In an effort to appeal to the median voter, Britain’s prime minister, Keir Starmer, has accepted the Right’s talking points on immigration and economics. This experiment has been a disaster for Labour’s popularity.

      I don’t think UK is progressing. To be honest it seems to be regressing these days. Each new day it’s becoming more and more a police state with secret policing and surveilance powers being passed.

          That’s the point. It was happening under Tories and continues to happen under Labour. Either way, you seem to be very invested in supporting them as an outsider.

            Yeah because I want to keep our enemies down: Tories, AfD, and Republicans are the same vein and the failures of the USA’s DNC and the German SPD and Greens could happen to the UK as well.

      Swapping out one government for another with identical policies on key issues like sustainability, xenophobia, and genocide is not progress.

        Ah yes. Key issues. Those issues. We all know the ones. Just not taxation. Not funding services like hospitals, nurseries, mental health. Not the environment, either. Actually very little they agree on other than Defence and Law Enforcement.
