Indeed, it may very well be reform like always the centrists and their defenders will hand the country to the right and blame everyone else except themselves
Labour aren't perfect but I'm not going to vote for any other party while we have the threat of Musk backed Reform. One look at what's happening to the US should scare the sh!t out of people in the UK.
It’s not the fact they are not perfect, it’s the fact they are genuinely screwing this up. Everything they do at the moment seems designed to piss off a chunk of the electorate that supported them. They were good in opposition in crafting a narrative and hopeless in government.
Only in the media. Who are twisting a lot of what Labour says and does. eg the economy forecast. I never expected Labour to be perfect or do everything I want.
Not really. Let’s pick one. Winter fuel allowance. Straight off the bat. Little financial gain from an action that garnered really bad headlines. They handled it shockingly and caused real harm, where a more thought out approach would have been welcomed.
I'd say there's some of that happening. Labour Comms needs to sharpen up. Labour needs to realise that our media (well most) aren't going to give them a fair ride. It's already been non-stop trashing since July 2024.

Genuinely very, very angry with Labour. They’re utterly disappointing at every level.
Next they’ll be rowing back on the no new oil fields policy. Rosebank?!

Scrapped winter fuel allowances,
Proposed new runways,
Made the newt and bats speech,
Refuse to get serious about the EU,
Withdrew the £26bn Green plan
None of these actions would be out of place with UK MAGA.
If you don’t know the difference, google it
We need PR.
In the absence of that I hope for a Lib Dem / lab coalition…
Or a dramatic improvement from Labour
Always.
