trying to leave Farage as few open goals as possible in 2029.

How exactly? By giving him everything he wants? If you try and position yourself as an ersatz populist you will always lose out to the genuine article.

No, of course not, but by giving Farage as few credible/valid controversies to exploit as possible. If he has to rely on making shit up, he's on much weaker ground.

Quite apart from the fact that Farage has never once given a shit whether something is valid/credible, the "controversies" you're talking about here are innocent vulnerable families who will be torn apart just for the sake of political theatre. It's ghoulish to see that and go "Hmm, yes, sensible".

No he's not. Farage runs a post-truth MAGA clone, which only depends on core issue validation which is entirely what this Government seems hell bent on providing. His base is low information & emotion driven, so they only way you undermine that is by destroying it's basic principles

By way of example, Farages last big project was Brexit. EU membership never polled above 8% on issues ranking before the Tories gave it salience. Farage was never officially involved in the Leave campaign and most of his talking points were utter bull. And yet here we are.

On the one hand, Principles. On the other hand, Money & Power. Hmmmmmm. Which shall I choose? Which shall I c h o o s e

The whole Labour Party has lost its moral compass

Labour in a nutshell; mildly centre-left when in opposition, to the right of the Tories when in power.

Looks like she is too

In the first image, you can see she's using this emoji 😐 In the second image, you can see she's using this emoji 😏

ain't integrity grand

The first one was back when they were just a "party of protest" before Kier turned them into the ruthless election-winning machine they are now. Or at least they were. The most obvious 1-term government there's been in a while.

Lubricating Foreign Investors 🤔

Complacency as soon as they get their feet under the table. Any stick when you're in opposition will do. How many lies did they tell to get elected? The right-wing Labour Party is at nobody's service unless you're a rich donor.

I'm confused too, I was told that the reforms were meant to bring Britain more closely aligned to the rules across Europe. You can argue that we should strive to be better but I guess the thinking behind it is to make us less attractive to asylum seekers🤷‍♂️

Westminster sees the lives of human beings as a game. This is as consequential to her as a WWE "heel turn".

Me three.

They're fucking liars.

Does it depend on what colour the refugees are? That seems to be a consideration sometimes.

I remember this confusion the last time Labour were in power. Their Home Secs all seemed to turn fascisty. Makes me wonder how the civil servants who populate the home office are selected.

Perhaps she is suffering from a debilitating condition which means she's lost her memory and suffered a complete personality change?

Because Starmer with his derisory ‘Plan for Change’ is floundering.

Vote Green for real hope and real change. 💚

she tries to get votes from all voters. let's hope she gets none ...

The speed at which they have suddenly adopted the Tory excuses for economic and social failure is utterly terrifying. A government of change my arse. Same. Old. Shyte.

She's on a journey.....

In truth-world: Sign 1: Vote for me! Sign 2: SUCKERS!

I've never trusted her judgement

Their instinct is to drive rightwards Always

And drift into authoritarianism Don’t forget that

Cowardice, nature, and greed for power

With power comes wickedness.

All so hideously performative

Not half as much as she is. Perhaps we should ask her about Brexit? She was very strongly against, I think (like the rest of 'em), but now in favour? Maybe I dreamed that?

So is she

Why? This is who she's always been

Those at the top of Labour are lying vile trash. They destroyed Corbyn when Leader, they made sure they lost the Election to keep Corbyn away from No10, so when in Gov they could enact such hatred & their greed & corruption would get them into Starmers filthy Cabinet of hate.

When you're in opposition, it's easy to be a naysayer; when you're in government all pretence at being bold and innovative is replaced by the politics of Pragmatism(as taught, behind closed doors, by Think Tanks and Media dictates).

as oposition X as in power

Neoliberalism 👍

Prefer the 2015 version.

She is such a disappointment.
