    TERF Island is actually having it though. Like, polls showed a big swing towards labour when he was elected and now they're very close to the Tories in polls. It's very hellish to see. Just sink the entire thing.

      The optimist in me hopes that's at least partially because of 100k needlessly dead of COVID. Not that Starmer's Labour would have done any better.

      Why would you like it? I can only imagine solemn acceptance of nobody being on your side or righteous anger at something like this. How can you prefer this?

          The general you, I mean 😂 like why would a potential voter look at the labor party, see that Corbyn was ousted, see that they're more "pro-business" and think, "oh thank God 🙏🙏🙏"? I cannot imagine it without already being rich

            Like I blame it mostly on the media, British media is just the worst, outside of like BBC and The Guardian which are also bad but, like, they're "serious" when you compare it to the rest which is just the worst media imaginable, even US media are better.

            Oh thank god I'm not British, I don't know why they like this, but I'm guessing it's just because most Brits are generally conservative and very pro-business, Labor too especially after the Blair era. So a bunch of people got pissed off at Corbyn not being a capitalist shill. It's just a very dumb place with horrible propaganda rags.
