What we don't know is how to campaign on those and get elected."Why not just lie to the electorate with more right-wing policies than intended, and then change to more left-wing policies once elected, like you want Labour to do?I suggested a few months ago that the main ideological opposition to Starmer in this country could be from further left. With Labour on track to win so many seats it doesn’t sound so silly now.With the main pressure on the self-professed socialist Starmer coming from inside his own party could we see a creep towards something that the electorate didn’t vote for?If that does happen (spoiler: it won't) then he can be held to account by the electorate in 5 years time. That's kinda how democracy works.

Billy you really want to pull in calling everyone you don't agree with a Fascist it just makes you look like a third rate Commy from the KGB.
Labour announced a policy on free breakfast clubs for all kids. I like that, I'd love to send my kids but it's £5 each a day at our school which I refuse to pay for a slice of toast. Cannot see how schools have space for it though.

Funny how the majority of folk on here voted for this fella in 2019.“This war is disastrous for the people of Ukraine, for the people of Russia, and for the safety and security of the whole world, and therefore there has to be much more effort put into peace.”J Corbyn.

Why will a 20% fee increase in publc schools under Labour cause pupils to leave public schools - when a 30% fee increase under the Tories didn't?https://x.com/RussInCheshire/status/1800063753314287929
