It already showed how Elon Musk bought the election

Had he done what you suggested he would not be in power. As you indeed would have preferred. Political eunuchs abound but get nothing done.

They are not really Labour are they, more like an undercooked boiled egg wet and sloppy

Because with dwindling membership like the Tories they need the donations.

If they've been watching what's transpiring across the "big pond",it would be advisable to limit their leverage on the government

Is it because they are in hock to the billionaires mb?

Because this is a government of Very Small People.

Scared of their own shadows, and this guaranteed to lose the next election.

And thus endangering democracy.

Starmer should step aside for someone with Some Fucking Balls.

Never been so disappointed (if not surprised), by how meek and inept this Labour govt has been. Stepping on every rake, unrecognisable as a left-ish party, scared of its shadow and with zero vision on how to make things better for people. Can't even say the rights things.
