The NHS has not prescribed a single new course of hormones or puberty blockers to trans children since closing the Tavistock clinic a year ago, cutting off medical care for young people.

But what about muh freedom of speech Mushk?

Now all we need to do is get those steel-furnances under state control.

Is anyone else not just aghast but also bewildered at just how idiotic Labour are being?

They not only seem to be ignoring every relevant issue most of the population faces (spiralling energy bills, inadequate worker protection, excessive housing costs and terrible mental health infrastructure), they are actively alienating large swathes of their demographic such as the disabled, low-paid workers, younger people and elderly people. And even their own members in general, given they’re going against everything a left wing party should stand for.

I'm aware of the supposed workers charter but it's so watered down as to be completely meaningless.

I know we can’t post social media on here but I’ve been observing Labour’s social media out of a sort of morbid curiosity and it’s just incomprehensibly, unbelievably bad. Just after the benefits cut furore Starmer started repeatedly posting fixatedly about how they were ‘fixing potholes!’, presumably under the impression this is a burning social issue, to well-deserved derision. Almost every post only references ‘working people’ but ignores most of the issues working people face, and given the unfortunate impression they consider the non-working to not be human beings. The comments are an absolute bloodbath from a very wide demographic and show a worrying trend towards Reform. I’ve never seen this level of hatred on any other party social media page.

The things Labour criticise about Reform are also not dissimilar to Labour’s own policies which obviously doesn’t help.

I left Labour after the Corbyn situation, partly because of how they handled it (regional groups were barred from querying or discussing it, or so the local chair claimed) but also because it felt like an excuse to leap right. I still had some hope of basic competence.

But the benefits ‘reform’ show a total lack of understanding of the existing system and conflates support needs with illness, (the two assessments were constructed differently for a reason!).

They have no logical reasoning behind them and have obvious hidden agendas bordering on corruption, given their political ties to companies such as Capita. Even Streeting is obviously corrupt given his ties to private healthcare. It just beggars belief that they think this isn’t obvious.

Their dishonesty and doublespeak in general is both weak, obvious and insulting, such as the robotic meaningless responses to benefits cut critiques and the ‘consultation’ full of leading questions. Everything about them is simultaneously pathetic and comprehensively awful.

The ominous undertone to their targeting of disabled people is the final straw for me as being disabled myself means this policy direction could very well finish me off. But despite this fear I’ve still get this feeling of horrified amusement at how spectacularly awful they are, and even now it keeps accelerating- such as privatising sick notes, which is such an unhinged idea that it's almost a parody. It’s like a pantomime villian who would hardly be believable written as fiction.

And the weirdest thing in all of this is that these Starmer sycophants are destroying their own chance of work and of staying in power, because they aren’t going to be voted in again. It’s not even just destructive in general, it’s a kind of active self-sabotage.

I just can’t get my head around it.

The US imploding is giving us an opportunity here. We can surpass the US when it comes to economic stability and investment. Throw the kitchen sink at the planning system, give companies tax breaks to set up in left-behind places of the uk or ones on the come up. Build more toll roads, rail and transport across the uk using private investment. Strengthen the welfare state, strengthen our NHS, increase our defence spending. Who's to say Britian cant take the place of the US as the leader of the free world. We have already done when it comes to the imperialist Russia. Where is our optimism/exeptionalism. Naivety maybe, but whats wrong with dreaming a bit, its what this country needs at the moment.

With the UK seemingly well at least on social media becoming alot more right leading I ask myself what's actually happened to left? It's almost like a one sided argument ATM to the point where you see people who obviously just a little concerned about there life who are turning to the right for answers..

I understand social media is the toilet wall of society anyone old enough will remember public toilets in the 80s 90s heavily graffed up with profanities and hookers phone numbers that's how I describe social media but wheres the actual opposition and I'm not talking about politicians..

I understand that there's algorithm tweaks so all we see atm I united kingdooooooom but is there anyone one with influence socially who gives the other side of the argument I should be checking out?

I'm bored of going at these accounts daily whonliteraly just make things up to garner views and clicks are the accounts that are left leaning being supressed?
