Tax the rich. Strengthen the workers. Support the disadvantaged. Come on Labour, that’s in your genes.
We are literally talking about the exact same people who kicked Jeremy Corbin out, support Israel and Ukraine, and in these elections said that they'll basically change nothing.
The Labour party is just neolibs. The most you will get is platitudes, poverty and imperialism.
Absolutely, I have a few cans of disappointment chilling in the fridge for later
Are you sure we're talking about the same Labour party? Cause the Labour party i know is Blairite through and through. It was also under Labour that Britain started to wage ruthless and bloody military campaigns post WW2 in an attempt to cling to its colonial empire, for instance in Malaya. These are their genes, that is their fundamental character: imperialism and neoliberalism. Corbyn was an outlier, a short-lived exception.
They haven't been an actual "labour" party since Thatcher destroyed them. They're just another neoliberal party these days.
i mean its in their genes those genes just arent expressed.
