It baffles me that Starmer would rather further push into poverty some of the poorest and most marginalised people in the UK, than slightly increase wealth tax on the uber wealthy or add a small fee for large stock trades or something.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Those vulnerable are easy victims.
Where as the wealthy can and will fight back.
Moneys control of media. Seems to be the biggest floor in modern democracy.
Starmer is more aligned with Trump than he is with the sick and disabled. I think once you get this paradigm down, nothing about what he does is baffling.
Windvane Lammy… if he’s leaning towards criticism now that suggests tensions are higher than I expected them to be.
