With the projected majority, he doesn’t have to lurch anywhere. It’s the Tories that are going to feel forced to get nastier and it could be the final nail in their coffin. JRM has already been on suggesting they’ve neglected their “core”, which seems to be racists.
Agree with both points here but wrt. the possibility Kier lurching to the right I particularly agree. Left wing pals on whatsapp and folks online are being way too pessimistic about the prospects of the labour government not delivering left wing policies. Having played it safe during the campaign, Kier has a majority which gives him way more latitude to implement whatever policies make sense.
I wish people could be able to take the W and enjoy it for one night without cynicism or pessimism.
yeah the uk is royally fucked because starmer is absolutely going to lurch hard right on culture and immigration to respond to reform.
