The Labour party under Keir Starmer has strayed so far from its founding principles that it is light years away from anything its founders would recognise. It's now a party of big business and corporate interests.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.
