America, given the spelling of neighbour!

Today we're preoccupied with getting rid of the Tories -- so finally we'll be able to unite in celebrating 4th July!

Corbyn got absolutely fucked at the election. Running as an out-and-out leftist awoke fuck all in the general electorate.

The right were more than happy to get their foot in the door with Cameron, before dragging politics in this country further and further right. Why are we so unhappy to do the same?

Also, when on earth do you think the Tories were planning on setting up a nationalised energy company, renationalising rail?

He's pledged to set up a nationalised green energy company, increase funding to the NHS, and build 300,000 new homes per year. That seems a fairly decent start.

Issue is the Tories have tanked the economy and cut taxes, so Starmer's got fuck all money without raising taxes (unpopular, even though I think it's the right thing to do). Post election and with a massive amount of political capital to spend, I think we will see tax rises on those that can afford it, to help fix some of the damage.

Eh, still better than the Tories. Supermajority begins the process of dragging the overton window back left, which I'm all for

What about the comic made you think it was implying that?

And to (hopefully) celebrate the UK election results

Quite a lot of people; if op is feeling unconfident in their body, I'd recommend them just looking at the thirst for bears lol

Depends if you want to imply you'll fund their penis enlargement.

This is a part of the SNP's manifesto already, FYI.

Yeah -- has the commenter above seen literally any civil war ever? It's the leftists that show up
