Starmer is going to single handedly destroy the Labour party. He's such a typical neolib thief. What exactly is the point of even voting for his Labour over the Tories? Their policy positions and tendency to corruptly profit off power has reached full parity now that Starker has purged every real Labour candidate from Labour.

I think that's a massive over reaction to the general situation. There are noticeable changes taking place to undo the Tory damage to the country. He and Labor are far from perfect, but to question the point of why you would vote Labour over Tory is just insanity.

100% agree, we are in a far better situation now. I was really hoping he would be beyond reproach, and we could completely turn a corner on the the political sleaze, even if it is just a few suits and football tickets.
