you can equally easily answer this question by asking 'which members of the public is this party supposed to appeal to?' and realising that it's a demographic almost exclusively comprised of journalists
Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

Fascinating thread but I don't feel it's that complicated? This is what happens when you go out of your way to performatively kick your own coalition in the hope of impressing voters who never liked you to start with.

Ludicrous IMO but what the hell: does Starmer *not* deserve to get an avalanche of bad faith screeching, for failing to check what a guy he’s never met was saying on Twitter dot com in 2014? Of course he does, it was him that very stridently made this stuff the cornerstone of his public persona.

Compare that single instance of suddenly noticing things to, say, the damning evidence uncovered by the cranks at the national equality body in months of free access to the Labour Party’s internal systems, with the power to compel evidence and compliance. It’s comical, isn’t it. It’s a bad joke.

Yes, this is precisely why the Labour Racism terror had to be kept as far away from courtrooms as possible, and every expulsion and other piece of backroom shenanigans had to be lawyered to fuck to ensure it wouldn’t be subject to judicial review. I recall this being explained, openly, at the time.

It’d probably help their cause in general if they at least *pretended* there was anything real or consistent about all that cancel culture drivel. But they can’t, because they are first and foremost malignant arseholes and so the urge to behave like a wanker takes precedence over everything else.

You know full well that if a presenter of a BBC program claimed that they'd been forced out for their anti-trans opinions then Keir Starmer and several other ministers would have takes printed on front pages about it the next day.

Britain does not punish crimes by its elite, including genocide. Britain arms up and punishes the fuck out of *people who oppose genocide*, because the state is 100% behind that and, via proxies, it makes very sure that celebrities know their careers will be forfeit if they open their mouths.
The public inquiry into the Iraq War was as damning as it’s possible to be within this system. The parliamentary report on Libya tore the government a new arse. Both of them were instantly thrown in the bin and never mentioned again, in favour of inviting the culprits on TV and giving them peerages.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

He has now officially declined my request.

And it's especially interesting to me because this is one of the factors that led to Starmer becoming Prime Minister. If you're rightly appalled that we have a human rights lawyer as PM who seems to be opposed to human rights, then you need to look at the movement which he exploited to become leader

I don't think it was your motivation or the motivation of everyone involved, but you can't look at the parliamentary wing of the Remain movement being maximalist in this way and reconcile it with serious concern about Brexit's impacts, especially when it evaporated when dawn hit on December 13th

Do you notice how basically nothing in British politics makes sense, unless key players and major commentators are absolutely deranged? And then it makes *way too much* sense, everything slots together just fine. Because it’s elite radicalisation, they have driven themselves and each other crazy.
