As I correctly predicted, Labour brings no change to the big businesses, far different than in past times you see.

-8 ( +2 / -10 )

Labour hasn't been socialist for years. The Lib/Dems are now the most left wing of the main parties.

-6 ( +0 / -6 )

Labour is center-left.

2 ( +5 / -3 )

That should say 'what's left of London's financial district'. A sizeable chunk of it is in the US and EU now.

The Tories did more damage to the UK economy than anyone else since WW II. Now, after Brexit, there isn't much left to break.

4 ( +5 / -1 )

In France , some falsely claimed that the hard right had swept into power because of the leftists agenda…. When the complete opposite just happened in England, another false prophecy.!. Strange how positions can change in 2 weeks.!. England has been stuck in the 60’s far too long and the population finally got tired of the same old political system of the rich getting richer and everyone else is left behind struggling.!.

Labour is center-left.

Labour is pro-war neo-liberal just as the Tories are pro-war neo-liberal. There's no difference between them. The opposition to pro-war neo-liberal in Europe is nationalist neo-fascist. That's what "democracy" has become there now. There are no left-wing parties in the traditional meaning of the term.

They have also destroyed the Conservative Party. Its a shell of what it was and struggled to raise any money going into this election. Its votes halved from 16 to 8 million. Labour actually got fewer votes than 2019 but won a landslide.

The policies in Labour's manifesto look incapable of making a dent in Britains biggest problems, but we'll have to see what they can do in office. Based on the policies that are written down, Labour is now a center-right party.

I'd say the Putin appeasers are the neo-fascists. Frequently they have the symbols and everything.

Gotta placate the leeches.

Symbols like "end the war " posters and views? Those are about as neo-fascist as Joe is cognitively able.

No. Symbols like shaved heads, tiki torches, and worse.
