This will be interesting. Starmer is Conservative Lite, and he is in danger of showing no difference to the conservatives.
When Labour want to speak to welfare reform and frame the poorest in society as freeloaders is shows things are broken from the top down.
This isnt just the UK. It's all over. The capitalist model is broken and no one has the courage to ask for a reset.

All they've got going for them is "competence" right now. They think the only reason the Tories didn't get elected again is that people didn't trust them to do the job and because of corruption over COVID, not because they were flirting with the far right and making everyone who doesn't have 7 figures in the bank worse off for 14 fukking years.
The entire country has been creaking under the pressure of "austerity" since the Conservatives took power in the wake of the credit crunch and instead of changing course, Labour are sacrificing their own base for the same approach.
They won't even show any differentiation with immigration. They think they can convince Reform voters to put an X against a Labour candidate if only they blow into the right dogwhistle.
It's not going to work. If they don't change course and give the population something to believe in rather than more things to fear then they'll end up getting replaced with Reform and we'll be back on the fast-track to Trumpism.

Starmer isn't the worst PM of my lifetime, but he's by far the most disappointing so far.
