It’s almost like traditional Labour voters: workers, the youth, the poor, the elderly aren’t exactly impressed with labours drive to make life in the uk worse for all the above sectors of society and see his spineless grovelling to Reform voters and transphobes for exactly what it is.

-96 points underwater with the only constituency you're actually targeting. wow

Of course, it doesn't actually matter since the project of Starmer's handlers isn't to actually have Labour maintain power, it's to strip the copper out of the walls & dismantle what's left of the welfare state + social contract, while completing the UKs transformation into a fascist outpost of unmitigated US policy.

Well yes, his job was to take power with the clamour for reform after decades of Tory rule, deliberately squander the chance for change. Turn left wing people off politics for a generation so Reform can take power in the apathy vacuum and we can continue marching towards fascism unopposed.
