Labour thinks it can win by being Tory-lite. But all they're doing is demoralising their own voters and normalising far-right ideas.
This isn't smart strategy, it's a surrender.
Don't just get angry, get loud! Share this if you agree.

"Her allies insist she told Starmer about it when he appointed her to the shadow cabinet and that he was supportive, saying it sounded like she had been mistreated by the criminal justice system. Downing Street on Thursday declined to confirm that version of events."

Urge Sir Keir Starmer to Step Down as Leader of the Labour Party.

It's not just that I left the Labour Party. Under Keir Starmer, the Labour Party left me.

He's proven himself to be an inexperienced politician taking the party so far to the right that Labour's policies look like those of the Tories before they were infested by the Far right English Nationalists we have today.

I just found out that the monthly cost of membership to the Green Party of England & wales is less than a flat white at Costa Coffee.

Not for everyone I suppose but something to consider for ex Labour members who resigned their membership as Labour lurches to the right under Starmer.

@jackLondon I agree with the first. Workers now are very different from those in the post war years as are the #Left (#LabourLeft) transformed/re-imaged via JC. I come from the era of strong trade unionism, CND, Anti Vietnam, Anti Apartheid Labour. Freedom to Strike, Freedom to Protest, free to criticise oppressive regimes without being stigmatised as being racist.

In June 1984, a visit by Ronald Reagan to Ireland was met with widespread protests, with a march on Shannon airport on his arrival, a large “ring around Reagan” protest in Dublin city centre, and the Women’s Peace Camp in the Phoenix Park.

This article from Labour left expresses disappointment at that party's failure to oppose the visit.

A scanned magazine article, reading:

Silence is violence

Nearly seven hundred delegates at the Labour Party Conference voted for a composite motion which called for a boycott of functions and engagements held in connection with President Reagan’s Irish visit. The international committee advocated a similar approach. However, it was defeated by the narrowest of margins.

Speakers from what may be termed the party’s ‘centre’ argued against a boycott. Senators O’Mahoney and Harte having condemned torture, mass murder,violations of international law, the attempts to overthrow a legitimate government (one that is supported by the Socialist International) and all criminal activities sponsored by the Reagan Administration, then turned around and said a boycott wouldn’t look good or was contrary to ‘protocol’. They of course were to later absolve their socialist conscience by personally boycotting the joint session but had helped block Labour taking effective action as a party. This position might be characterised as leading from behind. A majority of the score or more parliamentarians who boycotted Reagan’s Oireachtas speech were Labour Party representatives, yet because we did not lead from the front, a course advocated by the Left and one which would have brought attention to our internationalist philosophy, we failed to offer genuine, as opposed to token, solidarity with the oppressed in the Third World.

At Conference the leadership were given a lifeline in the form of
