A political dilemma in the UK
The Tories treat the British public as commodities.
Labour policies offer little, and it’s leader is a bore.

I'm literally a Labour Party member and I agree with you.
Controversial opinion (sorry not sorry) a Corbyn-led govt was the one option in recent history that would have actually done something different. However, the British establishment demonised him and the public rejected him. So here we are.

@Burnley123 Equally alarming is that the last time the Liberals were in coalition, they were not a moderating force, but more Tory than the Tories.
And as for the Ulster Unionists, the less said the better.
Then we have the Scottish MPs that have lost their way. It is hopeless.

@GeniUs Yes indeed. The political establishment would have been undermining him anyway. If a Corbyn led labour govt had dealt with the pandemic twice as well as the Tories, they would have got ten times the criticism. He wouldn't have lasted a full term
Honestly, neoliberalism is so locked down in the UK that it's just seen as common sense to most politicians, the media, the civil service and much of the public. One man at the top of the party and a hundred thousand left activists was never going to be enough to change the country. It pains me to say this because I was one of those activists. It was worth a shot but we were always going to massively outgunned.
It is grimly amusing for me to see centre left people starting to realise quite how craven and rightwing Starmer is. Some are still clinging to hope. The Labour left has known for three years. The Labour right does not care about the party supporters at all.
