I didn’t vote Starmer in the leadership election but he is what we have and for every crap thing he does there is good progress being made, more money for the NHS, ending the 2 child cut off, more money for public services, raising the minimum wage and pensions, land reform and wealth tax

That was an act of internal politics and not of interest to the majority of voters who aren’t political. I don’t want to sound condescending but isn’t demanding you have a government you completely trust a bit child like?

They should have let Burnham stand I agree, but they didn’t and we are where we are and must not let Reform in

They aren’t. I don’t approve of the party antics over Burnham but Reform must be stopped. Labour is by far the largest party of the left most voters don’t know anything about the Greens, It isnt a choice between Labour and the Greens it’s a choice between Labour and Reform
