You could vote Green, you don't have to vote Reform. Also, let's be honest, Reform has not got the numbers, more likely in the next GE we'd get conservatives again... Doubt very much Starmer will survive four years, the landscape will look very different by then.
Tend to agree. I don't think Reform can survive. Starmer the Stranger might but he'll have to get better at communicating with real people (Badenoch isn't real and is already toast)
Sadly, much the same can be said of Australian Labor Party - the demonising of migrants and refugees. Our nemesis in recent elections was the equiv of the Tories. Fortunately they went all Trump on us and we re-elected the Labor Party.
There is still a difference between Reform, Con, and Lab, so indeed a choice. Reform and Con are honest about being arseholes. Lab supporters want to defend the indefensible and then grab the moral high ground so they can pretend they're nice people in order to soothe their own conscience.
Hard for Labour to keep villainizing the LibDems for Nick Clegg getting fooled by Cameron, when Lab austerity and intolerance is past Cameron/Osborne levels.
Utter nonsense,but then again this bilge comes from those who when it comes to it like to shout a lot but would be soiling themselves at the thought of having power to do anything.
Yeah, by all means, people can disagree with individual policies and hold them to account but trying to claim they're the same as Reform or the Tories is utter bollocks.
Frankly this is ridiculous & explains why the Tories have held power for 70/100 yrs - left leaning people not getting exactly what THEY want to feel good about themselves! Will Reform invest in the NHS, increase the minimum wage & employment rights, move us closer to the EU, stand up to Putin? No!
I’m a left leaning public sector worker who voted Labour & many of my needs are being met by this Govt. Not all but a significant number none of which were met between 2010 & 2024. Investment in NHS, min wage, employee rights, rail & steel, HoL reform, EU reset, economic growth etc #baby&bathwater
Well if you are content with the right-wing direction of the Labour party then go ahead and join the Reform voters and ex-Tories who they are hoping to appeal to join them, but I am not interested one bit in this filthy immigrant-bashing, bigoted, austerity-propounded "Labour" government.
Labour wants to replace the Tories as the "natural centre-right party of government" and to replace its voter base with the people who voted for Boris and Brexit. I am not one of those people. If you are, then so be it.
So it's totally cool to throw the disabled/trans/migrants under the bus and speak the language of conservative/reform alt right? Enoch would be proud of you, my son.
Investment in private health while NHS England are talking about laying off staff. Min wage still not keeping up with real cost of living. Tax breaks for the wealthy. Copying ScotGov on rail, while abandoning the last oil refinery in Scotland. Tinkering round the edges of HoL reform.
Still pushing brexit. Economic growth for who? The hundreds of thousands being plunged into poverty by welfare cuts? And don't mention the continued support for netanyahu's goons and the xenophobic rhetoric starmer's been spouting lately.
Bet you'd vote for a pile of shite if it wore a red rosette.
Ask the disabled community, the trans community, the immigrant community and certain sections of the elderly how they feel about Labour.
You're the definition of "I'm alright Jack"
You make a lot of assumptions about me & who I am & am not. My point was that I am grateful to be living under a Labour Govt which gets more things right then wrong than the Tory Govt of 2010-24 which drove the country, trade & economy, public services & our international reputation into the ground.
You said you're fine under Labour. That wasn't an assumption. That was your own words.
I simply pointed out not everyone feels the same as you. Not my fault you don't have the empathy or understanding to know vulnerable people aren't OK under Labour. That's a you problem 👍👍
Seriously?! The party that in my area is siding with the nimbies to try to block Labour’s much needed (by the young) house building programme? No thanks.
why do you think these people are giving this money to Streeting, 1,because they like him, 2,because they don't think he earns enough, 3, they want something in return, like access to the NHS?
I didn't vote for them, but then, I pledged never to vote for ANY party that refuses to introduce #ProportionalRepresentation
Tactical voting simply perpetuates the Con/Lab duopoly.

If you weren't at least partially sympathatic to promoting a right-wing political agenda, wouldnt be supporting them.
