He also does not isolate exactly what he thinks is wrong. This "that no Uk government has ever done"? What's that then.

Labour keep fucking up. Don't apologise. Don't explain. Keep making Britain more authoritarian.
Are not communicating a future of hope. No one I know wants Conservative, or especially Reform style, future planet killing continuity.

The rich and (mainly big) business have voices that Government, who is meant to serve us, hears. But all our often agreeing voices don't get heard in the right place.
We need a unifying platform so the many can speak and lobby as one voice for the planet, peoples and natures interest.

Whilst I have been hugely disappointed by Starmer and will not be voting Labour but reverting to Greens in future it's untrue to say Starmer has no roots in the Labour movement.
He's been involved with them since his teens.

As you noted the Greens aren't being unrealistic. In part it's we have to do these things or everything will be worse. But as you noted it's not about doing it all instantly but setting course for a hopeful future.

I talked in favour of Labour with the benefit of the doubt before they were elected. They've done some good things.

- failure to tax the rich
- failure to understand Modern Money (MMT)
Cowardly. Not acting in the people's interest.
