I wish people would stop asking themselves why Keir Starmer is supporting this policy or that, as if there’s a knowledge gap, and that if he was properly informed then he’d do the right thing. He & his ministers have all of the facts you value at their fingertips. His decisions are not an accident.

"It's not for me to say to people 'don't vote Labour because you're going to split the vote'. It's Labour's job to offer a better solution".

Perfectly put.

People are sick of being told there are only two options: bad or worse.

Austerity. Brexit. Transphobia. Racism. For too long, politics in the UK has been about being horrible to people. Time to change that.

Hope, not hate.

" @greenparty.org.uk have hurtled past 130,000, eclipsing number of Conservative members. One poll already puts them on 15%, more than double last year’s 6.2% & tied with Labour. To call that a political phenomenon is not hyperbole."

The Labour Party is done as a serious party. You are all clowns by association with Starmer and his nasty ghouls. I hope you realise just how bad you are screwed in terms of electoral chances, your chance of retaining your seat is 0, your chance of winning the election in 2029 is 0. Lots of 0’s

But we're now voting Green because they represent what Labour should represent. Labour have abandoned their values.

Vote Green, join the Greens

i think when lab leadership hear 'left defector' they picture 'angry, fringe uni socialists'

but it's mainline libs - teachers, nurses, aspirational couples, recent overworked & underpaid grads & more settled surbirbanites - the **core** of their coalition

Why have Labour snatched vital vaccines from vulnerable people? Streeting and your party are a disgrace I have to pay £100 now for a jab I need for my immune system.

Why are you still voting Labour? Where is your red line? Because you’ve sank below “Tory voter” on the evil scale now.

I have no doubt in my mind now, after months of internal debate, that Keir Starmer, Morgan McSweeney and this false Labour Party are the worst British government this century.

They offered us hope. Now they spit in our face and tell us to like it.
