I think that's probably true.

Also sure as anything that this isn't new - it's failed trickle down economics all over again.

They also didn't vote for a Labour landslide but FPTP gave it to them!

This is actually a real moment of hope. But only if we collectively and continually make the simple arguments that we need to make. We need proper taxation, massive wealth redistribution and to declare war on human driven climate change. Everything else is froth. EVERYTHING.

Neoliberalism is a posh persons bank raid. The country voted to put a stop to this not have the government upgrade from guns to dynamite.

Sadly very focused in areas of affluence too.

I know right. They're selling the shame shit in another packaging, like usual.

I increasingly see that people expected that much from Labour, and only voted for them to get the Tories out.

There is no hope Labour will change much, and yes, this is mostly because Tories left scorched earth behind them.

But there are things they could do for free, like changing FPTP to PR.
