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 don’t think that’s it, really - the more obvious answer is that Starmer himself is right wing. I mean he was the head of the CPS, let’s be real. Starmer is a conservative.
Let’s be real, the only way to gain power in the UK is to be centrist.
I remember my mum getting all excited about Neil Kinnock and how he was going to win, only to see him get kiboshed by the media.
Corbyn was a rinse repeat.
