i keep seeing anti-labour memes about how they're just tory lite and listen. listen i fucking get it ok they suck ass they do. sure kier starmer is flawed as fuck and labour is diluted conservatives sure. but diluted. is still LESS. if this election is gonna be a pick the lesser of two evils situation u gotta nut up and fucking vote for the lesser evil. i don't give a shit. srsly I dont care. I know it sucks I know its bad but u can't. u can't sit it out. u can't protest vote. it won't work. and the tories will stay in power
no matter how much u can hate on starmer (and trust me I hate on him a LOT) he will be better than the tories.
blair was also a labour leader considered tory lite and u kno what? yeah he sucked ass but he got Some shit done. the NHS flourished a lil under his leadership u can hate him all u want for not having been a left enough leader but he was a damn sight better than the tories wudve been
so when the election rolls around u gotta fucking suck it up buttercup. I hate seeing this kind of anti-labour rhetoric even in meme form cus it's just gonna either discourage voting especially among the left, or it will completely split the vote. and then we will b truly fucked.
vote smart. vote labour if u have to. unseat the tories and fucking get them the fuck out of power
#uk politics#im gonna tag this as nuanced#and wait for the hate mail#cus god forbid i have a nuanced take#on the reading comprehension webbed site#but listen. we gotta be smart about this#morals in voting are for local elections#not the general one#in the general election u have to pull ur thumb out and pick whatever option will beat the tories#even if u hate em#sorry#thats just how it is#kier starmer#labour#fuck the tories#tories out#anti tories

"Margaret Thatcher sought to drag Britain out of its stupor by setting loose our natural entrepreneurialism"
Surely he'll lose more labour voters than he gains tories for this...

In theory Kier Starmer's attempts to be the ultimate blank slate allow anyone to project whatever ideas they want onto him while being impossible to attack, thereby increasing "electability".
This falls over because a) he didn't form out of nothingness in 2019, but rather he is a pre-existing person with a history and b) members of his Shadow Cabinet keep saying things like "we can never afford basic infrastructure repairs" and "we can fix the NHS by doing things that work rather than things that don't work".
So you ultimately end up with a guy who has apparently shed all his previous opinions and goals surrounded by people who seem to have been extruded from a tube of "Generic UK Politician". Which is great if you like abstract concepts like "competence" but if you want the country to maybe not be falling apart it's fairly dire.

Kier Starmer is a fucking coward and not a member of Labour, he's a way better Tory. If Tories lose the next election all their policies will continue, there is no opposition.

“The Labour party now is unrecognisable from the one that lost in 2019”

Keir Starmer: The New Nick Clegg
Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, made a pledge to university students before the 2012 election promising he would not raise tuition fees. As soon as he was in power with the Tories, tuition fees went up from £3200 per year to £9000 a year. Clegg’s duplicity was understandably greeted by "scorn” and cries of “liar liar". The Liberal Democrats have done badly in national elections ever since.
Now we are witnessing a repeat of history, only this time it is much worse. Sir Keir Starmer, self-proclaimed champion of the people, also made a pledge to students, going further than Clegg, promising he would abolish tuition fees altogether. He has now “abandoned" that pledge.
The definition of a pledge is “a solemn binding promise to do, give, or refrain from doing something". The key word here Sir Keir is “binding". A pledge is a promise that MUST be carried out. . No one forced you to make a pledge to the students; you did so in 2020 when you were campaigning to become leader of the Labour Party because you thought it would win you votes.
We know what happened to the popularity of Clegg and the Liberal Democrats after that one broken pledge. But Starmer has gone much further, and is reneging on a whole plethora of pledges he made during his bid for the Labour leadership.
During the leadership campaign he pledged that:
“Public services should be in public hands, not making profits for shareholders. Support common ownership of rail, mail, energy and water; end outsourcing in our NHS, local government and justice system."
When interviewed on the Today programme this morning (02/05/23) he backtracked on his pledge to have public services in public hands. There is to be no nationalisation of either energy generation or its distribution. Ownership is to remain in largely foreign hands with profits going abroad. Nationalization of the water companies has been scrapped. That is also to remain in majority foreign ownership with profits going abroad.
Increasing taxes on the rich has also been ruled out by Starmer. When asked “Is it not right the wealthy should pay more?" Starmer waffled and waffled. When asked why he could not reform capital gains tax so the rich paid the standard rate of tax on their wealth, he said,
“We’ve got the highest tax burden for, well, since the Second World War…high tax-low growth economies don’t work."
When pressed further, and told that some people (the wealthy) were doing very well financially because what they own has dramatically risen in value over the last few years, Starmer was adamant that the rich should not be taxed further.
“ I am not ideological" he said during the interview, “ my central focus is on growing the economy”.
So there we have it. Starmer has no set of ideas or believes that instruct his policies. Is it any wonder no one knows what Starmer stands for – he doesn’t know himself! He will do and say anything to get into power. Once in power, as he has acutely demonstrated, he will abandon those pledges that no longer serve his purpose.
So, should Starmer win the next general election, don’t expect any change to what we are experiencing now. Tuition fees will remain astronomically high; the water companies will continue to pump raw sewage into our waterways; energy production and distribution will remain in foreign hands; the rich will become richer still while the poor become poorer; the NHS will continue to be under-funded and more and more of it will become privatised.
VOTE KEIR STARMER: VOTE CONSERVATIVE
