The leader isn't Labour's problem
Their problem is that people elected them to reverse the damage done by the Tories
Whereas they just carried on doing more damage
They need to tax wealth and invest in public services
And challenge the oligarchs dominating our economy
And focus on fairness

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!
Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.
