Starmer, a former senior prosecutor, has made repeatedly clear that he is not in favor of changing the law to decriminalize drugs.

I would really like to see some meaningful changes from Labour on this issue, when you compare to the UK to the US and EU, we are too far behind. Pride and Prejudice is still too strong in the political class of the 2 main parties.
I’m always in 2 minds on this. The legal status of drugs in the uk has little effect on the availability as an end user. With legalisation comes more testing in work place and elsewhere. So it’d be legal but more likely heavily policed through insurance and benefits. This kind of testing is whats killed my use not any legal aspect
With our socially conservative main parties scared to lose votes, especially as labour aim for for first term. Id be suprised if much changed
