I just realised that Starmer’s Labour isn’t aimed the median voter - it is a median voter. That’s why none of the policies match up with each other and the one constant belief through everything is that the government is doing a bad job
This is exactly it. On essentially every issue, this Labour government is either too leftwing - a bunch of anti-business measures that nobody cares about, an infrastructure binge at a time when it should want downward pressure on rates, etc. etc. - or too rightwing (as set out below).
This convo has been had so many times but it’s worth repeating - most left wing people in 2026 are progressives who aren’t keen on things like Reformy style immigration policies or cuts to welfare for disabled ppl.
They aren’t checking state spending rates in their analysis of left vs right

Saw this quoted on here, was intrigued, clicked through, started scrolling up, continued scrolling up, thought “there is no way I am going to read all this to get the context for this comment”, kept scrolling up, scrolled up some more, then saw myself at the top of the thread? Love it here.
That’s just so vague as to be unbelievable, I’m sorry. On that measurement Margaret Thatcher was a Bevanite.

The necessity of the Matthew Doyle suspension was blindingly obvious weeks ago so it’s rather unbelievable it’s taken this long for Starmer to act. I guess we can add it to the list of about 20 other times it’s taken Starmer ages to act on something that was blindingly obvious weeks before.
