It is, except that, due to the UK's weird FPTP voting system, meaning that despite most elections having more left-leaning votes, most Govts since WWII, have been Tory.

Yep, absolutely right. We must work together to defeat the fascists.

The Labour government needs a radical game-changing plan to turn round its dire polling – and re-joining the EU is the only way to do it, the Rejoin EU Party says.

Without the freedom to pack up and live elsewhere else, most of us are stuck here in the UK however bad it gets. Stuck to be treated like the captive workforce we are. A capitalists dream! Thanks to Starmer, who opposes freedom of movement, that’s where we’ll stay. Workers party my arse!

But as an MP isn't that his job? To fight for improvements? To target aid for the poorest? To TRY?

Don't get a look in with the right-wing client media who simply fall on the old trick of laughing at them. They definitely need a Polanski character, for media attention. However, Davey is a decent, hardworking MP and others (Daisy Cooper), so they'd make a good partnership with the Greens.

I'm thinking this too. While many loaned Labour a vote to oust Tories and hoped for better gov't, they've been disappointing. Some good work swamped by awful stuff you list. Also, freeports etc.
A shady advisor? They agree with Reform? No confidence? Weird.

BBC News is a strange thing these days, seems to only broadcast from Washington, Tel Aviv or Nigel Farage's basement.

Really needs renationalising.

The Green Party have called for Proportional Representation.

The Left have 60% of the votes.

There would never be a Right wing Government again.

Lets get it done.

And in fact Sheehan IS an academic, although described as an activist; whereas the Reform guy is no longer an academic but IS an activist....

I believe it's all part of the right-wing cabal that includes shady characters like Peter Thiel, Elliott, Tufton Street inhabitants.

Next General Election will be Labour trying to fight off the Greens. I said at the last GE that if there was PR, the greens would have been the main opposition party as their support in the 24 years and group would surge. The only way for Reform to win the GE is if the Greens just split Lab vote

Fascinating that this is the issue that Mr Davey and the LDs have focussed on.

A comprehensive CU would be a big achievement for the UK. But it is not like membership or even the single market.

If the UK were to do this, it should ask to come under Europe's suite of trade deals

One of the most refreshing things about the Caerphilly by-election result was the stark contrast between voters’ actual views and mainstream media reporting or Reform’s social-media boosterism.
Media, how about more genuine reporting instead of lazy output based on X’s biased algorithm?
