Deep breath. Be honest. If this list had been titled "In just 10 months, the Tories..." you would have been spitting at the screen with outrage. How are Labour any different? If you still support them - why? It's a very simple question. - ThreadSky

How are Labour any different?

If you still support them - why? It's a very simple question.

Not from the UK: is there really an alternative, though? I mean, Badenoch is obviously worse...? Genuinely interested!

evamontemaggi.bsky.social•2 days ago

It depends on where. The next elections are in Scotland and Wales where there are alternatives and the electoral system is proportional (sort of!).

And that's why I cut up my membership card this week and mailed it back to [email protected] with a letter explaining why

edwinhayward.com•2 days ago

Thank you for doing that. If enough people did the same, the message might at least start to get through.

I cancelled my membership online - it gave me the opportunity to indicate why I was cancelling - I chose 'policy' as the closest option.

All true.But arguably the Tories would not have.
Increased the minimum wage.
Settled numerous pay disputes.
Started getting more homes built.
Lead a Coalition of the Willing
Plugged a 22m fiscal gap.
Set up GB Energy
Stopped the bonuses seeping from the Water Companies.

So swings and roundabouts.

So in your mind that makes all the bad stuff acceptable?

johnstey.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not at all.Just putting a bit of balance out there!

I voted Labour to get rid of Tories. Didn't know I was actually voting for more Tories. Thoroughly disappointed. Not going to vote tactically next time, even though it will probably be wasted. Just hope there's a signpost not a weather cock next time

I thought they were voted in by the many not the few.

You can never satisfy the left or right wings. But you can listen to the electorate and let them vote you out in 5 years.

Perhaps King Jeremy will win?

Specifying that women have rights is not "endangering trans health and well-being".

sailormoonfan594.bsky.social•2 days ago

Cis women can have rights but do the supercede other people's rights?

neoeonone.bsky.social•2 days ago

The rights of what you call 'Cis women' don't need to supercede other people's rights when 'Trans women' have equal rights with other biological men, rather than riding roughshod over the rights of real women.

sailormoonfan594.bsky.social•2 days ago

https://slate.com/human-interest/2014/12/do-butch-lesbians-have-cisgender-privilege.html But what is a real woman in cisgender circles?

andrewcraig.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, female people's rights to female-only spaces, organisations and sports mean that it's fair to exclude male people from them.

sailormoonfan594.bsky.social•2 days ago

What's a male?

neoeonone.bsky.social•2 days ago

Someone with a Y chromosome.

sailormoonfan594.bsky.social•2 days ago

Cool so where are your chromosomes? The public have a right to see with their naked eye.

andrewcraig.bsky.social•2 days ago

You'd be surprised how simple the answer is: a person with a male body.

sailormoonfan594.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ah well is a man considered a man if he has Gynecomastia?

sailormoonfan594.bsky.social•2 days ago

You'd be surprised how complex that question is.

After a lifetime of voting and donating money to Labour and, for a while, being a member of the Labour Party I finally dumped them at the last election due to their dick pandering and inability to understand that women need single sex spaces, services and sports.

peterpdm.bsky.social•2 days ago

I never did. Lent them a vote to get the Tories out. Never again

womensportfeminism.bsky.social•2 days ago

What do you mean by 'trans health and wellbeing'?
Do you mean transing children?
Who if allowed to go through puberty would resolve their gender confusion?
Primarily same-sex attracted girls?

crosstherubycon.bsky.social•2 days ago

No guts. No vision. No hope. Starmer & Co.

Don’t forget Labour have also issued secret legal orders demanding UK encryption is weakened, making the UK a prime target for hackers.
