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

This whole thing is a charade to stop us from revolting against a new monarch. This should be the end, a natural conclusion to the monarchy, but instead the mourning period is being used to prevent dissent, not only by quietening the public with the pressure of being respectful, but with the threat of arrest also during the transition period, and it makes me sick to my stomach.
Oh, and also, I can’t use any of the words I want to use to describe Starmer

"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...

[Image ID 1: UK Labour Party twitter post reading “13 years of Tory failure has left our streets unsafe. Labour will bring back neighbourhood policing” with accompanying propaganda graphic reading:
Do you think thieves should be punished? RISHI SUNAK DOESN’T.
Under the Tories, only 180 of the 4,500 thefts a day will see someone charged this year.
Labour would put 13,000 more police and PCSOs on the street to keep our communities safe and get justice for victims.
Based on Home Office data. Produced by the Labour Party
Image ID 2: reply reading “Starmer jailed and then deported someone for stealing a scoop of ice cream”
Image ID 3: accompanying book except, transcribed as follows:
Second, Starmer had to decide whether the main offence related to the riots – stealing from commercial premises – should be charged as theft or burglary. Theft had a maximum sentence of seven years, while burglary carried ten. He advised that burglary offences should be slapped onto other public order charges so as to increase the likely jail time. CPS guidance stated that even those who could not be proven to have taken part in the public disorder should also be charged with burglary rather than theft, “to reflect the unwarranted invasion of another’s property and the serious context of the offense”. This ratcheting up of the severity level issued in a serious of tragicomic incidents that were picked up by the national papers. A twenty-two-year-old Portuguese man who had not participated in the riots was walking past a ransacked ice cream shop when he decided, on a whim, to help himself to a scoop of coffee gelato. He took one lick, didn’t like the flavour, and abandoned it on the street outside. He was jailed for sixteen months and set to be deported back to Portugal, where he had not lived since he was a child. Another man in his early twenties received a two-year prison sentence for wandering into an unlocked Quality Save shop and stealing a small quantity of skincare oil. Ken Macdonald described such rulings as a “collective loss of proportion”, lacking “humanity or justice”.

Poverty in Britain is firmly linked to the country’s mountain of private wealth – Labour must address this growing inequality

So we have a Tory party that:
1. Lie, are criminals
2. Watch porn at work
3. Form a misogynistic boys club
4. Drink at work and assume others do
5. Give multi million contracts to mates
6. Get huge back handers from oligarchs
7. Create quasi Nazi immigration policy
8. Are very corrupt

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”
That's not the flex you think it is
