Speaking as an American, these lists read like half-baked propaganda.

Respectfully Frankie I’m not convinced making an announcement is an achievement. The one thing I have seen them do though is emulate the Tory culture wars

1/2 That is exactly he point. They are constantly saying what they are going to do while not doing anything really. Starmer the charmer lost my membership of 50 years. Both my sons all their friends and most of my friends tore up their cards.

2/2 This was the best opportunity in my lifetime for a real socialist government. And we get Tory lite. What a wasted chance.

There's no money to institute the much needed reforms. Or no will to properly redistribute tax. Then we're just left with culture wars, which were all sick of.

keithhancock.bsky.social•59 days ago

You think? Watch what happens if a war breaks out, they'll find billions instantly. Britain like all other Western modernised countries, is awash with money. It's just in the wrong hands. If they can afford to give the Monarchy billions, and allow billionaires to go untaxed they have to money.

When I started to go off the tories (during uni) I started to look at labour and thought actually this seems much nicer than what the tories offer more compassionate, more community minded. Then I saw labour/keir attacking migrants, the disabled, lgbt people. I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t

Vote for labour because they promised much the same but claimed they’d be more efficient at it. I voted green at the locals and lib dem at general election.

aminaerin.bsky.social•60 days ago

And Wes is an absolute danger

sloanefragment.bsky.social•60 days ago

the tories imo are actually better than labour at this point.

that’s how shit labour are.

wiggler.bsky.social•60 days ago

A list of "annoucements" aren't achievements, Labour is a rancid party

shanephotos.bsky.social•60 days ago

Probably because those claims are misleading. Some counter arguments in my thread here.

Not to mention how their cheerleaders area overlooking the rampant transphobia and racism, Starmer threatening his own MPs to stop them thinking for themselves, their retention of the 2 child policy, failure to correct IPP Injustice, ETC.

aminaerin.bsky.social•59 days ago

Agree with all your substantive points

shanephotos.bsky.social•59 days ago

It really is a sad state of affairs. I went from being a member to basically never wanting to vote for them in less than 5 years. In hindsight I guess it was naïve to think Corbyn was ever going to set a progressive agenda with such a corrupt, awful party under him.

gruffthedog.bsky.social•60 days ago

Who wrote that, Labour party HQ?

It's 90% plans and announcements, rather than acheivements. The bit about cracking down on water companies is laughable.

recombobulating.bsky.social•60 days ago

If you think that all criticism of the state must be wrong and harmful then you are a right wing authoritarian.

adamfare1996.bsky.social•60 days ago

They’ve also announced horrific dehumanisation of disabled and trans people, but let’s just ignore that part yeah?

aminaerin.bsky.social•59 days ago

Thanks for saying this that Adam x

patricksamphire.bsky.social•59 days ago

Not seeing a lot of actual achievements there. Just a lot of hot air about what they claim they will do. When they've actually done it, then share the list.

wohyeahwohyeah.bsky.social•60 days ago

The problem is the Tories have taught us that announcing stuff is meaningless. Maybe in 4 years they would have achieved what they announced. But in 2024 we're become untrusting and cynical of announcements.

natacha.bsky.social•60 days ago

You seem happy to over look a whole load of Labout "achievements" also...

frightfulhobgoblin.bsky.social•60 days ago

[Doing things to address the actual issues]

[Doing things to address what people think the issues are]

[Doing things to address what you say people think the issues are]

[Faking doing things to address what you say people think the issues are] <--- Labour are here

xyalon.bsky.social•60 days ago

What are those pictures supposed to prove?

Two of them are worded identically and just have different designs, is that supposed to make them seem more believable?

Some claims are flat out lies, all the others are just "announced a plan to..." - a statement of intent rather than an achievement.

sloanefragment.bsky.social•60 days ago

all they’ve done so far is murder children and old ppl.

oh and introduced the first snti-lgbt+ legislation since section 28.

you dorks running around with that pathetic infographic are embarrassing yourselves.

sloanefragment.bsky.social•60 days ago

i love that the first item listed is ‘announced’.

oh, wow, you announced some shit.

that’s not actually an achievement you know.

alexjaymac.bsky.social•60 days ago

Yeah it's weird that a bunch of buzz words and management slogans like "announced a budget to restore stability" haven't been greeted with rapturous applause.
