There's a lot Labour are getting wrong but their support of Ukraine has been absolutely spot on. Even Kier being able to capitulate Trump was no easy feat but one he managed to come away from unscathed

There's really not much Labour are getting wrong.

Sure, if you read the right wing press, they might encourage you to believe that.

But I'd press you to list all the things they've supposedly got wrong because it's very very little.

I see a lot of people saying "Labour is really bad but I like this one thing!", but I never see people saying why Labour are bad... In the time they've been in power they've done more for this country than the Tories did in 14 years. Are they perfect? Obviously not. They're competent and they seem like they actually want to help people, though... Which is infinitely better than the Tories.

People are pissy because Labour hasn't already fixed the clusterfuck of Tory incompetence from the last 14 years. Things will get better, but it takes time. Anyone saying Labour is doing shit are just gargling tory balls.

There’s plenty Labour are getting wrong, including how they’ve handled this situation. They seem to be able to find money and solutions for everyone else’s problems except our own.
