Progressive outlook, most parties like Labour, LibDem or Green etc. They're not working together,they're too soft yet over 83% of Commons. UK decline & social & economic decay compared to S.M. is a function of our distorted & divisive hate media.

For elites and nothing but elites. The decline of the US politically, democratically, morally, ethically, socially, and economically is frightening.

Certainly lack of imagination. Imagine if Starmer had gone on media & addressed all public sector'thanking them for their service' & saying he hoped to stop the right-wing excesses of last 14yrs which left Britain in decay:Exposing Neoliberalism & reminding voters of all public service pay increase

Because they don't see that they won the vote by being ultra cautious. Then they fell off the mountain because they thought they could run Labour govt like last Tory 14 yrs. They failed on the public who wanted real change,but Lab could not dismantle or expse the NeoLiberal hegemony: No narrative

Going up M6 yesterday noticed a Union Jack or St George flag draped from every bridge more or less & that's a very long M6 from down South to to Scottish borders. Like Nazis when before they took power their symbols were everywhere.

Labour's greatest weakness ideologically has been its sheer inability to expose Neoliberalism of the Right Wing. It began with Thatcherism that 'proletariatised' pay & conditions of graduate teachers & nurses, essentially all public sector staff & then moved on to erode our public owned services.

I guess it did work to some extent last year when decent ppl came out on the streets to show solidarity with the Fascist's minority victims. But it needs more than that.Farage used disinformation on Brexit win;now he needs exposing as vile distraction of minority hate speak reaches take off in media
-
Tony and Gordon had clever smart ppl with strong media grasp and experience and used a range of different Lab movement ppl to expose Tories. Where are the Lab hard hitters against Farage & Reform clap trap being coached by American Right Wing. Where are 82% of MPs who are in progressive parties???

Take tax do you ever see /hear any of Labs 400 MPs articulate why tax has to go up in a society with 2nd highest inequality in Europe,female Cancer survival 20 yrs behind Sweden, Denmark,some worst child poverty in EU, working class age expectancy dropping, highest uni fees in the West. Tory 14 yrs!

The point is compared to the Three winning New Lab govts this lot are a load of meek,cowards no body shouts, explains,never heard or seen, no narrative, no Social Democracy. Lab's handling of the media is shockingly weak,retreatist & helps no one. Lab just hide away day after day as Right Wing wins!
