People who draw a false equivalence between leftism and fascism are fascism enablers. There isn't even a colorable good faith argument for the equivalence. At best, it reflects colossal stupidity.

Granted, we’ve decimated partnership with out closest allies but the US is a terrible option if we value our health, public institutions and the last few grains of democracy we have left.

100% this. GDP is not the ultimate goal. A healthy, flourishing, equal, compassionate society in balance with its ecosystem is the goal.
Our political class have forgotten this - cajoled by think tanks, donors and “the city”.
A country can have an excellent GDP and be terrible to live in.

People detest Starmer because they detest the status quo of cruelty, austerity and deep inequality.
He was brought in on a mandate to change that.
Instead, he has championed more of the same. And the promise he betrayed is why people detest him.

Why on earth are we settling for the dross that makes up our political establishment when we can be voting for real leaders like Rachel.
I want the UK to be famous for its kindness, compassion and dignity - not for its cruelty, spite and racial hatred.

The fact that they are even attacking him on Christmas Day tells you they are getting desperate.
