How did we get from “steals from the rich to give to the poor”, to “steals from the poor to give to the rich”, to “steals from the disabled to give to the rich”?

    Yeah that’s probably a feature, not a bug, I’m guessing…

    I can’t fathom how they’re doing so well currently (if the recent myopic polls are to be believed - personally I’m in denial).

    I wish our parties would start forming alliances outside of the election phase, it always feels like rolling the dice

      The simplest way I can explain it, is that Labour have failed their mission, namely to be the party of the working class. Rising inflation and cost of living, housing being totally unaffordable, and a failure to even adjust tax brackets to match inflation.

      And that’s before we talk about TPM.
