They’re being punished for standing against genocide.

The Labour Party's values contribute to deviate away from democratic socialism, and head in the direction of national socialism. What else could we expect from an institutionally racist labour party which seems to think 'Reform Lite' is a good look despite tanking in the polls?

Sometimes we on the left come across like we're talking down to people, telling them what mistakes they're making. People don't respond to that. If we're to win hearts and minds we have to make our case in the language of the people were trying to talk to
